Here's some inspiration or turnkey solutions: https://www.coloradotrailersinc.com/trailers-off-road Though with as much weight and stuff as you want to haul I'd go for a tandem 7x16, over 6x12.. you basically get twice the weight capacity, and 800 gallons of water is more than 3500# last I...

amen to that, I'd buy a couple of em more than likely.. touchscreen aint all that great.. terrible to use while driving, cant feel any buttons gotta take your eye off the road.. then when you reach out to push something and hit a bump you push something else and gotta take your eyes off even...

You tried Manual Coordinates and then uncheck Automatic Posting? Though I do see your issue, I dont think you can 'Connect' without hitting that "Start Tracking" and that might force a position beacon out.. though I think I only had to press that once and since its been auto-reconnecting when I...

Sorry I just saw this, going through the COM port on the back of the 710 is read only while the 710 is in APRS mode.. at that point it basically just spits out a TNC log over serial so APRSDroid can send all it wants but its ignored by the unit.. If you reconfigure the 710 to be in TNC mode vs...

According to my BMV, Ive pulled up to 180A out of my BB for a few moments while I fire up a saw or something on my inverter.. but so far everything's taking it, wife even overloaded the inverter once.. while microwave was running she was playing w/the toaster that was plugged in and pressed it...

Ive got less than 1in of clearance on each fender to get it through my gate, and I back it in and pull it out w/out any help anymore, on first try.. you just needa install bumpers on that back wall :P

BB can handle 1C discharge rate, 200A burst for up to 30s.. its not too far behind that trojan

You're not accounting for the high C losses, a single 12V FLA say with 100AH is rated that at a 20h discharge rate.. If you discharge it in 1h, its more like a 50AH battery.. that you dont want to draw down more than 50%, so you got 25AH of usable capacity at those loads out of a 100AH battery.

Oh you can get a BMS that handles high current, but last I looked one that could handle ~600A was about 75% the price of a BattleBorn LFP... handling high current through electronics that are made to last, is not cheap.. even high amp motor/pwm controllers for like Golf Carts quickly start to...

uh guys you do know that your truck is pretty good at moving a trailer about for some reason.. :unsure:

wait.. stock 4 pin connection? that dont support brakes.. you need 7 pin all the way through for brakes.. I tested mine w/the help of my son and a test light.. had him step on brake pedal and twist the gain back and forth while I watched at the trailer plug in the back, the light come on/off...

just get a mylar window shade and stick one of those folding contraptions outside.. though for the money they are not really worth it IMO.. you could start your engine and produce more energy in 20mins than those things would in a few days.. all those low wattage panels are battery tenders at...

I have an original MobileKind here, they are neat.. but I want something all in one for field use.. that has the GPS/Bluetooth all bundled in so my phone can sleep and not burn its battery too.. want dual band so I can mod it to talk to my son on his bike via GMRS without carrying multiple...

nice, I dont think argent sells those w/the radio anymore.. I always wanted one of them. I see your hamshackle APRS setup, and raise you my trailers GMRS Repeater + APRS Tracker.. but dusty but its all tested ready for its final install I'm working on now. . and for more cock waving, here's...

Yeah but in Canada you can do like 100-120.. so who cares, wait.. those were mph right?

the BB and other drop ins are competing with Deep Cycles, which dont put out high amps either and make terrible starting/winch/air tool compressor energy sources until you have a large enough bank of em that you can output high amps without high losses.. Starter Batteries and Deep Cycles have...

Tandem Dexter Torsion Axles, they make some that provide pretty nice lift.. that will raise the axle beam up to the bottom of the floor and give you alot of clearance under it, and they are fully independent, with 4 wheels it'll walk over stuff easily.. with so much length infront of and behind...

How to build a Bluetooth Module for the Kenwood D710, plugs into the COM port on back of Remote Head Unit (NOT THE GPS 2.5mm PORT) and passes on raw aprs packets onto APRSDroid, this gives you full (READ ONLY) information in APRSDroid while your 710 is doing all the APRS Stuff.. You can switch...

462.675 tone: 141.3 (Ch20) is the National Emergency Calling Frequency.. I monitor it from time to time and all my radios are programed to use that for channel 9 (for 911).. I dont monitor it much anymore because some idiot put a repeater with that output tone and all I get is morse code every...

My first trailer was simple tiny cargo trailer we tent camped out of, just a gear hauler.. did >40k pulling that thing around, I splurged and bought a nice fancy one for a whopping $3k and within the first 10k miles I figured I got that back in fuel from not just buying a truck.. just gave it to...
