Our 16' cargo trailer sits up on the north side of the concrete section and I have a caster for the tongue and use the garden tractor to pull it up tight to the house and put the sand pad back on while it sits. Makes it secure and I can still get in and out of the rear ramp for loading the bikes and mini-jeep.
Don't have a similar option for the travel trailer.
Greg, for wired I would assume there is another connection to get the signal into the truck? We plan to put lithium iron phosphate batteries in since there are no batteries now. Maybe a solar battery box to keep them tendered properly.
Eventually she wants some type of solar for aux power if we boondock. Maybe a generator if we need to use A/C.
Shower drain leaks and the inside/outside thermometer doesn't work. There is a softer spot in the floor up by where the window was broken. Will fix that when we replace the flooring.
A/C works, running/tail lights work. Plumbing with a hose all works. Shore power and battery power works, even with a small 12v old lawn tractor battery connected for now. Need to fill the fresh water tank to test the water pump. Water heater has a slow leak at one of the pipe fitting joints. Missing the rear brace for the awning.
It is also covered in lichen so that will be a time killer to scrape it all off. I printed a soft spatula to use to scrape the majority off.
Any ideas on getting the remainder off? They also had some velcro squares fastened on and the manual suggests naptha for the anodized aluminum to get it off. So far it has not worked very well.
She found some luxury vinyl planks on closeout. Enough to replace the floor for $50. Little dark for our tastes, but can't beat the price.
Was an estate sale so it sat next to a corn field for a few years. New tires set us back over a grand for 7 tires.
