For sure, it's pretty versatile. I was a little apprehensive buying one in the first place since I don't have a lot of vital electrical gadgets that need recharged during a camping trip. Being able to use it for many things has made me feel way better about purchasing one. Jackery is the only...

i only have a jackery 240, but i've been pretty happy with it. while camping i've used it for charging phones, my drone, bluetooth speaker, small blender. i rarely drop below 85% through the whole weekend if i started out with 100%. recently, i've been using the jackery out in the garage...

window showed up this afternoon and i hauled ass to get it installed after work while the weather was still nice (it's supposed to rain the next two days). got the hole cut in the skin, then cut the hole in the insulation and plywood wall. once i got the window mocked up, i put in a piece of 1...

awesome tip on the butyl tape, i never heard of that, but makes sense and will use it. with the wall thickness, i will be real close, if not right at the 1.5 inch wall. i'm definitely seeing a huge amount of camper/rv parts seem to be a huge demand for sure. guess the van life has truly...

this is the window that i got, i plan on getting some automotive seam sealer for install. it is unavailable now, but it was around $110. i'm crossing my fingers its decent quality and if it is, i'll look into getting maybe 2 more. looks like the brand is "land camp". yesterday i measured...

i do plan on putting more windows in, but it seems like some windows are questionable at best, so i'm going to see how the one i ordered ends up being for quality and ease of install. i saw some vents that i'd like, but the ones i like are about half the cost of getting a window, so that's why...

ordered a window off amazon today, hopefully it will get here by this weekend. i'd love to have it installed before a camping trip coming up.

got the low fender moved up and changed the self tapping screws out for nuts and bolts on both sides yesterday. started getting the insulation panels cut to fit as well, gonna pick up where i left off a little later. i looked at the wiring for all the lights, and ultimately, i'm going to re-do...

got a coat of paint on the frame and wall beams. also took a closer look at the fenders while the trailer was out of the garage. so the left side is for sure installed way too low. it's about 4 inches lower than the right side. the right side is where the fender height should be, so i'll be...

floor is out, started going over the bare metal with primer and spray paint. need to cut a new piece of wood for the front of the trailer to actually seal up where the floor meets the front end cap. in one picture you can see where they actually got the self tapping screws in the cross bar to...

researching teardrops and enclosed trailers, it seems like you'd want to go bigger than the 2000 lbs dexter axle. sound like they're not very durable for off road type stuff. here's an example, skip to 11:43 for the part about the axle. good luck with your search, hopefully you find...

started pulling out the plywood walls in order to put in the insulation sheets, also looking to pull up the floor. they used philips head screws for the walls, but used LOX head screws for the flooring. i'd never heard of LOX before, so it took me about 30 minutes of searching the interwebz to...

i guess my concern with the under part aside from rust prevention on the metal is limiting water intrusion from the floor. i don't plan on trying to cross the colorado river with this, but if i go through a creek, i don't want to flood the inside of the trailer. i'm pretty "mild" with...

picked up some of the r tech white foam board insulation from home depot today to get started on insulating the walls of the trailer. had to use the trailer to get the 4' x 8' sheets and it worked out pretty nice. i also got to use the new trailer light adapter (my suv has a 7 pin plug...

good to know, i'll do a little more research and see what will work with the frame and hold up. good thing with the floor board is that it should be easy to replace every couple years and the floor isn't huge. i wonder if it would be worth putting something like tyvex on one of the sides to...

any recommendations for a durable undercoating for the frame and the floor boards? i'm planning on pulling up the floor boards to coat both sides before laying down permanent flooring.

good lookin out, forgot that the one i got last year expired.

awesome input, especially on the rigid foam. i had been thinking about the mold/mildew issue, but didn't really think about road vibrations potentially causing the soft roll insulation shifting or settling down in the wall. sounds like the rigid foam is the better option for what i want to do...

I picked up an Interstate Victory 5x8 enclosed trailer this past weekend and I'm excited to get started on this. After spending probably the better part of 2 years checking out different options and assessing if they would work for me, the last 6 months I came to the realization that an...
