    Starlink Mini Portable Dish With Integrated Wi-Fi Router

    Availability and providing service are 2 different things. We stopped at a place where there was 9 Starlink (probably more at surrounding campgrounds) dishes at a campground. The speed was was down to 20mbps and latency at 70+ ms. The upgraded "Priority (data) Plans" (brings the speed up to...

    Symmetry Trailers unable to remedy, please help…dangerous Timbren suspension issues

    I found (right under my nose) the 5200HD. The bushing is 1" wider (isn't much) vs. the standard version. What doesn't make any is according to the dimension the standard 5200 and standard 7000 are identical...

    Dc to dc charging

    Wait until you get the trailer. That kit is a fire hazard. The 80A fuse is way to big to protect 40' (combined length of pos and neg) of 8ga wire. 40' of 8ga should carry 10 amps and be protected with a 15amp fuse/breaker

    Symmetry Trailers unable to remedy, please help…dangerous Timbren suspension issues

    I'm not sure Symmetry is 100% at fault because I don't see anything on Timbren's website showing a standard or heavy duty version. In fact this is what Timbren say for each axle capacity. Not only can this suspension handle tough loads, it also lasts under tough conditions. From the heat of the...

    Aux fuel tank idea - Tell me why this won't work

    Carter pump is a rotary vane pump so it will self prime and can be run dry. If it get's crap in it they are easy to take apart and clean out Carter pumps are 50gpm. The 17gpm pump that IdaSHO is using might be better for your (16-18g) application.

    Air bags for rear suspension, Unimog 406

    Installing them (sleeve type preferred) fwd of the springs would be easier. If you can't find sleeve type that are long enough you may have to use billow type and leave the bottom disconnected

    Increasing clearance on my Coleman versa trailer?

    On a 4 or 4 wheel you can get a 13" wheel/tire but the inside of the tire may rub against the trailer. Next step is a wider axle with 5 on 4 1/2 and 14" tire/wheel.

    Aux fuel tank idea - Tell me why this won't work

    Try a search for "Carter Fuel Pump" I've been using them for decades. Put it on a 12V digital timer so it will automatically shut off

    Aux fuel tank idea - Tell me why this won't work

    Nope. It only works for the 1st minute then you get bored/distracted and don't notice the main tank is full until there's fuel on the ground.

    Aux fuel tank idea - Tell me why this won't work

    I'd be surprise if you can find a gas tank that has a fitting on the bottom. You could used a diesel tank that has a drain on the bottom but it's a bad idea to drain gasoline off the bottom of a tank.

    Dexter Torflex axle hub compatibility

    I put 205/75R14 on 2 trailers running 35psi for a little more cushion/durability off road. Swapping wheel/tires is easy. The fenders and making brackets for them takes the most time.

    Another 2020 Ram 5500 Flatbed Camper Build

    I usually see 4-6 are cracked. For just one welding both sides would work. An idea for the long term would be to cut alum. flatbar that fits inside between the flanges of the channel. On the outside bolt 3/16"-1/4" alum angle to the channel/flatbar and gussets. Best to do before more cracks show...

    Another 2020 Ram 5500 Flatbed Camper Build

    Nothing wrong with aluminum just Alum-Line are crappy builds. The welding is downhand and the channels isn't thick enough. My $0.00002 to fix (welding the other side will delay cracking) this would be to add a 6" long doubler (3/8" flatbar) between and the gusset. The doubler would go flat on...
