My hobbies require using the trailer at lower temps. It wasn’t worth the investment to chase down a Canadian design trailer. I already had a newer 1/2 ton truck for towing And the heavy trailers needed a different tow vehicle. Everyone optimizes their camper choice at purchase. I’m just...

It’s awkward conversing about “solar by choice” when the conversants live in different worlds. Our exploratory visit to SE AZ was quite eye opening. I just fiddle with this stuff for fun.

People have different goals for their RV projects. For me, it’s just one month or less of Glamping. For others, I understand it’s their home. But my wife and I can’t live in essentially a cardboard box with the windows all blacked out like people do. Not gonna happen. My energy bill for six...

I think depending on circumstances, there’s a point of diminishing returns. In this case, because of the Azdel, aluminum frame, and foam insulation, I knew what I was getting into when I bought it. This isn’t a particularly price sensitive project. Though I do think that the flex model is over...

We leave the bath fan running and the vent cracked. My wife gives the windows a once over with a microfiber cloth and that’s about it. We use the area under the bunks as cold storage, but I’m thinking about lining them with half inch insulation but I probably won’t. We don’t live in it...

Wild! That looks exactly like what I’m doing. Even including the flip up lid on my wife’s bunk. I’ve gone with Renogy for all of the stuff, I’m only living in it a few months a year. When I went to 60 pounds of propane on the tongue, I’ve never run out of propane in less than a month. That...

I’m just duplicating the flex model layout. So there’s an outlet pair on the end of the bed, the inverter and the batteries are underneath the bank and then in my case I’m bringing the wires up the side of the trailer next to the slide and then up onto the roof. We absolutely love the 2108 TB...

I think somewhere on the site, I read, 4/0, but when I looked at a piece of it, the M8 terminals would be so tiny compared to the cable size, it seemed ridiculous. And then the 3000 W pure sine wave inverters, recommended a much smaller wire, that’s why I posted back. It didn’t seem reasonable...

Well what do you know, Winnebago came out with an off grid optimized trailer called the flex addition. They more or less decided to do exactly what I am half through doing. But I have a technical conflict that I thought I could solve here. The flex model is optimized to run the 1100 W...

No no, I get it. People get frustrated. People get tired of answering the same question over and over. it takes a person with the heart of a teacher, too continuously Guide in the best direction in the face of seemingly endless ignorance. With a new crop every time Amazon has a sale. It’s just...

So you guys don’t think newbies recoil when jumped on with both boots in reply to their first inquiry? Who wants that kind of initial experience? Guide. Don’t beat. Grow the club. I am replying to this thread for personal reasons.

I’ve been on the electronic informational forums since the early 1980s. Every information exchange for the last 40 years follows the same Pattern. Helpful contributors get tired of answering the same questions over and over, migrate through hautily demanding guests use the search function...

The big benefit of a dedicated cellular router is that they allow for external antennae. I suggest subscribing to the mobile internet resource center channel and use their recommendations.

All in. Trailer included. It is well appointed.

Thank you for the reply. My energy audit was pretty predictable. I’m not the first person to want to use a camper in cold weather. Though I must say, in reading on this site, and watching lots of YouTube videos, it appears most people just head to warmer climes rather than try to deal with...
