    Wired up everything but the solar today.
    Remote box for inside the tent works.
    Lights on trailer are hard wired and work great, better than I expected.
    Inverter works, but complains about the batter level...
    Batteries are charging. Apparently they were low AF.

    No worries.
    Most people wouldn’t know what it is, nor why it’s out of place. :thumbsup:

    Mine too!
    Or was until very recently; now I tell other machinists how to do their job.
    ... Not management, moved into engineering.

    That electrical work is clean. Looks good. One of my favorite add-ons when I built mine was a pair of cheap Amazon 4" LED flood lights slightly angled off the back and wired to my reverse lights. It's something I wouldn't have thought of if I hadn't see one online. After getting in and out of a couple tight camping spots after dark, by far the best $40 addition to mine.

    I’ll need to do that eventually. Wouldn’t be hard at all with the way the wiring is setup; the junction box for all the trailer lights is under the toolbox, and I can use a relay to get more power from the batteries for the reverse lights vs just pulling power from the harness alone.

    Mrs. really likes the new setup; especially not having to inflate sleeping pads or unpack a sleeping bag.

    But! See how tall that brick is? 8.5 MPG, baby.
    Might need to lower it, or something. Not sure. It’s tall.

    Wonder if you could make an attachment for the front that would shoot the air up over it.....
    Help somewhat with the aerodynamics....

    Yes sir. Should be comfortable to live out of, too.
    Thought about that. Basically an air damn like semi trucks have. Also considered a way to raise/lower it.

    I vote for lowering it. It think it will look a bit more symmetrical.

    ...of course this will make it black bear accessible...
