I would mount all electronics including the switch internal out of the elements. Make sure and wire with big enough wire from the battery to the inverter. The easiest source might be to cut up a pair of jumper cables.

I actually have a shore/inverter switch. In one position the 120v outlets are hooked to shore power, in the other the outlets are hooked to the inverter. All you need is a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw switch). I actually have mine where it has a center position off so I can disconnect both.

Its in the sig line????

For a laptop, you can get a 12v adapter cord with electronics for most laptops for a few bucks on ebay. That way you can charge from in a vehicle as well as the trailer. I also have 12v USB adapters in my trailer so I don't have to run the inverter.

I have a $20k stated value on my custom teardrop. It costs me something like $10 a month.

The sway bar is nice but way overkill on an overland rig....and pricey.

85 Jeep Cherokee It's only 35 years old.

Agreed, but the obsessive engineer in me had to speak up ;-)

While that is true if the vehicle is sitting flat, if you use it when it is off level, then move it to level, your pressure will change. It isn't much, but it has to do with pressure/volume/load.

Yes it was on my XJ. I am a tech Guru over on NAXJA and have years of experience and input from dozens of guys I have helped build rigs and wheeled with for decades and they all kept telling me the Rancho's were old tech (crap). I had run RS5000's as well as the adjustable RS9000's which I was...

I would not recommend the Rancho Shocks. I ran Ranchos for 25 years. I recently upgraded to Bilstein Shocks and the ride and performance is way better both on and off the road. After that, I recommend some good recovery points, a good tow strap, maybe a rear lunchbox locker. Spend the rest...

After doing an OB outing, I was surprised the number of young kids. I think there were 15 kids under 12. I enjoyed them but is that normal. How about everybody chime in and say where they are from and if they camp with young kids and how many.

Had a great time. Lots of good people....and lots of kids. Enjoyed the time around the campfire.

I actually have an axle designed up and I am starting to fabricate that has steering. I do a lot of real sharp switchbacks and having steering on the trailer would make life a lot easier.

If you are in that tough a spot, you probably shouldn't be limiting your self with a trailer. Backing up on a tough tight trail downhill is a bitch. If 4wd, lockers, and aggressive tires don't cut it, don't try it.

Personally I don't remember that much about it. I remember it had some fun rocks and ledges on the way. I am all packed and at work. Hope to head our sometime around 4pm and get there no later than 6:00. Got to stop and get some worms for fishing and maybe some firewood.

Packing up to do 3 days in the High Uinta's of Utah this weekend.

destination the home of the Jolly Green Giant.

That's one way to find your way back to the highway if you get lost.

There have been tons of mountain lions up by Masonville since the 70's. The joke around there is...what do you call a dog on a chain in your back yard... a snack.
