I would love to exchange notes and thoughts. The Ascape being the biggest camping type trailer I have towed I’m currently trying to pin down tire pressure and weigh distribution so that I can arrive at my campsite without the contents of cupboards and fridge having been rearranged by bounce/gravity. I’m wondering what other owners […]
Tweaking my Aliner Ascape
The Ascape grew only in the most important areas over the ProLite Suite. The Suite was an excellent way for us to get back into RV’ing after selling our GMC Motorhome. It proved that we were able to go traveling/camping without having to lug a big trailer around. The Suite was basically our Bed on […]
Swapped to Volvo for Tow Vehicle.
Switched to the ’18 Volvo XC60. Was looking for a bit more Tech and the Volvo delivered. I expect this one will last a while. Has latest tech and was able to install a truly hidden hitch, manufactured by Stealth Hitches Click here for hitch related images
Dash Cam added
Click here for more pics. Have to proceed with caution to make sure electronics in the pod are not affected by what’s added to windshield. Have also added a camera in the grill, just above the Volvo front camera.
Added HUD to SantaFe Tow Vehicle
Added a Navdy Head Up Display. Love it. Unfortunately the company failed and declared bankruptcy. Got me started on HUD though so new Tow Vehicle has HUD.
Readying SantaFe Tow Vehicle
Not totally new but rather just a bit refreshed with new Tech and stuff. New colour of course. Currently in the process of adapting 7 pin, slightly different than previous as I have more solar available.
Got over the TWO-FOOT-itis
We looked at a Prolite Plus-S as a possible replacement but after consideration and judging actual usage we decided to stay with our Suite. Some of the primary reasons in favour of the Suite where the size itself, easy to man-handle as needed, heavily modified to make it self-sufficient with reference to solar/power installation, etc. […]
TWO-FOOT-itis rearing its ugly head. ProLite Suite DeLuxe may be for sale.
I am considering a bit of an upgrade, from 700 lbs to 1250 lbs of towing weight. No decision yet, but if you are interested in our ProLite please drop me an email at bytedesigns-@-icloud.com. (Please remove the dashes around the @). Well, two years later two-foot-itis came back. This time there was an acceptable […]
A Close Call
One of the hazards of driving in BC. Thanks to good brakes on tow vehicle and trailer nothing was hurt. Heart rate went up a bit but settled back down quickly.
One Last Trip before Winter sets in.
Did a 10 day loop into Alberta. Did some family visiting in Edmonton and then took the long way home via Dinosaur Provincial Park and the Crowsnet Pass. Encountered some near freezing temperatures in Edmonton but stayed very comfortable by simply plugging our 200 watt electric heater in for an hour or so before retiring […]
