Everyone, please forgive my OP. I knew nothing about this subject and did not do proper research before I posted. Although the responses did push me to find what I was looking for so for that thx. I confused the hardware for USING a dual battery set up with CHARGING a dual battery setup. The...

Currently I don't have any trailer wiring installed. That'll come later. I figured by using the Blue Sea manual switch on the primary, I can keep it on the 1 position to keep the main battery charged. Then the 1+2 position when I need the 2nd battery charged. Then by using the IBS system switch...

Folks, I'm currently installing a second battery to handle secondary items (lights, winch, OBA...etc.). I have both the Blue Sea manual and the IBS Battery Management systems. Down the road I plan to finish my ExPo trailer which has it's own battery. My question is, in order to have the 1...

My mistake they are not out of Canada. My intention was to see if anyone has seen thier product up close to give comment and comparisons. They sent me a price list and they are VERY VERY expensive. Mods...this can be closed and/or deleted. Thanks

Predator Trailers

STOKED !!! Gotta just put projects on hold till after or I'll just keep spending fuel money...lol.

I've read this thread several times and get inspired everytime I do. This is my next project. Sorry to say I will be basically duplicating your work with a few additions, water tank and overhead sleeping. I believe you said the box is removable, How are you securing it to the frame when in use...

How are things going?

Thanks, I will start there.

I've started the search for an RTT that will be able to handle a larger than average sized person. I stand 6'5" and weigh over 300 lbs. In life most things are not created with the LARGER person in mind, NOT knowing a thing about RTT designs, ie flooring and supports, where do I start? Or am I...

Sorry I haven't been back to review this. Work and life sometimes get in the way with play. in any case, my intention here was to get an idea of what inverter would be needed to run a fridge, water pump, tools, lights and some niseatise for the wife in a M101 type trailer without draining the...

where have I seen this rig before... !?!?!?!? lol :safari-rig:

I don't want to start rebuying tools. Cobra 2500 @ Cabela's $250

I'm looking to get an understanding of what size power inverter to get. To cover the powertools and a few specific electrical items that would have to tag along, how do I compute what is needed or do I just go for broke and get a 1000, 1500, etc.... ? If this is covered somewhere...point me to...

Skersfan... I've been looking at your build as well for tips. I've got a few projects on paper to scale. When I'm finished with those I'll lay things out on the floor. I actually have a few projects in line. The trailer is last, 2012 will be a busy year for me. It's a bit chilly right now in...

Rezarf... I'm going thru your build...gotten up to page 13... so far it's amazing. Both for product and detailed info. Altho its what, 5 yrs old now, it's new to me. I think this will be my baseline. WINNA WINNA CHICKEN DINNA !!! :victory:

Long LONG LONG time ago, a mechanic friend of mine asked me 2 simple questions when I wanted to get into engines. Those questions have set a baseline that I've lived most of my life by for all projects I undertake. 1) Do you mind getting your hands dirty? 2) Do you have the patients?" Now as...

Nothing against what you've said, but I take an answer and research it to verify. Research said the same. Thanks for the input on a starting point.

Thanks...Great info, just what I need!!! Gonna print and bind. If you find any more jewel tidbit laying around just remember...It's nice to share. :safari-rig:

First off let me say i've subscribed for future referencing. My question is about the frameing. You welded (2) 2 ft crossmembers to the center. Is that stronger than cutting 2 notches 1/2 the size of the tubes deep into each the crossmember and the center piece and weld them together like logs...
