Hi Brad, welcome to the forum. Have you looked at the cable to that point all the way from the ram to the top? It's possible it's frayed somewhere along its length and that part gets hung up on a...

They are all over now. You can even have it done online if you send the file, but I understand it can be a bit pricey. If the library doesn't have one, you might check around in town for someone who...

You don't need a HiLo supplier or service. You just need someone with a 3D printer. They are easy to print.

That's a very nice setup, Nick. I agree, knowing the state of the battery(s) is crucial if you dry camp (like we both do). My solar controller connects to a cell phone app that gives me the battery...

Me too! I heat the water for coffee on the stove, but that's about it. Otherwise, I use a camp stove and a propane grill. The trailer is for sleeping or if the weather is really bad.

Northern, I'm hardly an "expert" on this, but remind me - Didn't you reinforce that section of the side better than the original framing? I seem to recall you doing that.
