What features do you already have on the trailer? The most recent "amazing" modification I did was to convert my AC to run off a standard HVAC thermostat so I didn't have to run the AC 24/7. That was a complete custom job but if you are electrically handy its not very difficult (Id say 3 of 5 if...

Sorry if I was possibly misleading in my post; I will be charging every morning/afternoon between usage of the heater at night. The heater itself has a max draw of 7.5 amps which will NOT be on all night long (on/off control via thermostat). I have picked out two 100 aH batteries I will parallel...

Don't know if this helps or not but if this is your FIRST time using your 7-pin connector (at least for my Ford F150) the fuse and relay for trailer charging was factory NOT installed and required me to actually put them in to get it working. I had the truck for 4 years with a random fuse and...

We are going into the mountains late next week and I am wanting to take a quite generator with me to charge the batteries in the day/evening. I have personally seen the super quite Hondas that is 100% what I am looking for except for the price. My buddy told me about the WEN generator and said...

Hey guys, hope all is well. We are rounding up the first season on our travel trailer. It was amazing. We are going into the mountains end of next week and will be mini-boondocking. We have not had to rely much on the Camping World supplied battery but what I can tell you is that it is dead...

If it is freezing up then first check aiiflow across everything. If its not that the thermostat might be broken or it might be getting low on refrigerant

Although my payload is nothing like a larger truck, I do think it is In bounds of this trailer. I found out when I got home I had 3/4 a tank of fresh water and honesty there was more than enough pickup left in this truck. Now, to be equally depressing my wife?s Nissan Pathfinder has a payload...

Anybody ever use this? Looks like I can purchase a SIM card to get data in my trailer. Does anybody have any stories about using it? What it?s good for? Etc? I don?t expect it to do anything my phone doesn?t do .

I was just wondering where you go to dump your gray and black tanks if you were at somewhere like a site with electric only (no sewer). What do you do with your waste and where do you put it ?

You should NOT have both campground power and your solar plugged up at once. The inverter in your camper is going to charge your batteries while on camp power. The solar charger is doing the same thing. The inverter and solar charger are probably not working nice together and you should only use...

Averaged about 8.5 over about 1.5 hrs and about 65 mph. Hell I average 13.5 without any load lol

My only comment is towing it from wherever you buy it to your house put a battery on and test the emergency brake system. It requires 12VDC to operate. This obviously is a worst case scenario but something at least worth thinking about. During the haul home you should install a battery for that...

If you want some tech help let me know. I would be interested I helping you find parts if you have time to test it out. I am a controls engineer by trade so finding a proper relay and wiring are right up my alley :)

Thanks for the feedback guys. Looking back I guess it is a dumb question. MSRP is $27,850. We put about 2.5k down; although we can pay the thing in cash, we JUST paid down in full my student loans and truck. I am wanting to take a break from giving away all my cash... I can float the monthly...

I think I might of just seen your twin yesterday at the dealership! He was returning a 13k lb trailer due to being too big/heavy for his F150 :) My advice as owning a F150 eco is this: -I just towed ~5000 lbs back from the dealership almost effortlessly. I was able to maintain highway speed up...
