  1. I love it. But it is to heavy for my truck(supped up 1/2 tun). Will be selling it after my new build is complete. My build is for off road. Only problem i'm having is i'm 6'4"... So top heavy is hard to advoid on hard shell. Ty... I'm on clay. I did us a vibrator plat device.. Kinda looks like a lawnmower with a snow sled on bottom. I'm hoping that made ground solid anuf to prevent sinking.
  2. I don't see any jack pints. I'll be siting here for at least a year. And I wanted to take stress off the tires. I mainly want to know if the frame can handle all the w8 on the bumper end during blocking. The teder toder method. Right now I have it slightly lifted on 6 jack stands. 2 stabilizers that are mounted on back end/bumper area. I dowt thay are level/square. It might warp it. Thats why I want to correct it by leveling 4-6 block method.
  3. Hi all I have a 29 foot weekend worrier camp trailer. It has 2 axles. Should I block it next to tiers and/or is it safe to block it at back end of frame by bumper ? I'm trying to prevent frame warp/brake.
  4. ok.. ty I was kinda thinking that. I just need'd a second opinion.
  5. Hi Can I unplug/disconnect inverter/charger during shore line power ?
  6. I want to start traveling way north(usa). Ill be setting up a similar shower set up as the video's. I want to be super light w8. TY I spent a few hrs going thru Campervan Kevin you tubes loking for this.. I gave up. Good stuff. Would Epson salt burn eye's 😜 I live wear its cold and I have lots of fresh water(Over 80 gall tanks). I also will have to be plugged into power so i'll have live water feed. If and ween I get solar panels and wind turbine power system I will definitely be making similar set up for ween I go camping. I steal need to know if the rv will take damage from taking long showers in it every day !?
  7. I'm hopping to be very mobile. I have a big rv right now but Ill be selling it to get money for my project. I'm working on getting a small 5th wheel trailer frame and gutting a different trailer to make a small 5th wheel toy hauler. I'm hopping by making it shorter it makes a big difference in weight. I'm not having much luck yet.. Finance wiys. I want to do all my weight meshermints befor buying/modding a truck.
  8. Sounds cool.. Is there good flexible solar panels these days (fold able) ? Would bee awsum if you could give a drawing/photo of the design idea you thinking about !
  9. Hi all I was thinking about making this just with insulation board r10-20+. I defenetly need a out door room for drying laundry and I will be making a small RMH (Rocket Mass Heater) for drying. And may bey add water heating and turn it in to a shower/dry room. Or I will be upgrading my RV's bath room but I am concerned about condensation/moister/water damage. Should I be concerned about condensation/moister/water damage? I like super hot water and about 17-28 min showers. I don't have any thermometers to give you an idea other than wen I shower at house's I pretty much have the hot water max'd out. So should I shower outside or in rv for long hot shower's ?
  10. Sounds like the only option would bet to apply some kind of defrosting. LOL I might use part of a car port/tent to make a patio awning. Something with a greater slop angel.
  11. Hi all Any Idea on how a person would go about having there awning out during snow fall ? My roller keeps un rolling if I don't have awning fully extended(are all models like this or is myn broken ?). I was afraid to have 100% out du to snow w8. I try'd it for a bite but I constantly was sweeping off the snow.
  12. the wand thing is what i'm going to try first for bulk. Freeze is a few hr away now LOL
  13. No I live on a big property at the moment. But I can rebuild a engen with less 80lb of tools. Ty good idea . It will give me the frame to work with Tru. lots 😜
  14. Good. I have not used any chemical but was to spearing on water. I see a thing call'd a swizzle stick or some thing like that. I will try a wand of some sort. And if that don't work I'll try tank blaster(chemical that site's over night). Yes. I have portabul tote that I dump it in to and than compost it. I see a thing call'd a swizzle stick or some thing like that. I will try a wand of some sort. And if that don't work I'll try tank blaster(chemical that site's over night). I also saw a article stating ice cubes. And another one stating hot water.
  15. Cool ty. I'll start using more water. I wasn't peeing in it due to save space/time for dumping and I have not look'd to see what ph it does to compost. I thout every one use the tablets to reduce smell and liquify paper and clunk(pooh).
  16. The snowmobile will be parked out side during living. The videos (in my opinion) are terabul design. I can make crank down racks or cargo nets that mount to the ceiling during transporting. I might have some space on top of roof. I have not started designing it yet. I'm steal browsing to see if there is any easier way to do what I want. I have not started shopping yet. Most likely I pick up a junker to work on.
  17. Hi I have been making a compost with my black tank. After 8 months now I noticing my black tank is not emptying all the way and is getting full (clogged by toilet). Is the desolvant tablets bad for soil ?
  18. Correct I have a bigger toy hauler. I'm no going to do the renovations if I can find a smaller toy hauler with a 5th wheel hitch. I will be putting in the garage door mod. I plane on traveling/living in it 24/7. Its just me for now. I want to store/haul a snowmobile. I don't like expensive big trucks. Most likely I will be building a custom frame because my specs are almost impossible to find.
  19. There is a few small one but not with a 5th wheel. The smallest bumper hauling I have seen is 18 feet. I don't know whats standard for measuring 5th wheel hitch that's why I was unclear on my lengths. I live way in the boony's. most civilization is half a day + away. I saw these . thay r ok but if there wer a 5th the bead could be above the 5th wheel hitch
  20. Is the length bumper to the over hing(over truck bed) ? I'm trying to go small. I like 1/4 ton truck's so I'm thinking I can get a 5th wheel set up and have beader chance of using a 1/2 ton mod'd truck. I'm seeing I might have to make my own toy hauler frame to get one light, small tall and with a 5th wheel. LOL fire up the tig. I'm thinking 5 feet less. It just needs to haul a snowmobile. ops.. I forgot to post that I want it to be a toy hauler. I might have to go with a bigger truck.
  21. If a person had a 16-18 ft 5th wheel toy hauler (i cant find any) does the 5th will make that much of a difference on smaller trailers ? I would like to tow with a 1/2 tun truck. I could always mod the truck to handle more load. I like small truck's.
  22. ty . I'l try insulated curtains. the heat pump is cool. I'l be setting up a micro wind turbine and collapsible A frame roof/solar panels. I have a lot of electronics. yes last season I had to constantly towel down every thing around windows. This time I have a bunch of that silicon tubs. I don't want to go with a dehumidifier if I don't have too. True. I might go with a small/lighter trailer. Or ill have to figure out how drop some weight. I have no experience in hauling trailers.
  23. TY ALL for you'r responses. Ok so I'm skipping the sky light idea. My toy-hauler dos't have a divider in between kitchen and garage. I use the garage as a man-cave/office. This is similar too what I'm wanting. Its definitely going to be a DIY(home made). Should I go with supper thick plexi glass wall or the thickest multi pane glass on a frinch door set up to suport/prevent glass from braking ? A sliding glass door could work. I would just have to make small ramps for the inch lift from the sliding tray framework. Wen I save up more money I might look in too upgrading my windows pane. But my ceilings are pretty high. One of the things I love about it due to me being to tall. So I might just set up solar power and use heaters. TY all for your time an interest
