I attached two 100 watt panels to my roof. The Lauan plywood is about 1/4" thick which actually gives a pretty good amount of material to dig into. I mounted each with six brackets. One at each...

Did you finish this replacement? Hope it worked out. I'm wondering how the front cap fit up and any issues. Also where did you buy the new cap material?

I remember reading the 160 dumps both toilet and shower in the same tank because it's a combo bath. That always sounded like a bad solution to me. I suspect rerouting will be difficult. I wonder...

I had an intermittent antenna issue. It turned out the coax connectors weren't crimped properly and the shield was touching the center conductor. I replaced and it's been working fine since.

Tankless water heater

I'm starting to plan a water heater replacement. Does anyone have experience with the Girard tankless water heater? It looks like a direct replacement.

Tires

I'm at 10 years now on my trailer. About 3 years ago one of the original Duro tires was damaged. I had a tire store put on a trailmaster because that's all they had. Big mistake, the tread already...

I have the Yamaha ef2400is. It gives a little more power than the Honda 2000 to run AC but is also heavier so it's a bit of a struggle to get in and out of the trailer. The reliability is great.
