Got the fuse box /battery monitor installed today. Still have to put wiremold out the top for light wiring but got the cig lighter/power pole and furnace wired.

15 degrees outside this morning after an epic (for Sedona, that is) day of snow yesterday.

I never did show the potty solution. The cabinet is attached to the floor, the riser and potty are removable for use outside. It is the same height as a normal household toilet.

This trailer is pretty impressive! Almost good enough to call a full time home!

Another detail I have not included yet. The solar panel set up. It is enclosed in a clam shell which protects it while in transit. It folds open to allow tilting and moving to follow the sun as it moves in the sky. I feel this much better than a permanent mount as I can park just about anywhere as long as it is within about 20' of a sunny spot.:

The trailer weighs 2980 lbs.

 

[libarata]

Not a bad weight for what you have.

 

[verdesardog]

my estimate of about 3K was right on!

 

[libarata]

I expect another 250ish pounds when you install the sauna. Whats next on the mod hit parade?

 

[verdesardog]

Just one more cabinet by the back door. One drawer and a door below. I also want to get a nice fire ext. holder.

 

[libarata]

Just 'one more', eh?

 

[verdesardog]

Just 'one more', eh?

no more room for anything else ...LOL

I do need a convenient place or toiletry items.

I took the trailer out Friday night. Stage Stop near Sedona. Our search and rescue posse did line search training on Saturday:

I have another deep cycle battery that I'm going to add. The one night I had it out seemed like one battery was just barely enough. Its weird though sometimes he furnace blower motor would speed up like it got an extra helping of electrons. The battery voltage did get to 11 volts but was back over 12 after not using the heater for a while. So I'll have 110amp hours of battery if they are good batteries. I only have a 60wtt solar to keep them topped off. I'll have to keep following the sun throughout the day if I want the solar to do any good.

 

[libarata]

An extra battery would sure help. Could you add another small panel to help keep em full?

I'll just have to make due with what I have for a while. I do have a small generator for emergencies. I wish I could find a small, inexpensive diesel generator since my truck runs on diesel.

You mean, a unicorn? Stop being racist.

They are out there... last September at the Marine Corps Expo (MDM) I chatted with a vendor who provided quiet, light-weight generator solutions (think small Honda sized generators) which ran off of DF2. I pressed the case for the recreational market but their production was consumed by the government market. You never know...

The last cabinet is done. Now I'm waiting on lighting supplies. A four relay remote switch and dimmers. I have the LED strips, I was going to put 3 inside but found that only one is enough. I will put two, one with just witch and one with a dimmer. The outside under the awning waterproof LED strip will be controlled by the remote and have a dimmer also.
