For the earlier door comments...

Here is the SS plate across the bottom of the old style door for protection. I typically the rug or rubber mat under it when open just to keep it clean. The new style doors obviously don't need this.

Here is the interior door locking mechanisms on the old style doors. The spring loaded ones lock the lower door in place and the the other ones are for the upper door. The new model is much more refined, and locks for the outside!

Finally, here is the strap used to pull the lower, heavy door closed. The single piece door in my opinion is much, much better in all aspects. I can say that I have never had dust or water ingress through the old style door while traveling. Note the neat little step built into the door.

Wishing you the best with whichever trailer you end up with.

Thank you! We can't wait to see how either trailer opens up our camping opportunities. We are in WA state and the weather can really impact a trip.

Did you change the outside LED for yellow lights ?

Wifey and I no longer have kids in the house. So the trailer we have works perfectly for the two of us. But what if you do have a couple munchkins? Mark came up with a brilliant answer. Check out the double bunks above the main bed. Cool!

I really like those larger front windows too.

The bunks flip up to the inside rooftop when not in use.

While the table is nice ,we found it too up too much space to sit around. We removed it and now have a folding TV table and a bit more room to more around.

My son and his wife live in Kirkland. We’re going out camping soon. Somewhere in the east Cascades. Perhaps in the future you can join us once this virus abates?

We would love to. There is still a lot of great camping season ahead of us this year thankfully.

Recommendations: 110 or 165 w solar panel? Can I have too much Energy?

More is better!!!!

I have 200W on the roof and 200W deployable. When conditions are not ideal, it's nice to have the overkill.

The hubs are very easy to service. Snap off that little rubber dust cover and the grease nipple is right there.

With about 3000 miles on the trailer one hub is already taken one small tube of grease. I have to go to O'Reilly's tomorrow and get a couple more tubes.

Funny you should bring this topic up Mike. When speaking with Mark in northern Idaho, I asked him about greasing the wheel bearings. He recommended red lithium grease. I still have to do mine too.

Either mine were not full or they used up alot of grease in about 3K. I suspect Big Sky RV never checked them and topped them off.
