Hey where is this located "Jack's Huge 5x9 Custom TD"

[mikeschn]

Jack doesn't have a web page or anything. But I took a few photos when I went to Mystic. Here's the collectionl of photos I took of Jack's trailer. It's 5' high, 5' wide and 9 1/2' long, a monster compared to the average teardrop!


There are no big cabinets here to knock yourself out on...


Notice the inclusion of a porta potty...

And it has a dexter torsion axle

Even a little 5watt solar panel for keeping the battery charged inbetween trips.



Long hydraulic jacks make opening this hatch really easy. Notice how the cabinets stop short of the sides so there is room for the jacks!

Oh yes, here's a photo of the receiver on the back of the teardrop which carries Jack's 3 wheeled recumbent. Darn, I forgot to take a picture of that. That was an interesting riding experience!!!

Very Nice! Hummmm let's see my frame is 5'X 11'2" Hummmm Mike, when you coming down

Jack, noticed a solar cell on the front cover, what size (amp rating) and how good does it work. Very nice tear, lots of good ideas.

It looks like that's a .3amp hour solar charger...
Found on the web...:
Rated power: 5 Watts
Rated current: .30 Amps
Dimensions: 21.8" X 9.71"
Weight: 1.18 lbs. Rated voltage: 16.5 V
Open cicuit V: 23.8 V

Here's how I figure that would work...
I use my lights for 2 hours a night. They draw 2 amps per hour or a
total of 4 amps per night.

Then to refill the battery, the solar panel inputs .3 amps per hour
back into the battery. I need a total of 13.3 hours of good solar
charging time to refill the battery. (4 amps /.3 amps = 13.3 hours)

Mike...

P.S. You definitely want something much larger... I would start looking in the 35 watt to 50 watt range...

Darn nice. That is the size I have been looking at.

I like the one person idea for sleeping. I want to do that but my family is going with me. I want to stay in my tear for a winter in the woods alone but I guess I will have to build another one for that! O well, that tear is very cool. The more I look at the older body style I want to go back to it. I have alot of thinking to do, bye!
