Solar Tip; You can steplessly dim down a bulge and all other hungry electricity consumers with a 5000W dimmer (7, EUR). I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heating are throttled with me. Videos about it on my channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eC2olbCBhh0.html The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because extreme current peaks no longer arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices...
I had my eye on a 8x20 first but someone beat me to it. I bought a 8x16 then with ac in the ceiling and a 110 box already. Your trailer is well thought out and simple. I use a $50 fake fireplace for my heater and am planning to add a Mr Buddy because I have propane for hot water already. I too carry my motorcycle along so I did my build around it initially. Thx for sharing, R
Nice job. I would have gone a similar rout if I didn't make mine to carry my quad. This is why I went with fold up beds. We generally are boondocking it when we are quading and so we are set up with an outside kitchen and portable tent and toilet. Keeping in mind we do own a travel trailer as well but for a few years the cargo trailer was also the travel trailer. Nice job
Any concerns about other people coming along while your inside and closing the outside rear door closers, thus blocking your quick escape in an emergency?
I was in awe with the work on the outside and then you opened the interior door and 😖 I'm sorry. All the money spent and to not make the inside nice is just puzzling to me is all. Buying a couple futons and clearance or garage sale cabinets would have went a long way. But the outdoor build is the best I've seen and I really enjoy seeing what can really be done to these cargo trailers.
Hey guy I think you said it was a 20' trailer and they added 6" to the height! I didn't see or hear how wide the trailer is! So if you could tell us how wide the trailer is we would appreciate! Thanks
Hi Steve it is a 7 wide. If your checking trailers out you can generally figure out at a glance - if the fenders stick out it is either a 6 or 7 wide. On the 8' wide the wheels are flush with the sides. We wanted the narrower 7' version. I am not sure if I would order the 6'' additional height again. Would have preferred 2'' or 3'' additional height rather than 6'' - but the 6'' makes it nice for the taller door and higher awning. Thanks for watching
