Dang fires are a dire reality in the dry west. Hugh have you closed on your house yet? That will be a relief I'm sure.

Crowbob, liking that little trailer, and your plans to get set up for boondocking.
Have you looked into a kit to drop your axel/ raise the trailer over the axel for more ground clearance?

Red, as to solar for RVing, what makes sense to me is a quick disconnect mount system to be able to mount the panels on the roof, then easily remove them when parked in the shade to deploy out in the sun. This solves the storage issue while traveling then let's them charge when parked. I realy try to park in shade when ever possible, making roof mounted panels in affective.

Zamp makes some nice suitcase panel set ups for putting out in the sun while parked, but then they have to be stored someplace when not in use.
