    No Boundaries - New trailer by Forest River

    As far a defects go, I have had mine out for a few moderate off-road trips and have not had much issues. My first trip I did have some inside stuff rattle loose. I later found out they sold me the trailer with 70psi in the tires. Forest River sent out a bulletin warning not to fill past 45psi...

    There are a lot of great spots in Alberta along the forestry trunk rode. I'm sure you were looking for more spots along the way from Texas to Alberta. I would like to hear how you make out though, I may be doing the reverse trip in spring and would like to hit some remote camp spots.

    No Boundaries - New trailer by Forest River

    Hey Grubworm, sounds like you have done some good mods. I was thinking of doing something about the cheap underbelly plastic sheet and shortening that long water hose for emptying the tank. Can you post some pictures of the sheet metal mod you did?

I want to see how much juice I’m bring in from Solar or DC from the truck as well as usage. The Solar may be enough but being far more north than you I...

    Trailer electrical box ideas

    That gives me a lot of great information. A couple more questions, 1) In your set up, how do you measure % usage, do you have a volt meter, or something to show current charge\draw? 2) when you say "never dropped below 15%", is that 15% usage (85% left), or 85% usage (15% left). I'm worried as...

    Trailer electrical box ideas

    Nice work!! Looks nice and clean. Have you considered a DC-DC charger? I may very well have trips of mostly driving during the day with little time to put out panels. A week of poor weather would also require a good charge from the Truck. How are those panels working for you?

    The Trick to staying warm in the real cold is to stay dry, Don't over insulate or the moisture will be far worse. Next layer up, have the ability to add otf take off layers. If its windy, have a good shell, but if your moving, make sure it can breath. Handwarmers in your gloves can be a saver if...
