A little late on this but yep, great lights and a great company, very happy with my 3303 pro light bar, yet to mount it up but tests show it to be excellent.

I only have 130kg on the towball, the water tank is in the back of the trailer along with the pull out kitchen etc. I also have airbags in the rear springs of the JK. Tows great like this just looking forward to the 8 speed in the JL and the extra power of the 3.6L :)

I always tow with mine, in fairness (for whatever the reason) the towing capacity of the 2 door 3.8 JK here in Australia is 1600kg (3500lbs). I'm waiting on my JLUR to turn up though as legally I can tow 5500lbs with that. The little 2 door has done fine though, just thirsty and not a lot of...

So my camper has a 120AH Lithium battery in it but for the Jeep, or my daily, I have a small portable pack that just plugs into the 12v outlet in the back of the Jeep and runs the small 25lt Waeco compressor fridge (it will charge and output at the same time). This is purely so the fridge keeps...

The JLU in Australia has the same payload (roughly) as those available in the US but has a towing capacity of 5500lb. Even my current 2009 JK (Shortie) has a towing capacity of 3527lb (1600kg). I have a JLU on order at the moment but wouldn't buy it if it couldn't legally tow the 5500lb!!

From the Flinders we headed back into the desert via the Strezlecki track to the Cameron corner Off the corrugations for a lunch break, nowhere to really stop out here and get any shade At a three state corner marker Drinking while the sun goes down And then we headed home, via lots...

From here we went into the Flinders ranges, spent a week there so here's a few pics around the area. The family that came with us borrowed my military trailer, it needed to be tough to cope with the corrugations.

So we (my family and a friends family) spent two weeks of the winter traveling from Sydney west to the Flinders ranges in South Australia and then a loop through Cameron Corner, Bourke and back to Sydney. Here's a few pics, bear in mind this is the middle of winter, overnight temps got down to...

Spent two weeks dragging our forward fold camper around some of the Australian desert, works really well :) Cheers Steve

I just use the bluetooth on my solar charger (Victron), it only tells me the voltage in regard to the state of the battery but also tells me how the solar is charging the battery etc which is more useful to me. I have a tablet on the dash of my Jeep and the bluetooth can connect to the trailer...

The only thing I've changed is adding stuff to it, little things like a dishrack, solar inputs, battery charger for grid tie in that sort of stuff. Love it though, quick to put up and pack away and sits in behind the jeep so tows well on the freeway and also high enough to tow offroad :)...

Packed to go And Setup :) Cheers Steve

A 100W panel will put (at absolute most) 7.6A into the battery at 13V, so a 10A regulator will be fine. If I was you I would up the solar though, 100W to charge two 100AH batteries (so potentially needs to put in 100A a day) is not going to do it. Of course if you never draw the batteries down...

I get them from ebay, looks like a few also sell and ship to the US. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xanderson+flush+mount.TRS0&_nkw=anderson+flush+mount&_sacat=0 Cheers Steve

Got away for the first time over the last few days, just a couple of hours from home to see some of the local sights to the West of Sydney. Trailer towed great, airbags made all the difference in the Jeep and with them at 2/3rds of maximum pressure it sits pretty flat...
