I have towed trailers about that size with vehicles about that size. If you are in the numbers, the ones that matter, and all of the ones that matter, it will probably work. How well will it work?...

This is my next step as well. Right now I am limited in what I can load up and take with me because of the GAWRR of my truck. I want to do some boondocking but I can't tow my rig with a full water...

5/8 Ton... I like that. That's probably a pretty good camp to dump the XD into.

That sounds about right for the non-XD. The XDs can get up into the 2300-2400 range if you get the right configuration (2WD single cab long bed gas engine I think is the highest payload). It could...

Yep, so on my 30RKD there was a black box next to the autolevel controller that had a set of RED/BLACK and a 14/2 Romex tied off. By default the RED/BLACK is a direct battery connection to the jacks...

Well technically that's instability in the tow vehicle caused by insufficient tracking authority, not sway in the trailer. But yes it is also a large problem that is to be avoided.

Agree 100%. My 30RKD is 36 feet and 9500 GVW and I couldn't imagine towing it with a 1/2 ton gasser.

Yeah I am still not sure my 400W worth of solar are going to be enough. I have enough space on the roof for 6 total panels so I could get to 1200W, but we'll see how this pans out. I am going to a...

Thanks! I looked at Renogy but their only 24V panel was 300W and too wide to fit where I have these. Generally I think their stuff is pretty good though. I've been happy with these - I finally got...
