    Solar Power 101 Advice For Trailer

    Nicely put. Thank you. I know the LED light won't use much power. If you could send me pictures of the connections from the battery to the plugs for your lighting and auxiliary charging when you have time. I'm still out some time before I commit to the power.

    Solar Power 101 Advice For Trailer

    So, as I get closer to finishing my trailer, I need some help. I hope someone can show me some pictures of their solar setup. I would like to see a more detailed pictures. I could be over thinking this. Really, all I the power I'll need is to run LED rope lights.

    Starting My Project Build From Scratch.

    It's been a fun adventure designing this. I do not have welding skills like my buddy has. My welding skills are close to an AG 101 student on his first day.

    Well, that's why I now have a trailer. I won't need to put anything in my truck. Hahaha!

    No kidding. I think once I get the additional 250# off the rack I should level out...hopefully

    Starting My Project Build From Scratch.

    Today, my trailer made its first test run. Everything seemed to track straight. Of course, once the tent is on top, and I actually have some weight inside, it should smooth it out. I did not get pictures, but I was able to jack knife my trailer backing up without any contact with my bumper...

    Rear receiver welded on for the bike rack. Then, had to slightly adjust the rear swing out gate. The top rack supports pulled the sides in just enough that the gate wouldn't close smooth enough.

    The adjustable coupler and safety chains are attached. Hopefully, it'll be strong enough..

    Thats a great looking trailer! That's the one downfall of line X, I know it is a bit more rough. I could see the line X being tougher to clean, but then, you wouldn't need to worry about it looking clean like powder coating. I think I may name this trailer Winchester. Like I said earlier, I...

    I think I started planning this build about 6 months ago. I finally pulled the trigger in December. I would have been nice to have the trailer on our last trip to Big Sur, but I guess it is what it is. It did cross my mind to add the shocks I took off of my Tacoma when ibput on the...

    Starting My Project Build From Scratch.

    I got my stainless steel table. I need to build a frame for it now. I'm almost to the point of making my decision on whether to powder coat, or have the trailer Line X. Any pros, or cons on either?
