    Trailer Stuff at SEMA 2015

    Seems an appropriate price point. Rather on the cheaper end if it comes with the tent... If I wasn't sorted, and it comes with the tent, I would have been interested.

    Fleetwood Neon Modified for off road

    I picked up an ARB4402A 2000 series awning off ebay for a great deal to add to the trailer... not sure how to mount it but I have been talking about the rack. I have been practicing with the ReadyWelder hooked to the Miller Mig welder (to run as a spool gun) for aluminum to weld the Jerry Can...

    My DIY solution to the UEV 440

    Love you attention to details such as that. I too hate rail pooling-- excited to see what you come up with!

    Battery Venting

    2x6v GC batteries have way better cost per similar 2x12v with comparable amp-hour capacity and a way better charge/discharge life. I run them in my off road trailer, and also in golf carts (go figure) where they take beatings and sloshing and seek to hold up pretty well so far. I'd say they...

    My DIY solution to the UEV 440

    Cool bed mechanism-- I love it. Great build! In regards to graphics, less is more. Plastering it with images really takes away from it. Graphics are great for making crap look better, but if it already looks great, why f-it up? Personally, it looks great on its own---I'd keep graphics to a...

    My DIY solution to the UEV 440

    Looks great! Lighter than I thought it was going to be, too. Great job :-)

    My DIY solution to the UEV 440

    Very nice. Loads of steel-- did you get a weight yet? Subscribed :-)

    2006 Fleetwood Neon - Family Adventure Basecamp

    I was looking at adding a charge meter but I don't want the light to always be on. Is yours always on or is there's button? Ideally I want it to show volt but only back lit when I hit a button-- is that how they work? Otherwise I can add a switch, I suppose...

    My 1968 Apache/ 2015 adventure trailer

    It depends on how long you are camping, and how many bodies you are taking with you. I say bodies as I have two dogs and they typically go through about 1.5 gallons per day. For people and cookinig/clean up, we figure on 3-4 gallons per day. So, without showering, I typically take 5 gallons...

    My 1968 Apache/ 2015 adventure trailer

    I'd say water storage. And a bottle opener :-)

    Fleetwood Neon Modified for off road

    Been a while, and I am starting the final phase of the exterior. I had some nice thick scrap aluminum angle iron (I am a bit of a scavenger/pack-rat and love to reuse everything possible) and I thought it would be perfect for my Jerry can holders and my Yeti cooler holder. So I started the...

    Cargo management

    Personally, I prefer L-track. http://www.amazon.com/Steadymate-15546-Series-Angled-Surface/dp/B0026FCGFO/ref=pd_sim_263_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1J1H35B4HADG8NNBDS44

    Not so Expo 2005 Rockwood Pop Up

    I recommend 2 x 6v golf cart batteries wired in series. Best bang for the buck, and life. No downside except weight, but what capacity you'll have! Costco is where I get mine. Tons of us solar folks use that set up. My favorite, at least, but tons of different ways to make it work...

    Not so Expo 2005 Rockwood Pop Up

    You definitely need a charge controller between the battery and solar panel.
