The problem with relying on a very small solar panel is that, while it might maintain four large batteries with adequate sun exposure, if you drop in to check on the trailer and run some stuff, say the furnace, while you are doing things in there, you might deplete the batteries further than that dinky "maintainer" can deal with. It is intended to keep one or two fully charged batteries topped up, NOT recharge four of them... it only puts out 1.5 amps in the best of circumstances. I would suggest a 100 to 120 watt folding (suitcase) unit, so that it will recharge during storage, as well as be useful on camping trips. The larger size will also make up for degraded charging due to the grey days and much shorter hours of winter, a partially shaded panel, dirty glass, etc. Bigger is always better in this situation - it gives you some reserve capacity.

The search tools are soooo much better! I just posted in another thread about greasing zerks, and using the search tools I quickly found the earlier thread where the Lock N Lube fitting had been recommended. This would not have been easy on the old forum! The format is different, but I am getting used to it.

Mirna - If you "hover" your mouse over the "heart" another window will slide out giving you four options. One of those options is a "trophy cup". By clicking on this trophy cup a "thank you" will be posted. Bill

Can the justification be changed from center back to left?

Well, this is a huge issue for me, I hope this new Attachment Limit is not permanent feature.... I would post a screen shot but I am no longer allowed to post pics. I have use up 141% of my Attachments. There is a 488 MB limit now, which is not actually very big. I am a prolific image poster and if I have to start deleting old ones to free up room for new images, then it will destroy any value in those older tech posts. Comments? Is this temporary? I hope?

I measured 4-3/8 one side, 4-7/16 other side. Measured as pictured below. 51 psi in the tires. Sitting level on concrete floor.

I have mentioned this in the past, but I will repeat it..... Get a long 1” shank ball, intended for going through a thick factory bumper. Get the 7500 pound rated version. Use a regular type 7500 pound ball mount, around 2.5” drop. Buy ten grade 8 1” ID large area washers to go on the shank. Do not use regular soft washers. Now you have the ability to tune the ride height in small increments by moving washers around, above or below the hole flange. KISS. Works great, cheap, lightweight. John Davies Spokane WA
