After towing with a dolly I switched to flat tow. Ready Brute Elite 2, base plate and wiring harness came to around $1600. I self installed it on my Wrangler.

You only really need a new BIM. Also, check the charging profile of your converter. You may want to change that out too. My converter will get the batteries to 90% charge. I rely on the solar to get...

Excellent advice by creativepart. I went with 400w of solar and 200ah of lithium batteries. Typically, if boondocking I’ll turn on the generator for around 30 minutes when I wake up to make coffee....

I’d take a trip to Forest City and let the Winnebago techs fix everything. They’re really great. Don’t mess with a dealer.

If you have a good quality, modern MPPT solar charge controller then I would recommend the BIM. If you have a cheap controller then I’d upgrade with a DC to DC.

You have a couple options.

1. Just use the hell out of the batteries you have and don’t worry about how far you draw them down. If you burn them up in six months who cares. You’re going to...

Thanks for the tips. Particularly the drip rail area. I knew Dicor isn’t spec but I had a tube and figured it couldn’t hurt while on the road. I’ll pull it off and redo when I get home. Thanks again.

I tow a Toyota Carolla. It has two attachment points right up front. The chains snap on in 30 seconds or less. Getting the straps on right is what takes time.

We have a Stehl. No complaints except for the straps that came with it. Bought different straps that go on much easier. Takes about 5 or 6 minutes to load the car and ratchet down the straps. I can...
