    So now that I had some time to work on it I’ve got the plumbing done from the water tanks through the filter and basically to the outlet where I will split it one for my cold water and one for my cold water into my hot water heater. Also got the bumper fitted to go over the hitch not much needed...

    Got the hitch all welded up onto the rear Ibeam. I have to to a little trimming on the aluminum diamond plate cover so it clears the ball when it turns to unlock the pentel hook. But other than that it fits. Here’s a picture of the truck and trailer. More once I get the generator on and it all...

    Haven’t been able to do much cause it gets dark so early now with the time change and working all the time but did make time to get the hitch assembly built. Hopefully have this welded up tomorrow after work and then can get the trailer hooked up and see them together!

    Not much to report, just did some misc wiring in the solar comparent, hooking up the Bluetooth for everything and getting power over to the dongle. I must say having everything Bluetooth to you phone and being able to view it from the app is very nice. Tomorrow I will get all my solar panels...

    Hoping to have all my wiring here today to get the solar compartment all wired up and my victron accessories powered. I ran the wires for my solar down the same side as the roof A/C so they are hidden behind a diamond plate cover. Then did a grommet to pass thru to the compartment as well as my...

    2011 Hotshot Conversion

    Finally some progress to report over the weekend I drove up to Reno and picked up all of my solar components. I wanted to go with all Victron components because I feel like they’re the best in the industry so I’m dedicating the passenger side front bin completely to all the electronics. I was...

    2011 Hotshot Conversion

    Yea I have noticed that no matter how many times I use the rear step I always seem to screw up my foot timing and trip. I can see them being dangerous when wet. I agree with you about adding height aswell. And the roof real estate being valuable. I’m getting ready to install 4 solar panels up...

    2011 Hotshot Conversion

    ************!! Gald to see someone else converting one of these! It’s a killer platform to start from! The combo weighs about 6000# give or take fuel. The trailer has factory air brakes so I’m going to try and incorporate the air from the truck to use for the glad hands on the trailer. I like what you...
