Amazing video's ive enjoyed them and also learned some things along the way of viewing them . Its never done lol . I picked up t a little 1946 Ben- Hur trailer A civilian version 1500lb capacity of the larger scale model used by military in 46 Mine was sold by Sears & Robuck in 1946 ( love it ) your videos are quite inspiring for people who have some skills . Your determined and talented and thats whats required to do this / but also self satisfaction of knowing every detail of the build Thanks for sharing with people . Amazing trailer and though i dont intend on going that far with mine . i know whats involved please continue your videos . Even when in use . I think that will be helpful to a lot of people out there as well Best wishes with it and safety while using it ! i dont think you covered a alarm system but i used a car anti theft sp101 and its loud and very easy to hook up to any 12 battery and the alarms cost under $35 .oo us they now make the sp102 i think is same thing. They hold up and has indicator blue flashing light when alarmed It, will flash your signal and parking lights along with a very loud siren if the trailer is shook at all or moved ( just a tip worth installing)

Thanks so much for the kind words Jeep/mojo. Must admit, I've enjoyed building this camper a lot and really looking forward to doing some trips in it (once all of this covid settles down) and yes, will definitely be documenting our adventures. Best of luck with your build too, looks a really good base!

Hi how did you sent up the the hand brake lever on your trailer ?

It bolts to the original bracket for the support stand on the drawbar. I also have an upgraded axle with brakes.

I like you approach for the power set up, its a nice compact solution that is perfect for your setup.
Here is a power level meter that will recommends, its pretty cheap and gives you an indication of power level whether its charging or discharging. it will give you the amperage your getting from your panels if there is no other load or charging
As for will prowse he has a great forum for solar, battery and charger stuff. It is more aimed for home solar with batteries. Somehow I got banned on my second post for spam??? my second post was asking about a charger, my first was in a thread talking about a teardrop and the guy had water leaks and mold. I pointed him here and tnttt. not sure how either of those posts where spam, so watch what you say if you find his forum.
