The control head is to the driver-side of the Aux Switched on a 3d printed panel...
+1 to my trailer being the “best” thing, at least in terms of making it possible to do more traveling. Such a time savor to get out of town quickly and have minimal chores when returning home.

In the mean time, I’m working on the rig and trailer. Also researching new...
We have a NOCO GB40 in each vehicle.

I just had them out of the vehicles the other day to check and charge. Both still showed 100% after 6 months. One of them had even been used to jump another vehicle...
