So we went and took a look at the Defender Xmr and Ranger Highlifter.
Both are well equipped,
The defender:
Pros has comfier seats
middle seat drops down for cup holders
And looks to have better traction controls.
Cons:
Only Camo Color available right now.
Net doors
The ranger HIGH...
I have a deck over enclosed. So the ramp angle sucks. I have superglides only on the ramps. 2x2 runners for track traction. Works quit well. I did have one of the runners rip off. That was from a 174 that didn't enter without any momentum. And due to the ramp angle was only touching on...
I stay dry all day. Keeps the wind well too. but the fabric itself gets cold on the trail. I think that’s due to non insulated. That’s where I’m upgrading, my mid layer.
Before this onesie I had thick jacket and bibs.
This week I was preparing for the brazeau rally.
Poor wildcat was in need of tlc. This summer was super dray and dusty. And the thing was shook apart.
Lost the bolt holes for the rear cargo box. So removed the box drilled and tapped them bigger.
Fresh diff oil and transaxle oil. Fresh oils...
Solo machine here planning to go. Hopefully tag along with someone. a few years ago we did the "redemption rally" due to the real one being cancelled, it was super wet and snowed 4" that day lol. Still a good time. Im expecting water holes again. The area has been getting some rain lately...
I have the PM4-60 amp and its overkill for my trailer. The 35A or 45A would be perfect I think. I got the 60A for the same price as the 45A so figured why not.
I will be adding the RV plug onto the outside. Currently running the cord thru the corner of the door but that is getting old fast!
Have you had any worries about leaks in your roof? We still want to camp in a couple other places once or twice a year. If we change trailers how hard is it to remove and patch the holes?
The river is right there for sure. We have about 2500ft of river front.
We have thought about a water generator. There are a couple issues I think. The water level changes dramatically. About 6" per week lowers down this summer. After a hard rainfall can go up 1' in 2 days.

Perfect responses guys!!
The main idea is to recharge the system while we are away. But at this rate the family wants to be out there more and more. So if I plan and prepare now, everything will be much easier to setup.
I've also heard really good experiences so with Renogy brand MPPT...
Back story- Our family has 10 acres along the pembina river. Remote access, no chance for any services for the foreseeable future. Over the years we have made ourselves some campsites and this year I got a large trailer that we have kept there most of this summer.
I have currently have 2 6V...
