    The same way we have ours set up now, and with me ordering all the parts..........between 8-10K.

    But that is pull out grill, 26 gallon water tank and pump, tent, and everything that is on mine.

    Went camping up in Jemez falls this weekend and got some pics of the set up. Changed a few things around and will show those tomorrow. :spy:

    By the way your trailer is looking pretty good so far. I can't wait to see it finished.

    I went cheap and got a Harbor Freight 15W panel and charge controller. But panel size and output would depend on what size battery you want to run. Which would depend on what your planning to run off it. I have a small AGM battery, about equivalent to a large motorcycle battery, but all it powers is a 3 gallon per minute water pump to feed the shower. When I add on my camp lights, tent lights, inverter and whatnot I will be stepping up to a larger one.

    Just make sure you double check the draw from your fridge on the battery prior to heading out. You need to make sure that you have enough input from the panel(s) to offset the output of the fridge. That way your fridge doesn't die overnight and mess up all your grub. The lights and compressor won't be on all the time but will still draw from the battery without a battery disconnect which I would suggest adding for use when it is stored between trips.

    So a bit of an update..........there is a good chance that this might be going up for sale at the end of this next summer. Any interest from anyone on here? It would be after the summer camping season that way next winter would be the build on the new one.

    Damn that sucks, maybe next year then... Yeah I'm going, I'm only about 6hrs away being in Denver so... :burnrubber:

    I'm actually going out the weekend before with my GF, going to camp in town though, and probably just go sight seeing... she's gotta work that whole week, so I'm looking at doing Hole in the Rock with Bob (NYCO) on Mon-wed (camping and hiking out there) then Thurs and Fri doing Lockhart Basin... GF may be back on Sat so that'll kinda dictate what trail I run.
