hi all
been busy with house renos and stuff but have almost finished the trailer just need to get it inspected for rego now hopefully in the next few weeks . has taken longer to build than i planned due to other things getting in the way but im happy with how it's turned out . got a permit and took it for a test run i put a ba falcon wagon in the back and hooked it up to the ranger as i wanted to set up the electric brakes and make sure the charging system from the car and solar panel all did as it should.
it towed like a drean the ranger pulled quite strong and easily got up to 110 without struggling and went up a few steep hills with relative ease .
all up it has cost around $ 13000 including the solar panel /dc -dc charger and a huge 280 amp battery and invertor that runs a microwave and kettle and small fan heater at the same time i really wanted to load it up and see how that side of it worked so there is about 1200 bucks for the solar set up included in the build .
i used led strip lights inside and there very bright at night time reflecting off the white ceiling and sides ..all in all i prob could have bought a second hand one for the same money but i enjoy building stuff lol.
cheers dean
