A 12 ft. FEATHERLITE conversion

Lithium Ion BBQ for trailer camping:

[lrrowe]

That will not make a Happy Camper for sure!

[Prem]

If you just vent the flames and the smoke effectively, you could heat the whole trailer with it.

[lrrowe]

Isn't there a following that says that every setback presents an opportunity?

[Prem]

Yes, if one actually survives a catastrophic setback like a lithium ion battery bank fire in a CT.

Darwin Awards will likely be handed out in the afterlife for those who don't.

[lrrowe]

This sort of makes a case to tread slowly in this area and maybe stay with my Trojan T105's until more is proven on these batteries.

Nature applies minimal-but-sufficient standards in all lifeforms. Bones are hollow for weight reduction. Trees only grow as tall as their roots can support. A CT that gets heavier and heavier is ultimately just a mass of overkill and overly complex function caused by runaway ego, over spending and an engineering attitude that more and more is always better. Are we camping/living for peace of mind or to impress the neighbors with size and quantity? If it's the latter, my 35 ft., dual fuel, 4 MPG bus was "the bomb" with 150 pounds of batteries, 300 watts of solar, 72 gallons of water, 33 gallons of black water, 33 gallons of gray water, 200 gallons of propane (carburation fuel) and 66 gallons of gasoline. 9,000 lbs. on the front axle, 13,000 lbs. on the rear axle. That was so OVER THE TOP that I danced a jig the day I sold it. I'm still dancing.

I see what you did there

[lrrowe]

So you are saying, less is more?

[Prem]

I'm saying that too much is a bad thing (clutter, complexity, weight, expense). It's the age-old needs vs. wants, fad vs. utility decision-making process that needs to be applied.

Only you can determine what is minimally optimal for you. Maximally optimal would be the U.S. Defense Dept's inventory of stuff. And watch out for "mission creep."
