x2 for Milk Crates, if you want to make a lid for one you can cut the bottom off another and secure it with zip ties like a hinge

I got both, started with Generator but I hated firing it up at crack of dawn to make my coffee.. GenSet is primarily used as a battery charge source, sun dont always shine and I dont want to have to drive for hours every few days.. I also have it so I can run AirCon in the summer but thats only...

its value to me has increased quite a bit, especially since they made only a handful of these trailers.. but its irrelevant since I'm 20 years from retirement and I cant see letting this go before then.. my two sons love camping and being outdoors, so its worth every penny IMO. The comforts are...

Manager30 looks nice but ************************ that price.. Try to take advantage of the fact you can charge the BB @ 50A til its full, that'll take you from 5% to 100% in ~2h.. I've got a 25A house charger now, I'm not satisfied knowing I could charge it up in half the time I am now.. so I'm looking at...

Cull em... around here coyotes are urban and lost all fear of humans, they are extremely brazen.. Ive got two resident yotes that each have bum legs and look terrible (used to be 3), being in city limits I can only wait for em to pass naturally.. they are over the normal age for wild coyotes, so...

I love my BB 100AH, I just wish it was cheaper so I could get a second. Your AGM's should always be parked fully charged off your alternator, thats all that you can do for those is ensure they are always charged up.. mebe a small battery maintainer for off season storage but thats about it...

Here's the money shot from the battery compartment: Here's the fuel gauge, it is powered when external light sensor is switched on and the red back light comes on when it gets dark with the external lighting and this is a hardwired clock I installed, it has battery backup and DC input.. DC...

voltmeter wont do you any good with lithium, they they are basically the same voltage at 90% as 20%.. I'm using a Victron BMV-712 and using it to calculate State of Charge based off usage.

I think its motors w/brushes in em, which would be pretty uncommon now days since brushless motors are so cheap and efficient for a while now.. Ive got tools that span generations and Ive had several pop a GFCI the moment I plug em in, but I cant even recall what ones gave me issues because its...

I see nothing wrong with that inverter, cant give any feedback as I've never used it.. GFCI can be an issue for some power tools but should be fine for coffee maker.. not really impressed with its peak or its idle consumption.. my Victron has 2400W peak, consumes .6A idle and .08A in eco mode...

yeah thats fine, however if your going to pull some serious amps through the chassis you should have redundant grounding paths for battery/engine (alt).. I once had engine ground strap fail and the path to ground for the starter was a throttle cable, bet yeh can guess how that turned out.

My BB 100AH Lithium will charge in ~2h from 5% to 100% w/50A charger.. thats a whole lot of amp hours for such a short drive and only 35lbs of battery.. fits my style of resting a few days, then going a few hundred miles and resting a few more, this is sooo much easier to get by w/out solar on...

just going over the curb im on two wheels.. they dont bend.. I am fully loaded I suppose.. dunno what I could put in here to get close to +2k more pounds.. I aint carrying harleys around.. I guess if you plan on hitting 100% capacity then overbuilding axles might not be a bad idea. I'm going...

hrmm, ive had 2 wheels in air plenty of time and no bent axles yet (does it every time I put it in back yard, at least).. but I've yet to reach weight capacity, needa weigh in this year now that I have it loaded out but I'm thinking I'm around 5k right now.. I think it just bottoms out over...

I have tandem 3500# dexter torsion axles, they are fantastic.. whats your reasoning behind avoiding them? they work really well for toy haulers because the weight range between empty and loaded is so wide and they drive great in either situation.. plus you get extra clearance and all 4 wheels...

My intech has dual queen bed tipsouts, I can sleep 4 adults in provided beds and probably another 4 on the floor of the trailer if I needed. Trailer tires take more abuse than you'd think, I had to replace the wheels on my 4x7 trailer after some spirited driving on a poorly maintained section...

I found out after buying my intech that a trailer w/out plumbing is cheaper to insure, I just carry jugs so I dont need any hoses, I can fill from a stream w/out contaminating anything but a $10 jug... I took fridge out of the slideout, I'm thinking of putting a sink and water pump there that...

Installed Victron 1200VA VE.Direct Inverter, runs the Microwave, Coffee Maker, Crock Pot just fine.. now wife wants an ice maker, sigh. Then I installed, purged, filled the new 30# Horizontal LP Tank, the Fuel Guage is installed inside but its too cold and wet to run the wire to it yet...

its only 4in wider on each side than the X139 at edge of tires.. the box is still within truck profile, actually skinner so dont need tow mirrors, and I kinda like external fenders personally.. easier to spot tires in mirrors, easier to change sizes, and if one lets go it'll just take the fender...
