Sorry, Mike - I was NOT calling you a liar!

I'm just puzzled, because I KNOW a bit about solar panels and can't understand how a single 22 Watt panel can generate that much voltage.

And, I...

Sorry, Mike - the picture is too blurry for me to make out anything. However, I agree that 50V is much too high for the open circuit voltage of a single solar panel. Mine put out about 21.5V, which...

You DO need a charge controller, Mike. For safe charging, you should see no more than about 14.5V on a battery with low charge. And, when it reaches full charge, the voltage should drop to a bit over...

That tire inflator is not junk, but it WILL be slow. I travel with a 117V inflator that I plug into my generator if I need to inflate a tire. It is much faster and will handle the higher tire...

Great work Mike! Personally, I'd ditch the halogens and stick with LEDs. Much more light per Watt of power consumed.

Mike, I think sinks are "porcelain" coated. And, when I wanted to have a porcelain covered thing refinished about 20 years ago, I found there was no way to do it that way. I had to settle for a...

Yes, I'd try to apply the caulk/Buytl between the bracket and the outside wall of the trailer. That way, it should be forced into any openings, including the screw holes when you tighten things back...

Maybe if you loosen the mounting bracket and then squeeze in Lexel or even but Butyl behind it, it would fill any entry point and make it watertight.

I can't imagine your leak is huge, so if you...

So, I'm guessing the garage weatherstrip is attached along the bottom edge of the top, not along the inside near the bottom of the top where the bulb seal was?

On my trailer, there is a metal...

Yes, I believe I understand. You replaced the bulb seal with a blade style seal. As long as it meets the lip on the top of the lower half, when the top is up, I don't see why that would not work.

I'm no where near that state, SAM. In fact, today, I don't feel any problem at all. However, I AM sensitive to things that go wrong in my body and will have things taken care of if they get worse.

The left side still looks lower to me than the right, but does the bulb seal meet all the way around? That's what you want to happen, regardless of how things "look".

I don't have your difficulties, but at 76 yrs old, they're starting to creep up on me. I suspect I'm going to have to get a hernia repaired soon, and not looking forward to...

Just a thought - I think I'd change the tires with the top lowered. Having the top up raises the center of gravity and makes the trailer more susceptible to tipping over. Also, I suspect having that...

You don't have any wheel well openings. I can see how that makes changing tires difficult.

Agree with Garry. I suspect if one goes, the others are not far behind. They're all subjected to the same environment/stress and have all probably had the same level of non-care.

Looks good, maestro! Unless you plan to travel with the trailer, you can certainly wait on tire replacement.

Certainly can't beat the cost of modifications you've put into it so far!...
