Re: Battery replacement time

I bought my 2016 last July (I was the second owner as they traded it in on a motor home). It has two batteries on the tongue. I'm just curious if any other of you with the same model of trailer have two batteries on the tongue of your 2016 Starcraft Launch Ultra Lite 26BHS? I'm just wondering if the...

Re: AR 245DS - 2nd Battery?

Zamp plug adaptor for the solar panel battery charging - I just plugged in the 15watt solar panel into my trailer and it worked fine. The Zamp plug adaptor, however, would not work, so I just plugged the solar panel directly into the controller and then into the trailer using the exterior Zamp plugi...

Re: AR 245DS - 2nd Battery?

I did go ahead and purchase a small non-Zamp 15watt solar panel/charging system. Hope to use it during our first trip this year on spring break. We will be boondocking for a couple of nites and will need the batteries recharged. I did post about it a few days back. One thing to remember about the Za...

Re: Hidden Storage

Here is a photo of the wood stained trim I attached above the tile-look back splash in the kitchen and a photo of the nice storage bins that we placed on the shelf above the queen bed in the master bedroom. I did swap out the privacy curtains to the rear of the trailer as well. I've attached a phot...

Re: Solar Panel battery charging

Hi Guys, I started using solar panels to top up batteries several years ago when I started using a travel trailer at our hunting camp, which is way off the grid. I mounted two 15 watt solar panels & controller on a frame made from 3/4" PVC pipe. The frame can be manually moved, and the angle of the...

Re: Solar Panel battery charging

Hi Gary. It seems like we are both starting our new trailer adventures at the same time. I drive from Burbank CA to Phoenix on Wednesday to pick up my new 19BHS. Will be towing with a 2016 Toyota Highlander. Will be interested in hearing how the solar panel works out. I have a question though. My u...

Solar Panel battery charging

Just purchased a 15 watt Solar Charging panel (from Harbor Freight) to use while boon-docking. We are going to Antelope Island State Park close to Salt Lake City for 2 nites/3 days during Spring Break with no electric hook up. I'm sure we will need to use the furnace at night along with the typical ...
