Next project is to get an accurate weight of the Ascape, including side to side comparison. Have acquired a set of scales that will help.

Using Ioniq 5 as Tow Vehicle
I’ve added the Hyundai hitch setup for my Ioniq 5 and am now good to tow, sort of. The big concern is reduced range. Not like a gasoline powered car that can fill up almost anywhere. Charging stations are still far and few between. The problem is not that of finding a station but that […]
Christmas came early
Took delivery January 19, 2022. Delightful drive home. Hoping to use the Ioniq 5 as tow vehicle for the Ascape on occasion.
Ascape Trip July 2019
Placeholder. Sorry for the long silence. Maybe I’ll get some time soon.
Experimenting with hitch weight.
UPDATE-4: Loaded for first trip of the season. On hitch: 1785 lbs. Trailer loaded for travel: 2050 lbs. Resulting hitch weight: 265 lbs. UPDATE-3: After changing battery and solar, etc., etc. I’m at 292 lbs. on the hitch. Not quite actual camping configuration but I think I have it real close. Hope to confirm next trip […]
Changing Table setup to a Lagun Table Leg
The table leg was one of the things I was just living with. Thanks to a post on Facebook I came across the Lagun Table Leg. Easy install and much more practical and comfortable. The floor repair was a bit challenging. The worst part was trimming the floor covering back to level as it […]
The Power Station in the Bench. Last edit: Oct. 15/21
Still some tweaking now and then but basically my Power Station is done. I knew that I wanted less dependency on Hydro, yet not loose the conveniences of power. When I started I wasn’t sure what I’d be doing yet, it was kinda ‘design on the go’. I knew that I wanted more power […]
Adding more Solar Power – Last Updated Feb 15, 2019.
My Ascape came with a 40 watt panel and associated controller. I’ve already upgraded battery to 2 x 100 AH Lithiums, located inside. Next on the list was to increase solar power to feed the batteries. The panels I decided to add are from Global Solar. I ordered from the parts department at Safari Condo. They […]
How I ended up with a Lithium battery.
Preface: It all started by trying to get my Aliner Ascape to ride as smooth as possible. After some research and forum postings/replies I adjusted tire pressure to actual weight instead of just going by what it says on the tire sidewall, which is what I was told to do. That advice turned out to […]
Some tweaks to the living space of our Ascape.
Trailer still a bit messy as it’s still a work-in-progress. We decided to go twin beds. Getting on in years and this makes getting up during the night a lot easier. We also added the foam mattress we had in the ProLite to give a bit extra comfort. We extended the “bed” by 4 inches […]
