    Yeah that is called the RPOD Dome I believe. We have but I don't have a pic of it. We dont usually need it. I'm 6'3 so it's tight for myself as well but works fine for us for the most part. We love it, just a place for us, pups and little one to sleep mainly and get away from severe weather lol.
    That's nice!

    Ah hell you can fix that. We're headed to the beach on Sunday. I dropped the TM off this evening for the AC, batteries, and solar. He went through his whole installation with me it's a pretty good setup I can't wait to see it working.Have fun camping btw.

    The red wire that attaches behind brake pedal does not have much slack in it ( barely reaches the plug )

    I'm going to fix it after work today, then try to get further out of the way from the range of my foot. Before moving to where we live now I had to use my parking brake daily. Hopefully not needing that everyday and moving it more out of the (I hope there is room lol) helps stop this from reoccuring.

    Can't wait to see these pics of this new setup on your build. Brake controller isn't a big deal, just annoying lol.

    2 21”x42” panels mounted on the roof on a rhino rack track system. Charge controller reports to phone via blue tooth. 2 31 series agm batteries. I’ll loose the roof basket, not that I really used it, and the Thule bars will be gone for now but he said they can be put back on if needed for kayak mounts or something in the future

    It's just a mounting kit that attaches to the frame. Nothing special. I'll get a pic of it later and add. Amazingly enough the single propane bracket from factory was over kill. I really had to grind and cut that stuff out, then clean sand and prime and paint the frame again. If I didn't tell you about it, then you would never know lol.

    Well that would be the point wouldn’t it? After a get the trailer back adding a single propane mount is one of my next goals. I’d like to be able to use one like for a grill so I could pretty much replace anywhere.

    If I had your skills, I would build a mount to secure/ store it. This would make it practical for grabbing to use for cooking food, hooking/ reconnecting for camper attachments like a furnace. This way your not chained to the trailer lol.

    Kinda what I was thinking. I’m going to look at alternative means for hot showers and it would be nice not to have to carry so many small camp bottles for the grill or anything else

    So I went in to fix the loose wire for my brake controller. It was originally dine by the dealer. Original connection was junk so I know it wouldn't last. Lines were not moved out of the way. Just lazy work. I pulled out my electric low voltage solider gun and the back of it cracked rendering it useless. The I remove the brake controller from its bracket to see a missing screw and barely holding in place. Needless to say I'll have to go back in and soldier it. Also build a bracket or relocate it. Thank goodness for zip ties lol. It's all acceptable to make it work, but not up to my standards.
