I agree that the solar panel is a real drag.

I walk around my trailer twice before moving it. Double check everything.

Gotta be able to pull it with my truck....

This is good news.

If you have the Isotherm Cruise 130, it draws an average of 400 watts per day, or 16.7 watts per hour, if what I have read is correct. Your 260AH batteries have 3,120 watt in them which will run this fridge for 7.8 days from 100% charge to 0%. Of course they would shut off before that to protect themselves. Your 240 watts of solar should produce 900 to 1500 watt-hours per day assuming it is sunny, and they are clean, which should allow you to run this fridge indefinitely by itself. You should probably look at other electrical items you are using.

Certainly. Pull forward on light housing: Ignore bulb and remove electrical connection at back:

This is exactly what I've been telling my wife all these years.

I have the Elite II and have tire pressure/temp monitors installed. I have yet to remove a tire but I don't think it will be an issue since the stabilizer jacks will comeplete lift the tires off of the ground.

I disconnect the light.

Won't be so bad in the morning if you'd cut back on the jolly juice.

Same, but mine is in a Subaru Outback.

Wish I wasn't such a wuss. I'd buy one.

My inverter automatically turns off when not in use but because of old habits, I just turn it on when I need it and shut it off as soon as I am done.

I was visiting my parents for almost a week and didn't have the trailer hooked up the entire time because their electrical line was messed up. We were somewhat conservative and managed to get back to the house with about a 30% charge. We had the fridge running the entire time, used an electric water pot for coffee, periodically used the microwave, used the Maxxair fan on multiple settings, used the gas heater every night and had the lights on for hours. I should clarify that we have the 390 ah Lithium package with 400 watts of solar, though the latter was rarely used because it rained the entire time.

I doubt very seriously it will ever be a problem but better safe than a statistic.

Only one way to find out.

Proper use of aluminum

Yes but I'm afraid I might cry myself to death afterwards.

BMW makes some of the best bikes you can buy. If I were to get one, it would be the 900 GS Adventure.

He's not kidding. They are thick, heavy rubber. The bullet would likely just knock them on the ground will little damage. If they were braced, an hp supersonic FMJ might go through.

I was informed at Oliver that the aluminum bubble radiant barrier that completely wraps around the interior wall acts as a faraday cage so no need to run to the truck. However, a tree falling on the trailer will take care of all of our worries.

My fridge uses very little power and barely touches the batteries.

Etta James.

Young or old, you don't have to do it in one go.

We moved to a smaller home with much less land, 2 vehicles and no toys. In our opinion, less is more. More time, more camping and more exercise in the proper way, so waxing a trailer is just one of the ten things I must do this year. I have a diesel zero turn that knocks out the yard in 30 minutes, weed eating is down to 15, and the steaks are ready in 9 on the Blackstone. Personally, I would never spend $3000 to have my trailer polished just because I didn't want to do the work. Much better to grease the elbows and leave that money invested.
