  1. My cows always peed in the pond while drinking their fill.
  2. Congratulations. My wife and I are coming up on 10.
  3. We have a lot of mud daubers here in Texas and this was my very first thought when you talked about that noise. I hate those things.
  4. I have the Truma Aventa Eco in my LE2. I believe it is a 13.5 btu unit. It seems to drop the temperature down from mid 90s within about 10 minutes or less and that is in full sun. A smaller unit should be able to handle it, but it will run longer. On the flip side, an AC unit that runs for a longer amount of time will remove more humidity, so if you live in northern climates with cooler temps and higher humidity, a smaller unit is the right way to go in my opinion.
  5. I just bought a Blackstone 22 for my upcoming adventures. Would you mind sharing a photo or two of the rack you built to your slide?
  6. I just hope it gets out there soon enough to prevent someone from having a bad day.
  7. Those Cyber Trucks look cool to me, but not sure if I want to shell out 100k for something that only goes 340 miles before needing 17 hours to recharge.
  8. I agree that the solar panel is a real drag.
  9. I walk around my trailer twice before moving it. Double check everything.
  10. Gotta be able to pull it with my truck....
  11. 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.
  12. Certainly. Pull forward on light housing: Ignore bulb and remove electrical connection at back:
  13. This is exactly what I've been telling my wife all these years.
  14. 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.
  15. I disconnect the light.
  16. Won't be so bad in the morning if you'd cut back on the jolly juice.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I doubt very seriously it will ever be a problem but better safe than a statistic.
  20. Only one way to find out.
  21. Proper use of aluminum
  22. Yes but I'm afraid I might cry myself to death afterwards.
