It is well made and once you get the hang of it, it is easy to put up. It is so nice to have an enclosed area for privacy, bug protection, to take off and store rain coats and just stash extra gear.
Good catch on differences in photo, the shower pan also looks different in the two photos. What you are seeing as dirt or dirty toilet in one of the photos, is video noise in the underexposed parts of the shot, creating a dirty grain like look. cheers
AAA originating in some states will cover trailer towing...this sometimes is called the Plus RV plan. But you’ll need to confirm whether or not a plan of that type is offered in your domicile state, since not all clubs offer it. If it is available to you, my understanding is that the coverage is nationwide. Good Sam club offers roadside assistance for RVs, as does Escapees RV club. Your trailer insurance also may cover this situation.
Worst case, I’d pay for it out of pocket, which isn’t ideal, but better than abandoning the trailer by the side of the road.
@MyBrotherGodzilla The photo you provided is of a model without the bathroom. Models with the bath have interior walls that are hollow, and that’s where the wires in morey000’s post are routed. None of the exterior walls are hollow; like the roof (and the floor on newer models), the exterior walls are laminated sandwich construction. Your solar wires could be run through cabinets, or down the inside wall and hidden with a cable cover of some sort. Alternatively, if you have a non clamshell, some people have run it through the plastic trim outside.
It’s helpful for everyone if you specify your year and model when posting, since there are changes to each model and year that might influence your options for modifying your trailer. Most of us put this in the signature section of our profiles so it appears on every post, but you can also just add this info to your posts as needed.
I keep reading periodically, that the NuCamp only does a partial glycol exchange. I had my glycol exchanged at NuCamp for the second time in December. Per Austin, NuCamp does not do a partial exchange. NuCamp uses the pump and does a full exchange.
Wow...no idea this post would generate this level of negativity.
I get information from all manner of sources and make it a habit to not discount anyone's opinion out of hand. Was their article up to Woodward and Bernstein caliber...no. Did it contain some information some folks may find useful, I'd believe it may...,which was my motivation for posting it in the first place.
We're all entitled to our opinions. As I stated above, take from it what you will...or not.
@ Oyaji, the first step is to use as little battery power as possible. Luci lights are solar powered abc they illuminate the inside I’ve your [email protected] quite well in the evening and early morning. Another solar source would be outside solar pathway lights used inside. Just recharge then outside every day.
Use the water pump sparingly. Leave it off when you’re not using it.
At night, use the night time Alde heating feature. Set the thermostat low (I choose 60* to 62* at night, 68* to 70* during the day) because the Alde does use some battery power, not much, but it does need a spark to start on propane at night or during the day.
Someone mentioned use a sleeping bag at night. I have my own sleeping bag and the dogs have theirs. Get up in the morning, stuff the bags back in their stuff sack, put them behind the sofa and it’s quick from sleeping to being ready for those zombies who want to look at your [email protected] (maybe not so much with Covid around).
Each time you flip a switch, do you really need it? While Boondocking, do you really need the outside light on all night?
I charge 12V charging blocks during the day, and I charge my phone and other electronics at night using the charging blocks, not 12V from the battery.
