Woodglue turned me on to this device. https://www.amazon.com/Spot-Satellite-SPOT-Gen3-Messenger/dp/B00C8S8S4W/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 I bought one and paid for the annual monitoring ($150) and so far love it. I used it on my trip out to Chino Valley AZ and then to the mountains of Santa Fe. Both had no cell service. It basically receives AND transmits via satellite so you don't have to have cell reception to get rudimentary communications out. There are 5 buttons on the thing you...

Jeff, I just increased my StableLoads from 2 fingers to three. I haven't towed with the new setup yet. I do use some spray on white Lithium grease on the StableLoads, as mine developed a squeak from the metal on metal contact. They are really easy to engage and dis-engage while hooking up and unhooking the trailer. The back of the truck is lifted by the tongue jack while setting the spring bars on the Weight Distribution Hitch. I just go around the truck while it's raised and engage or...

I have an electric folding bike made my PREDECO. It is a 26" bike, has 7 speeds if you want to pedal and it is 36 volts with a lithium battery. The range is 30 miles on a charge. Mine is called a Phantom X. I bought it on Amazon with free shipping for $1200 3 years ago now it is $1300. This bike has disk brakes, no resistance pedaling and will pull steep hills. I leave my truck hooked up to my boat. Therefore I ride to shower or store and of course to BS.

I have the easy start, a smaller 9200 air conditioner, two Renogy 100 Ah Lithium batteries and a 2000 watt inverter. I can run the air easily with this setup, probably for two hours without replenishing the batteries. I would have loved to have one more battery and a 3000 watt inverter, but at some point I had to reign in the spending.

The investment for going Lithium and solar and inverters is totally up to how you camp or how much you camp. (Its not for everybody) I have a dream of Living for 3 to 4 months in my Travel Trailer and love boondocking. I wish frigerators were more efficient in campers and all dc, someday they will get more efficient and run dc and gas but there are limited options. Since its my only hobby and I love learning about electronics and its a big investment until I retire it gives me something to...

I guess we have different perspectives on cost. I was thinking in terms relative to the cost of the trailer and to the overall cost of the solar/lithium/inverter package. I just looked at AM Solar and a Magnum 3000 Hybrid was 2239 and a 2000 non Hybrid was 1735, for a 504 difference. I think that difference is larger than it should be as I only paid 1700 for my 3000 Hybrid; but the AM Solar example is likely the worst case. When I bought mine I would only have saved 300.00 going 2000 watt...
