Since I'm not tied to any manufacturer, except McHitch, I don't feel obligated to blindly support any of them. You keep implying that I am biased against Crruisemaster and that somehow If I choose not to provide real world failure rates, which none of us have, or if you don't understand torture...

I'm curious about this. And the parallel wiring should be as I described with the plus cable at one end of the group and the minus cable on the other end of the group. This assures even charging and discharging. There may be some other issue, so please keep us updated.

Is there any chance your batteries are getting down to about 35* F and shutting down?

I can't tell from your pictures, but it doesn't look like series wiring, from what I can tell. Series would mean the cabling was connected plus to minus and plus to minus at the batteries. It would also mean that instead of a 12 volt output at the inverter, with three batteries, you would have...

I definitely am not "too close" to Morryde or Pause to be influenced in some way that makes me excuse them. Quite the opposite. I challenged them face to face about various designs and pointed out deficiencies in the designs of the suspension and the Morryde articulating hitch. I am fortunate...

Regarding the suspension, I've looked at it carefully and talked to the engineers, in person, that designed it. I toured the Morryde factory. I talked the their spokesman about it. Morryde and Pause worked together very closely on various parts of the trailers to develop the Reboot and the...

Not sure what you mean by this. You seem to be implying that they deliberately made them fat. The trailer weight is proportional to the trailer size. They are surprisingly heavy, but let's look at why. The aluminum frame is a lighter material, but there is a lot more aluminum in the frame...

You might be a lot happier with a McHitch. They are the real deal. In your case a 3.5 tonne kit from McHitch.us Check them out.

The E80H code is likely a flame detection issue. Dirty or faulty sensor, low gas pressure, or gas supply problem.

As far as I know, if towing, you must chain up at least one drive axle and at least one trailer axle. So, with tandem axle off-road trailer, only the front of rear axle tires would have to be chained. And, of course, the drive axles of the truck. So, four tires. And almost always, the tailer...

Any time chains are required, and you are towing, in CA, you have to chain the tow vehicle and the trailer. It has nothing to do with whether you can make it or have made it before. It has nothing to do with the kind of tires you have. When not towing, and if you have 4WD and M&S rated tires...

These look very interesting, but I'm not so sure about them. The advertising says the frame is galvanized, but the pictures show it black? The frame tongue rails look quite small, so I'm skeptical about the frame. A good close inspection in person would be very valuable. Very little info on...

The flex on the 195/R1 trailers causes the front storage box to damage the front of the trailer. The box is mounted with zero clearance to the body and when the frame flexes, the box presses against the body. But, in the case of my friend, the frame broke and it pulled the body mounting bolts...

The X195/R1 chassis seems poorly designed. It has thin tubing, inferior welding and a truss under the tongue that is all about looks instead of function. And it has the minimum number of cross members. The Reboot tongue does flex. It has a triple tongue arm design where the tongue is a lot...

In my quoted article, I was pretty critical of Pause. That was before the Reboot came out and before I really took a good look at one of them. I was prompted to do this by continuing problems with the Roamer 1, to the point that something snapped in me and I decided, "That's it!". The last...

I picked up my new Reboot at the factory in Ligonier, Indiana. Air suspension with over 11" of travel, 12 gallon air tank with quick connects at the wheels, Victron 3000 watt inverter/charger, 800 watts on the roof and 600 watts in two portable panels, aluminum frame, excellent wall...

I built my own positive pressure system using a modified mid '80s Chevy van air filter and squirrel cage blower. The air filter has a water separator inside to collect and drain blowing rain and uses the stock air cleaner element. Water cannot get in, but filtered air can. A grill on the...

Best is subjective. I have no idea what is best for you. Price, quality build, abilities off-road. Comfort in all weather, number of people you travel with, etc. I'm not in a position to a do a large comparison. I know a fair amount about Oliver, Black Series and Imperial off-road, and am...

I love that video. Look at how they stay on the throttle as long as there is any forward movement in the sand. They don't bury themselves, but they don't give up. In the rocks, they take advantage of momentum. Not speeding, but not stopping. This is the key to getting through. On long...

ROA is a wonderful company and I work well with them, but I am not affiliated with them. I don't work with IO directly in any way. I see them through the eyes and experiences of others. I see the responses others get. I look carefully at the trailers and evaluate the problems to look for...
