  1. Gonna be difficult to move @ 308 lbs. https://eg4electronics.com/backend/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/EG4-14.3kWh-PowerPro-WallMount-AW-Spec-Sheet.pdf
  2. For $3,800+ installation and taxes it's a big investment.
  3. When you look at the trailer it has what was called a "suicide door", hinged on the aft side.. When it came open the wind over-powered her and pulled her out. I suspect, since they were en-route to somewhere to watch the eclipse, there were more people than seats in the tow vehicle. This is a very tragic accident the driver will never forget. In Indiana the driver is responsible for the safety of all passengers. For instance if the vehicle is pulled over and a passenger is not wearing a seat-belt, the driver is ticketed. Likewise with people riding in a truck-bed, driver is ticketed. As to Airstream design; when you look at their website, some are hinged on the forward side, some aft. It depends on floorplan and awning arm positioning. The Airstream involved has an awning arm beside the door so close if the door had hinges on the forward side the door would hit the awning arm. I do suspect a design change in the Airstream future.
  4. The Dexter Axle recommendation to repack and inspect wheel bearing annually or at 12,000 miles is a preventative measure to make sure slightly damaged bearings are caught before having an expensive failure that might also ruin the spindle, cause an accident or complete loss of a wheel. I lost a wheel from a flat-bed trailer while hauling a tractor due to neglecting that recommendation. the job is not difficult, just messy-bit that's why vinyl mechanics gloves are sold.
  5. I only use a wye when staying long-term. Every wye I have said drinking water safe on the tag, even the brass 5 hookup wye I bought for use at a rodeo grounds CG with once central spigot for every 20 spaces. Then other campers would use their wye on the end of their hose to feed another camper. If everyone did that, 25 campers had access to water from that one hydrant to re-fill their fresh water tank. The CG had a honey-dipper to empty waste tanks.
  6. With an advertised hitch weight of 1,165lbs., that trailer weight is right at the maximum for a ½T pickup. Play around with this towing calculator to see the maximums. https://towengine.com/towing-capacity-calculator/
  7. Please read the 3-way fridge installation manual before proceeding: https://norcold.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IM_N7V_N7X_N7LX_N8V_N8X_N8LX_639300F_20200401.pdf When operating in the propane mode, chimney temperatures will easily reach 350°F, proper venting is essential.
  8. Yep, Lippert says they depend on the TT manufacturers chassis to augment their frames.
  9. This is the correct forum: https://www.rvnetwork.com/forum/25-rvs-tows-and-toads-for-sale/ Your add will receive many more views in that forum.
  10. Wrong forum, you'll have more views in RV's for sale.
  11. All of the 3 heating methods require a chimney to cool the heat transfer coils on an absorption refrigerator. This limits your choice to a strictly DC residential-type fridge, as Glenn suggested.

    Myth Busters

    That's the first I ever saw a spark plug added there. When I was in high school I had a spark plug in my cars tail-pipe, let off the gas and flip the switch, KaBOOM. One guy put it in the exhaust pipe and blew his muffler off.
  13. I would avoid the border crossing hassle and vehicle insurance costs and reserve a site in Texas directly in the path of the blue line. https://www.traveltexas.com/things-to-do/outdoor-adventure/great-texas-eclipse/#:~:text=If you're planning on,entertainment%2C lodging and dining options. The path of totality in MX is in the state of Sinaloa, which is Mexico's most crime-ridden state. This website is recommended for tracking cloud cover on eclipse day. https://eclipsophile.com/eclipse-day-weather/
