    I finally got solar

    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

    Gekko Pop Out Covers

    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.

    Gekko Pop Out Covers

    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...

    Connecting shower and sink to a single sewer hookup

    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...

    Gekko Pop Out Covers

    Remove as the straps come under and the bed slide would not go back in and the bulk would most likely make it difficult to close

    Gekko Pop Out Covers

    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...

    How many amps do YOU have when boondocking? Also 12V vs 6V pros/cons?

    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...

    Roof weight capacity: 2008 Flagstaff LTD/MAC 228D

    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...

    Roof weight capacity: 2008 Flagstaff LTD/MAC 228D

    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...

    Need new tires

    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...
