It came prewired for Zamp solar panels. This was all figured in to the scenario. I will get a set of suitcase manels with a built in charge controller and they can just be a plug and play scenario. Because yes you can't have Sun all the time. It is in the plan

I am not particularly fond of the AC placement either. I have to be very concious when we are on trails of branches. I bought some steel rod though and plan on fabbing a brush guard for it that shouldn't be too difficult and I can keep it fairly tight. I don't really understand why they didn't...

Electrical supply: With the addition of the fridge and the fact I have to sleep wit a CPAP unit I didn't think the single battery was enough for when we are away from campgrounds and electricity. I spoke with my dealer and we outlined a system that would fullfill our needs. IDK crap about solar...

@Hafaday the camper build is started what a PITA to me the more intresting stuff starts with the tongue extension

THE BOX: Well it all kinda came down to this. We took the camper out with the new fridge and it is so tiny we had nowhere to keep it so it had to sit outside and I just didn't like that. The plan became creating a house for the fridge so I managed to take a $650 purchase and turn it into about...

Table mounted to spare: I had some materials left over so I had the bright idea (I only get 1 or 2 a year) and decided to fab up a table which would simply clip on the the spare tire mount. I kinda figured this out while doing the spare tire relocate and capper the top of the up post and added...

Spare Tire Relocate: Well, with the spare removed from the tongue and all my future plans involving a good bit of added weight to the front i decided to relocate the spare to the rear of the camper. It had to go on the driver's side as the opening side hatch on the passenger side would interfere...

Tongue extension and Lock n Roll install: Ok this will eventually make sense as you keep reading through the next 4 mods. Believe it or not this all spurred from us buying a fridge for a joint Christmas present to each other. We were tired of dicking with coolers and it just made sense. So, at...

USB solutions: I discovered that while we have a couple of 12v power plug spots sometimes it wasn't enough. I found these outlets that supplied 2 additional usb ports granted they can only be used if we are at a campground.

Auxillary lighting: When we were out camping I noticed it was DARK out around the camper at night and was looking for a way to fix the issue. I had some Amazon pods mounted in the bumper of the truck with amber laminex films on them so I replaced them with Caliraised amber pods and relocated the...

Thanks! It has really been a blast. The AC was an option that was already installed when we got it. It is factory installed. The best part is if it goes bad I just need another small window unit. We never run it above low or it turns the camper into a refridgerator. It can only be used if we are...

Kitchen Mods: Yes a real modification! other than fabbing a mounting solution for the awning most mods have been purchase and install. On our first trip we discovered that A: the camp stove we had took a crap, even though I tested it befor we put it in the camper. and B: we had almost no prep...

Grilling Solutions: We love to grill food both meet and veggies so I figured why short change ourselves and be limitted to anly a camp stove? W ended up finding the Coleman Radtrip grill. It does the job handily and folds flat. As our space is limitted this was a big selling point and it runs...

Hasika awning: We needed something to cover the rear cooking area but the available options from ARB and others weren't appealing. If we got one the width of the campe it was too small and if we got a bigger one it would be too wide for the camper. We looked and looked and found the Hasika...

Cargo basket: One of the first things i did was install a cargo basket on the Thule bars. I already had it so figured why not it allowed for more stowage of equipment

Well let's certainly hope not

"WE DID A BAD THING" This will be a build and adventure log for us and our micro camper. I will start with a brief introduction to us and our back ground. I began "camping" in the millitary I had never spent a night in a tent or eaten outside a kitchen in my life up until then as it just wasn't...

Nope you see a Cooper add here and there but not a lot. I, personally, have never had abad experience with them and the STT maxx has been exceptional for an all around tire.

like a Walmart grocery cartt thumpity thump

I have read through about 2/3 of this thread and there have been some great arguments to the dfferent ties and their designs. The one I believe to be an unsung hero in all this is the Cooper Stt maxx. I have this particular set of tires on 2 different tacomas and even now with over 55k miles on...
