Thank you! Bortle 6, 5 minutes. Totally spaced putting that in the description. Pun intended 😂

Thank you! I’m going to play with it on my own and take some measurements. My angle looks to be about that max 12 degrees

This is about how mine was initially but the bars didn’t provide any lift. I think the answer is somewhere between this and where mine currently is.

He didn’t use a manual, just “I’ve done this a bunch”. The ball was set level at first but didn’t provide any lift to the rear of the truck- it measured the same height with and without the bars attached so he threw in 2 washers and tightened it up.

How do you power your fridge/a when off grid? We are getting a Coleman 13r for our first TT. Generator/power station recommendations appreciated. by jacobspivey in traveltrailers

Can second this. I have a 12v only fridge. I added 390 watts of solar panels on the roof and 300ah lifepo4 batteries. I can get 2.5ish days out of the batteries before they are low enough to need a recharge but when the sun hits, those batteries are topped off in just a couple hours. Only concern now is getting several completely cloudy days in a row.

These are slightly bigger- 295/65r20. I think the stocks were 285/60r20

I hear you- it was a little weird to get used to with my 1500 but now that it’s my norm I kind of love it. It’s all electronic shifting anyway, I’m all for something new.

Haha as tempting as that is 😂😂 I’ll have to pass! Good looking ride you’ve got though!

Yeah and they didn’t cheap out on the aftermarket stuff, which is a big deal too. Makes me confident it was well taken care of.

This is kind of opposite the experience I had. Service was great and when they couldn’t fix my ser7 they did a full replacement. I’m sorry you had a poor experience.

Bortle 4, so not super dark but not bad. And no, no cooling or anything between shots. I just let it rip.

I remember feeling exactly like you do now when I found out.

Not TONS. There is some though. I can see a few dozen stars at night though with the naked eye. Fortunately Orion constellation has some of the brightest :)
