Got to test out the mods made last fall. Some good, some not so good.<\/p>\n

Not so good: The drawer I built turned out too cumbersome in actual use so will be removed before next trip.<\/p>\n

The good 1: Fridge setup was great. Will be looking to improve it some where fridge gets fed 12V from trailer anytime trailer is hitched up and tow vehicle not running.<\/p>\n

The good 2: Solar setup is looking good. Our norm was Engel fridge and TV\/DVD running all night with occasional vent fan use and lowest voltage observed was 12.4 in the morning before solar started to be effective again.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>
\nWhile the “basement” was still relatively empty I took this pic to show how I store the awning pieces. We made a better fitting bag out of some towel-like cloth and it lives at the front of the trailer and serves as a shelf for a few things. Makes for easy access for things like single burner camp stove , etc.<\/p>\n

Update2:
\n\"IMG_1526\"<\/a><\/strong>The original bag was a bit small so we make one from towel-like material and added a pocket at the top for the smallish pieces.<\/p>\n

These large clips are used to assemble the awning bar halves instead of the original bolt and nut scheme.<\/p>\n
