    Trailer multi-power source setup

    AFAIK there is no 1 unit that does it all. I use a RedArc Trailer S for charging off the 7 pin, it also can charge solar. For shore power charging I have used NOCO or Xantrex units. NOCO sounds best for your application. After conversion to 12VDC, this all goes to a Circuit breaker and then...

    NPS in Utah will start citing AWD vehicles on 4WD roads…better know difference

    I think they are just innumerate and do not understand how many 4WDs Chevy, Ford, Dodge Jeep, Toyota made over the decades that did not have lockers. It is in the tens of millions.

    Question on Differential Lockers

    "my 2000 GMC 1\2 ton Z71 has a limited slip diff" Limited slip is not an auto locker. You need to check the RPO codes and figure out what you really have.

    Question on Differential Lockers

    Signifcantly increased traction in low traction situations is the positive attribute. "worth the cost" depend on many factors from your income to what trails you run. A full time locker will be used every time you drive. Now whether you need it or not, depends upon what trails you choose to drive.
