I converted all my lights (except the outside floods) to LEDs:
Added a second group 24 12V battery (can't fit anything bigger on the tongue, but will likely add sealed batteries elsewhere when I get around to adding solar & inverter):
Installed 2 additional tie-down D-rings to properly locate my Bolt-it-on tire chock bar so I can fit 2 bikes in front & 2 behind:
Lined up the bolts perfectly on the driver's side, but the passenger side bolts were driven **** close to the center of the I-beam frame, and I forgot to check under the trailer on the passenger side before drilling, so I ended up having to correct the hole/pocket with the jigsaw & re-drill 3 holes at a 1/2" offset, all of which is still hidden under the finished d-ring:
The driver's side looks good, though:
Getting ready for a week of boondocking in Death Valley @ Furnace Creek Ranch - Fiddler's Campground. My wife & I are taking the DR200SE & KLX250S to roll in backward in the front part of the cargo area, then anchor the Bolt-it-on chock bar, then heading to Sacramento to pick up my buddy's bike (maybe 2) to load behind the bar. This will be the biggest/longest trip I've taken the toy hauler on. I'm hoping to not find too many problems/deficiencies on this trip...
