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?...

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.

Cheers Richard
The torsion axle is 10 years old with the rubber cords inside having lost their compressibility over time; as such, an entirely new axle is needed. Unless you jack up the trailer n storage, the axle's useful life-span is about 10 years. The upgrade will raise the clearance about 2"-thus requiring a door step.

I'm going with a suitcase solar system. That way the system need not stay with the trailer. I can take it with me, use it at home, etc.


I have 5 of these Storm Cases subsequently bought out by-wait for it-Pelican. One of which functions as a step. They are waterproof, chemical proof, pressure proof and lockable and on wheels.
