Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

No worries.

As a continual work in progress, it’s a process of little upgrades on the trailer. I picked up a pair of these.
I pulled my Max Axe out from under the rear seat just to see how well it mounted.
Now I’m waiting for the shovel I ordered.

what solar panels are those?
Advocate II
It was a cheap Harbor Freight solar kit. The panels are only 15w each. I picked up it up a few years ago to see how much use I’d get from a solar setup. I’ve recently picked up a flexible 80w panel and passed the Harbor Freight kit on to a friend.

thanks they looked kind of cool almost Army like, that's why I asked

I've been looking at the harbor freight solar. How do you like the Dokia?

Haven’t had it out yet, but played around with it in the driveway. The foldable panel is much easier to handle and the output of 80w is significantly better than the 30w I got using two panels. The Harbor Freight panels I had were glass and I broke one my last trip out.

Bully Tools shovel arrived. It’s about the size I expected but it is solid as a rock. Much more stout than I expected and should last a lifetime. My Max Axe has been returned to the Jeep and the shovel is now in its place.

First, Thank you so much for your service to our country, thank you for being a bad-ass when so many are unwilling.
I love the way you are going about your trailer build, methodical as you go, while still getting off grid when you can. My opinion, you're doing it right.

I appreciate that. Sure I can be a bit of an attention whore, but I have found build threads to be very helpful and informative and am glad others see the value. It’s also a good way to look back on where I started and where I’ve come.

Any update on how well this panel is working?
Advocate II
Other than playing around in the driveway when I first got it, I haven’t been out. Hopefully next month, but definitely in May.

Thanks they are a good price point

Stop being a little baby and just go camping already.

Looks great. I'm a believer in sometimes simple is far better, less to go wrong, more durable. I started with only a frame from a trailer made to haul a fuel tank. No axle. 3500# axle that I put on, 4x6 bed. Built a box, side doors, drop tail gate and table. All flat surfaces to sit things on. A camp storage drawer for dishes and dry goods.

Nice setup. It’s good to be able to raise the tent and use an annex.

Sitting in the garage and I see how far my trailer has come...
