I ran two 1500 watt electric wall mounted heaters with fans off of a Honda 3000 in the truck box. I had to over fill the oil in the generator or the low oil would trip on sharp corners and shut it down. Trailer was 18' v nose and it would stay warm while driving but if it was cold it wouldn't warm up till you were stopped.

Lots of info here but only a couple pics for visual ideas. This is the bar I put in. Still setting everything else up. I am ducting my heat heat to the floor as it is always cold on the bottom foot or 2. Heat rises anyway! Also dont forget a garbage can. Sure helps in keeping the trailer clean. I have a nice aluminum one bolted to the wall.

I picked one of those cabinets up for that exact reason, but do you think I can find the cup holder...nope!! edmonton sledshow they were selling a ton of accessories, but the fella told me they were sold out of the cup dispenser, they only brought three:rolleyes:. and wouldn't sell me the one in the trailer. Oh well, hopefully the saskatoon show will have them.

Allandale has all this stuff. It is locally made and much nicer than some of the other stuff I saw at the sled show.

Good lights and brakes to pass Valemount police inspections...
Then you do not have to park the trailer to go into town to pay huge fines and towing bills.
:nono:

This happened to me out there years ago as well. Breakaway was not working on trailer that was one year old(I of course didn't know this but also could have checked it before leaving) had to dump it on side of road and tow truck driver came out with new breakaway wired it up and was then good to go after fines of course. I do understand why they do it for safety but sledders out there are a targeted cash cow and it wasn't the Valemount local cops doing these checkstops. I will call it educational as heading to Valemount I make sure my stuff is working they also don't like light bars, HID's, tinted windows and I'm sure a bunch of other things we seem to get away with in Alberta.

Redline does nice job with the company they use to router them out. Personally I like stuff that fabricated with brake press less sq /sharp corners

With parts (new 12 volt battery), fines, tow truck bill (temp lites), running stock Dodge fog lamps (when it not bad weather) and speeding it was just about $1000.
I do a check every time I pull out of the yard for all this stuff, but marker lites and tail lites seemed to have burnt out at a bad time.
I did do a Break away check with my trailer plug connected, but the break away needs to be stand alone to operate with out truck power. Replaced all my lites with LEDs.
The cop was decent, I was speeding and I learned a few things. Great weekend of snow and few breakdowns.
All in all we were good with everything in the end.

Sooooo....How much was your fine???
