It would be great to hear a report on any difference you have seen between using a pair of 12s verses a pair of 6s!

Yup, shackle at one end of the equalizer.

I had upgraded shackles installed. The shop I had it done at said that most manufacturers don't do triple axles correctly. The middle axle had shackles at both ends and can allow the axle to move forward and back. Now I have heavy duty shackles and the center axle stays put.

Fine job! It looks like you can go 50"!

Getting ready for the weekend trip (maden voyage for trailer and first time towing heavy with new truck, cant wait!). We pulled the tv that came in it and removed the shelves next to original and installed a 42" flatscreen. We bought it last fall and modding has now officially begun.

The hdtv came from our old trailer it was a few inches too wide to fit.

Began installing solar system. Ran #2 welding cable down frig vent and hooked up Tristar ts-45 to battery power. Tested CC data output to laptop and all ok. Installed Trimetric 2025RV. It's working but the data output is not? More work on that part. It is reading both battery banks. One for the house batteries the other for the tongue jack. Next step is to install two 100 watt panels on the roof need to fab some mounting hardware first. I think I want to be able to tilt them.

1. Cleaned awning
2. Installed new Stereo (NOW I HAVE NO POWER GOING TO THE STEREO POWER WAS THERE BEFORE INSTALL PLEASE HELP)
3. Installed new battery
4. Turned on refrigerator
5. Tried to turn on water heater but was unable to light it.

Converted to 6 volt batteries(Sams Club), wired and installed my new Atwood Power jack 3500 and put up a bungie net above the cabinets
