Re: Solar wiring route?
In my last trailer I dropped it over the side and used plastic wiring channel which I stuck to the side. This went all the down and then I went up through the bottom with the existing holes for the battery cutoff switch. It looked good and you could do the same right beside the awning. This eliminated any Dicor or Eternabond and didn't need a drip loop as the water would go straight down anyways.497Views0likes0CommentsRe: Can of foam---where to spray?
Where my water connections came into the trailer to the water pump and then through the floor to the tank, it came through the wall through a very flimsy plastic insert. Normally this was OK but as it got colder and if the water was cold it would condense. I fixed this by spraying foam on the inside of the plastic insert and no more problems. It might work for you as well.269Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing MPG
I agree with most here. I have an ecoboost and at 100 KPH, the mileage is around 21 l/100km. At 115 KPH, it goes to 26 l/100km. My trailer is around 7500 lbs wet. I wouldn't tow heavier and I am at 3/4 of the rated capacity. It works well but any heavier, I would move up. FYI, if you are towing, forget about gas mileage. You are towing a sail and that's just the way it is. After a certain speed, it doesn't make a **** bit of difference what truck is towing it, wind resistance will take over.388Views0likes0CommentsRe: Too Much?
I have seen this issue lots. Many people say that the higher rated bars will damage the trailer yet not once, at all, has anyone ever reported back saying there is damage. So I believe the only thing that changes is a rougher ride. I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy your setup! Great grab for free! Ryan249Views0likes0Comments
