Pick up a couple of extensions as well. Seems like we always needed some more feet to follow the sun. We have been very happy with our Renogy suitcase.
Edited as I put a pic of the wrong extension cables- these are correct with the right ends- sorry
We used self adhesive on both the under side of roof and self adhesive on the geckos- 2” wide heavy duty- I’ve been in Texas for 1 week so far and they have been through thunderstorms and tornado warnings with high wind- they have held perfectly with no clips.
They are reversible with a reflective silver side- we found adding Velcro to the tops helps to secure them a little more as well. We run a strip under the front and back roof of pop up and then on both sides of Gecko and before you raise you place and Velcro in. We are happy with them. They do...
Check out One 2 Many Hobbies on you tube- he modified. My nephew is a plumber and we modified the shower to drain to the same side as sink drain- connected the two and it runs to one Barker Tote or we can add hose and run to sewer when we have full hook ups. We have same trailer as well. I will...

That's great to hear that the covers worked well and kept you comfortable in the cold weather.
Our site will be down for another day or 2 but we are still taking orders through email ([email protected]), if you can give them this information that would be much...
So we took the new Gekkos out for some chilly nights in the Sierras. The covers did their job as we saw a 8 degree difference in the covered bunk ends compared to the slide out that was not covered. The temp at night dropped to high 20’s and we felt comfortable in the bunk ends while at the...
Just a heads up to anyone looking to upgrade to Lithium- Renogy has a 30% Sale going on and you can get 100ah down at $499- $689 on different models- see attached - non affiliated to Renogy but saw the pricing so wanted to let others know
Dang- I guess it pays to be the Admin- I just spent $250 to get them- well at least there will be some good comparisons and feedback- glad they took good care of you
I just ordered 1 for each bunk end- I will let you all know the cost and if any shipping issues- we have a couple trips in November so hopefully I can report out how they fit and work
Has anyone seen these or any experience using these? New company out of Calgary- watched a few YouTube videos and look very interesting.

Going to throw this out there- those two batteries are $1400 with tax and 164lbs- and you still only get to use 150Ah - right now Renogy has a 200ah Lithium for $1100 with tax and weight is only 60lbs and you can use almost all and will charge back much faster- you can buy a lithium charger for...
Just found this on a FR Forum-
I exchanged e-mails with the Forest River Warranty Administrator about placing a rack on a HW296. Here is his direct quote from the e-mail...
"The roof can handle up to 200 lbs. of weight but it does need to be distributed to the out edge of the roof as that is...
Forest River installs Pro Rac bars on the roofs and they say 150lbs max- I used aluminum strut channel from Grainger to mount my solar panels to the racks- they sell in 10ft pieces but are much lighter than regular strut channel. They work great- I was able to run all wiring inside the channels...
We bought Carlisle Radial Trail HD 185/80 R13 on Amazon and had a local tire place put on for me- they were $65 each - the production dates were good- we have had no issues with the ride - our trailer is 3200-3400 all in and we tow at 65mph. As with most tires this size they are made in China...
