New open box ADCO 5th Wheel Cover, Designer Series Tyvek, ADCO Part #32852, for trailer length 23'1" - 25'6". I bought the wrong size, but didn't realize error until after return time period was over. It has never been taken out of its plastic wrapping. It will be shipped to you via UPS or FedEx...

Very nice. That battery is a beast!

It will be good to have extra battery capacity, especially if you do any dry-camping. Are you going to vent additional box in the same manner as existing box?

That looks nice. How hard was it to relocate spare tire and flush mount the stabilizers? Did it require welding? Where did you get those rollers and what kind of rollers are they? Thanks.

I'm surprised to hear your tests with Well Nuts didn't work out. I've found Well Nuts to be ideal for mounting solar panels on my 5th wheel. I feel much more confident with Well Nuts than I would be with just screws into plywood. In your test, what size (length and diameter) Well Nut did you...

I have had ones like these for about a year without any problems: http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers..._sim_dbs_auto1 They plug right into the existing socket, no need to mess with tape or anything. Their light output and temperature (light quality) is similar to stock bulbs, just a little...

+1 for Northern Arizona Wind & Sun (solar-electric.com). I got my panels, inverter, and other supplies from them, and they were great to work with.

These are like the ones I used: http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Miniature-Single-Contact-Bayonet/dp/B002BN5ZT0/ref=pd_sim_dbs_auto1 They just plug right into the existing socket, no need to mess with tape or anything. Their light output and temperature (light quality) is similar to stock...

I do like those Blue Sea battery switches.

I installed LED's in my Cyclone, and am very happy with them. I did as you're proposing (but with LED's other than Rigid), and changed out only one of the two bulbs in each fixture. That way if when dry camping I want to go into really low power usage mode, I can switch to one bulb and use...

Just read your thread. I enjoyed hearing of your adventures and seeing the great pictures. I will have to put that on my list of things to do when I have more time. Thanks for sharing. Welcome home!

Something doesn't sound right. Are you sure your battery is being charged? Have you put a multi-meter on it when it's charging to verify that it's getting charged? I'm not familiar with your rig, but with my Cyclone, there is a disconnect switch. Once, shortly after I first got our Cyclone...

Can you tell us more about your current setup and what you wish to achieve by adding solar. Here's my thread about my solar installation: //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/23920-Cyclone-3010-Solar-Installation

That's for disk brakes, right? Does that work with Ford's integrated brake controller? How to you like your disk brakes? One day I'd like to get some.

I hadn't read your thread for awhile... looks like you've been busy! Your battery upgrade turned out really nice. I do like those circuit breaker/switches. The block and tackle pulley system you used to install you batteries is excellent. When I was struggling using an external long lever to...
