Anyone who works out of a truck for a living as a tradesperson finds out in short order how useless half ton trucks are. I was routinely over payload and GVWR on this truck, which was one of the reasons I went to a T250 medium roof van. And frankly I should have paid a touch more to get a T350...

Larger gauge wire? I deal with 120-240VAC equipment mostly, so don't have the guidelines for cable size memorized for low DC stuff.

Its about time. Hope they beef up the frames significantly.

Last two years under Thor quality went downhill, and some design changed. The tent trailers got a composite floor rather than aluminium plank. People reported a very spongee/springy floor. On the camp light line up of enclosed trailers, they went to a membrane type roof rather than aluminium...

All of the loads are mentioned. No fridge or cooler. Battery is two years old. Interstate group 24. 140 RC and I think was 660 CCA. Stored indoors during winter. Never been recharged with anything faster/larger than 2amp. Usually recharged by the converter, and the trailer is left plugged into...

I have four lights that are used in the camper. Two typical RV style ceiling fixtures that I converted the dual 194 baae bulbs to radially mounted LED arrays, a cylindrical LED bulb that replaced the exterior porch light maybe a 917 base I forget), and a small 194 base style LED bulb in the...

I HATE the wrangler silent armors. Had them on a 2004 Chevy Express one wheel drive. Got stuck everywhere in winter. Roads, driveways, parking lots. Meanwhile Fountain Tire is like... Oh, next to Duratracs thats a great performing tire for all season and fleet vehicles.

I should look at efficiency more then. I feel our camper battery is 100 AH or so, ill go check, but the thing plummets due to either converter draw or the propane detector thats on all the time. The lights don't even get 1.5 hours of use per day, and unless its super hot without a breeze, we...

I feel like there was a couple threads about the weeroll ones in the last year or two. Nothing super useful or conclusive comes to mind. Try a search and see what you can dig up and ill go look as well. *edit* Not a lot of people chimed in about having one in the most current threads.

^^^ Thats the plus of small trailers, can get them in the good spots at camp grounds. My local RV lot has RPODS listed at 25k CAD, so another reason to look elsewhere.

Isn't a 135 AH battery thats FLA like 40+ KG?

I am a residential/light commercial HVAC mechanic. I have a good amount of tools. Good digital multi-meter, typical hand tools like side cutter, wire stripper and crimper etc. Don't have a heat gun but could borrow my Dads or father in laws. Or buy one and write it off. Have some heat shrink...

Not sure what future larger loads would be, but have NO interest in a microwave or AC. A good 12 VDC fridge in the next camper, but ideally I'd have a larger or multiple batteries dedicated to the trailer and solar dedicated to the trailer. I'm in Canada where everything seems to cost...

Almost every year, my wife and I take a 2-3 week trip with our ******** box pop up camper. We almost exclusively get non power camp sites in campgrounds. We have been using a 90 watt Coleman solar panel w/ its charge controller to help keep the camper battery topped up. (All interior lights and...

Winnibago has an RPOD clone as well, and I think the gel coat walls are better built, but is otherwise of typical poor mainstream RV quality. Has a wood floor rather than the sandwiched foam and luan floor of the R POD

Was it real plywood, or just OSB?

I did my transmission fluid at 97,000 KM I don't have tow package, and did 4 years of hauling and towing. (1500 lbs in truck every day, towing 2-3000 lbs so nothing crazy) Shop said fluid looked good, not burned not lots of debris. I don't have tow package either. But for what a transmission...

Once upon a time when Thor didn't own them, and most likely pre housing bubble recession, Airstreams were something to aspire to. I've never owned one, but it seems to me that most trailers have gone drastically downhill in the last decade, decade and a half. Regardless of price tag.

Sounds like you got what you wanted. Still 30.7% above your stated price though.
