When we are dry camping in the desert we carry two five gallon water jugs, tied down with two five gallon gas cans in the back of our tow. It is a lot of space and weight, but running out of either water or gas in the desert is a bad thing. I built a tie down system that secures the four jugs...

I have purchased a number of things, mostly cell phone related, from Anker: Anker | Live Charged. and they have been consistently good quality. The one exception was a cable that failed and they instantly sent me another. They are introducing a fridge with an integrated auxiliary battery with a...

This morning I read an article about an option for communicating when away from cell coverage. It is a small hot spot type device that connects to your phone with Bluetooth and connects to a satellite link. I think it would mostly be used for messaging but could save your life in an emergency...

I torque mine to 75 ft-lbs. For such a light vehicle, unpowered steel wheels, I think that's plenty. I do the same with my other trailer, lots of miles and never a problem.

I love my milwaukee compressor, but it is definitely not cheap. I like others have bought into a battery tool system, in my case Milwaukee. If you have any Milwaukee battery tools already, their compressor is worth a look.

I would say it depends on your use case. In the most usual case, the built in charger is almost always only used to maintain a mostly charged battery. The battery is charged when you tow, the trailer is parked with a charged battery, and the charger is plugged in to keep the battery in good...

An electric heater will be just fine with the modified sine wave, especially if it doesn't have a fan. If it has a fan, it depends on what type of motor it has if it will be happy. However, if you plug the shore power plug into the inverter it will power up anything else in the trailer not...

The zipper opens all the way to the hinge, the lid opens easily. We leave it unzipped during meal prep when repeated access is needed, zip it up the rest of the time.

The battery and chargers are great. The battery was shipped by FedEx which did not go so well. The situation is resolved satisfactorily but took a very long time.

The problem has been resolved. 'Nough said.

You should get a cord with #12 wire, especially if it will be longer than about 15 feet. A #14 cord will be rated at 15 amps, but will get warm, a #12 will be significantly safer.

I would pay special attention to the water system. At a minimum, add some Clorox to both tanks and fill with fresh water, then drain, refill, and drain again. At the same time keep an eye to the plumbing under the left galley compartment and under the trailer to check for leaks. The other thing...

Check out my post here New Td Battery On Its Way I put a victron charger there and had to modify the cut out switch to do it.

I love my trailer dolly. Makes moving the trailer around the property, into the garage, etc. really easy, but not an option for most. ;)

My new Victron 100Ah battery is installed and tested, and I am super happy. The installation is not for the faint of heart, this battery is slightly bigger than the Camp-Inn original AGM and is best used with the Victron charger. I ordered the battery from Colorado Standby, Victron 12V/100Ah AGM...

I have a Mopeka Tank Check Plastic Propane Tank Level Indicator https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082FQS7ZW/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_K2DQDY6VPJNRN79P1H0R. It is a sensor that sticks to the bottom of the tank with a magnet. It senses the level of the propane in the tank with ultrasound, then sends the level...

A call to Cary is a great place to start. If you want to be informed and possibly thoroughly confused, you could read this thread: Battery - Agm Vs Lithium

Hi John, welcome to the club. I am quite sure that your battery is toast. The arrival voltage is likely because the battery was being charged by your tow vehicle while towing and it managed to get the voltage up, the voltage then drooped from self discharge over the next few days. The 14.3 Volts...

Oh my, I am glad you are safe. That's not supposed to happen, it looks like Camp in is going to make it right. I have never heard of something like that, we have towed on some pretty rough roads in the back country. Good luck and keep us updated with the progress of the repair.

I agree that using a power driver may shorten the life of the pin, but that won't keep me from doing it. I just keep spare pins and a spare cap in the trailer for when it fails. Not having to crank the jack by hand is worth the trouble of replacing the pin now and then.
