Thanks all for the pointers and insight.

@VDBAZFJ Thanks for the info. @DzlToy I hear you; everything has its limits. In my case the squaredrop I'm using is exactly the size of a queen size bed, so 34 sq ft. Depending on the temperature drop desired online calculators put the needed BTU at somewhere between 1,600 and 3,300 BTU. That...

First, thanks for the report and for trying it out. Two cubic meters is indeed pretty small. You're right - if all it could handle in the shade was a five degree drop it'll be useless in the sun. I'm curious how you had it mounted and plumbed? Was the main unit outside with hoses run in? I saw...

Hi - any update on the unit and how it performs?

Thanks guys. The lunette is now in the bottom mount. And my current pintle hitch mount is indeed one of those adjustables, turned upside down with the hitch below the receiver in the Jeep. Unfortunately it's been modded enough over the years (read: cut up) that I'm out of adjustability there...

Hi, Taking this up from another thread. I've got an M416; outdated photo here: I've just pulled the surge brake off and replaced it with a standard lunette. In another thread I saw a bent lunette and immediately thought of using one to level my trailer; after some other mods she sits a tiny...

Silverado - going to take my questions to another thread to avoid hijacking yours further. Those bigger trailers look nice! Tropics - I'm about to post a new thread about this. Would appreciate your input.

Hi Tropics, Is that a bent pintle I spy on the "after" photos of your trailer? Any better photos or info available? Thanks, Mike
