B-D RV Battery Lock: http://www.b-drvbatterylock.com/   Even though I/we have never ever had an issue with a battery "walking away" in the 15+ years that we have been trailer camping I have been intrigued whenever I would see this simple battery...

You are so lucky that your battery tray is that far away from the coach. I had arm strong the bracket, and modify the battery box. Now tell the brand name of your battery box, because the ones that I got do not fit very well with the bracket.

Jeff, it looks good, and nice write-up. It seems to fit the contours of the battery box just right. Did you have to bend the bracket, or did it come that way? Bruce

Thanks Bruce. The bracket is bent that way. It's a perfect fit around the battery tray & battery box. There is no way that I could bend the bracket without destroying it. It is very beefy.

I called B-D and pulled the pity trick and they gave me 10% off a new set. As it happens, I put on a replacement battery box cover this weekend, and replaced the OEM...

This box - http://www.attwoodmarine.com/s...y-Box-Power-Guard-27 With this lockable bracket - http://www.b-drvbatterylock.com/balocl.html

Attwood powerguard 27 box inside dimensions: 13 7/8 x 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 = 13.875 x 7.25 x 10 .5 Trojan 30XHS dimensions: 13.94 x 6.75 x 10.09 According to specs it doent fit lengthwise! Does it indeed slide in and out without a problem?

HAMSTERS!!!!! Great install report, Mike! Nice to see the new-generation 1575 has a wide battery bracket/tray to accommodate Torklift's PAS box. Much simpler to deal with than our first-gen. 1985!!! [slightly too narrow and close to the nose - req'ing any of several less simple options - see here: Torklift's New Power Armor Solar Battery Box ]. Still curious how and whether these PASes will fit onto the tongues of the other new-gen. Lances, what with the recessed battery tray under the new...

Thanks Randy. I don't think the fact that yours are tight with no load is an issue as you need to lift the rear end a bit (with a floor jack, curb, TT's tongue jack, ...) to engage & disengage the StableLoads before & after towing anyway. Though you might find when installing the first StableLoad that just 2 (or 1) wedges is better for your truck. However, the bracket does seem like an issue - not only because of its location, but also if it is wrapped around all of the springs. I'm...

Jeff, the overload spring is the one with the tapered ends and is not inside the spring bracket. At least it appears to be the overload spring. Again, that leaf is super thick.

I won a Power Armor Solar through the Torklift Golden Ticket program and  I am sharing my experience with this product.   Torklift's new POWER ARMOR SOLAR is an all-aluminum battery box with an integrated10Watt Zamp solar panel attached to...

Okay...so, using the advice above, today I mounted the soap dispenser to the shower wall using command hooks. All that remains now is to stress test it. I'll give another report after we do that. Don Left to right: the wall bracket that holds the soap dispenser, 16-lb command hooks, and the soap dispenser. Command hooks adhered to the back of the wall bracket. The wall bracket adhered to the shower wall using the command hooks. The soap dispenser with the lid removed. It can taken down from...

I have 3 Bolt locks to secure my flat tow hitch equipment. I went with the Bolt locks to get some keys off my ring, and hoping this lock will be more reliable than the cheaper hitch pin locks I had before (home depot specials). The Bolt locks have been on my rig now for more than a year, are working perfectly, and seem to be resistant to highway dirt and crud. Before buying the Bolt locks, I was seeing at least one lock failure a year which was a major pain. The cheapo pin locks from the big...
