    LOWES trailer conversion...DONE!

    THIS was a challenge. In hindsight, it would have been easier to simply sell this trailer and build a "square" one from scratch. There was no one 90 degree angle anywhere on this trailer. Every piece I added had to be hand fitted to try and get it even close back to square! But I think it came...

    Lowes trailer upgrade

Lots of options but I went with these The trailer conversion was extremely difficult as there was not a square angle anywhere! Seems every piece I installed had to be...

    Another Lowe’s trail build !

    I would have the axle cut and widened. Not a big job if you can weld. Or buy another axle the proper width. But I still don't advise wheel spacers unless the offset of the wheel maintains the same center relationship to the hub.

    Camp Shower (Merged)

    Over the past 40 years I've used everything you could imagine to take a warm shower while boondocking. Now that I'm using a RTT mounted on a small trailer or on the cap of my truck, I can step up my game a bit. I built a solar charged "battery box" to run a "Pump Box" i built and use a Eccotemp...

    Aux battery

    No, these units will not. But they now have one that will. But it is so successful that they are always out of stock on it. Here is a great user video on it. This guy, Will Prowse, is the best there is on youtube about solar.

    Best way to charge my trailer battery with current setup?

    I'm installing the Renogy DC to DC charger and I'm running 2ga wire for both hot and ground from battery which is 25' away. I talked to Renogy and that was minimum gauge required for their 40amp charger. No way on Gods earth would 10 or 12g wire be big enough they said.
