This is a fine modern chronicle of the Grand. I've been on two private trips. There's nothing else like it. If anyone gets an opportunity, don't even think of passing on it. Make it happen at any cost.

Don't think I would want to use one in an enclosed space. If I understand its construction correctly, when you open the storage tank and put the seat on, it is OPEN to perfume the whole area. :?

They are designed for river rafting trips in the wide open spaces!! :shock:

As of Today I have 2130 watts of solar installed & operational and 99.9% of you thought that was over kill


I have 700 more watts ready to go ....
That would give me a total of 2830 solar watts
Since there is a guy that has 3130 solar watts on a 24' trailer.
I may be forced to bump it up a knotch to 3130+ , I'm still thinking , it would be a shame to come this far
And have some upstart beat me, over a few hundred watts.
The downside being I'll have to offer free solar to other RV'ers I meet.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I saw his solar trailer parked in his driveway, not sure it could be driven around at 65 MPH
his rear panels hang over 24" & have lots of air under the roof.
He does not show to much of the inside

This is SPECIAL POSTING for my # 1 buddy TEXAS- RIVER-RAT

I don't wanna post too much high tech stuff....but this here project I wanted to get TX's professional TEXAS sized opinion
Now this project came about because "i gotta admit" I got really green shades when I saw Mark519's toolbox & gen set.
Mark519 also has an extended 24" longer tongue then mine :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Since I can't weld like Mark519 & he didn't wanna make one for me :cry: :cry: :cry:
I was getting really desperate :x :x :x

When I first came up with the idea - a few of you kind CT experts jumped in and said it too big & I will smash the box.....
when I turn the corner - NOW YOU KNOW , that just made me MORE DETERMINED......to prove you WRONG !!!
If the CT's say it can't be done - who am I not to bust my nut to make it happen :beer: :beer:

So here it is THE FINAL WORD !!!
The full size tool box fits, also no problem making standard 90 deg turns, with short bed Tundra , no mods needed.
Because this is OTTCT I had the bottom of the box cut in by 3" for that little bit of extra spice.
and to SLAM it OUT- of - the PARK....
I put the whole thing on slides & locks, it now has clearance till you jackknife .....

So come on brother Texas-River-Rat , batter up - give me another TEXAS SIZE Grand Slam challenge :beer: :beer: :beer:

Well Boys & Girls

The end is near, if big ol Texas River Rat can't find the strength to give his over sized Texas opinion -
Then the fat lady is about to sing :applause: :applause: :applause:

Pretty soon I will become a Lurker on this form just like all the 98%'s readers here
It takes lots of time and work to blog & most here are only interested in the sub $5,000 conversions
With the best parts coming from Craigslist & the RV junk yard :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


My special thanks to Mark519 , ShadowCatcher, RoadInspector, Bruce, Bob & MtnDon for your interest & help.
More big things to come but if your interested then you need to become a silent Lurker @
