Took some better pics yesterday. As you can see it's a touch higher than the jacks.
Also went to my battery's in and had to get rid of some paper thin angle iron. Don't think my batteries would have made it very far.

300 watts of Solar has been my fav mod. Now our only limiting factor for dry camping is the smallish water tank but I can fill it from 6 gallon jugs if needed. If I anticipate a trip longer than 10 days I might look for a 20-25 gallon water tank for the back of the truck.

Tank for the back of the truck works awesome. I have mine hooked up with a 12v Rv pressure pump.

Solar system at 265w and we are good to go. And if there is a Sani dump in the area........

I like the idea of an extra water tank. My trailer doesn't have the largest and with two kids it gets used up pretty quick.
How many gallons is that one?
Quad rack looks slick too.

The tank is 33 gallons so it fills the trailer tank. There is enough pressure with the pump that I can wash the quad with a spray nozzle or have mobile water fights lol. You can usually find used Rv water tanks in kijiji from parted out units pretty cheap. I picked up the tank for $35 and the pump for $50. A few plumbing fittings and your good to go. Make sure you have a vent or take the lid off the tank or the suction will collapse the tank.
The quad ramp works great and I can close the tail gate. It was custom designed and built. You can buy them now.

if you can't find a used tank, ufa has a 50 gallon for $100+/- looks something like a bread loaf, just another option, i didn't even l think about a used rv water tank!

Thanks fellas. Great ideas.

I'm looking for ideas for a screen door on my side door of my enclosed trailer? Anyone?

Does your trailer have radius (round corner) door our the square corner - rectangular door? I might have a used radius one kicking around. You can text or call me at 780-970-4940.

Those Magic Screens work great for RV's. Our dogs can go in and out easily when they want to head to bed, I am sure kids can figure it out as well lol

I think you can order them online or pick them up at one of those As Seen on TV stores for $25

Great set up! My dealer told me it costs $65 extra to put electric jack on trailer at factory!!! I asked why they are not on everyone? He said it all adds up!
I said here's $65 ... give me that jack so I can beat you with it for not putting it on every trailer!!!!

Bought this the other day! Works awesome, tweaked it up to 55lbs from 40 with the old regulator ...waaaay better in the trailer now! Even thou it says 100psi max on my trailer I don't think I'll go that high.
