After the First Trip to Fruita

The first trip went mostly without incident. The part about me losing my left contact lens, the one for near vision doesn't count. I came home with more knowledge about what works and what needed done to the trailer. The rolling stock, hitch, basic electrics all worked fine. The new cooler is great. The stove and grill worked as they have in the past. I didn't get to run the propane campfire, but we gave it some good tests at home. What needed more work was the charging, battery and solar systems.

The battery on the left and the charger were added the morning of the first trip. The solar controller on the right, nestled in with wires for the solar panel on the right are more recent.

 I also needed to get some tie-downs in the galley to hold things steady.

The big stuff in the galley needs to be held in place or it will (did) bash the inside of the door. The Yeti cooler now has a strap to hold it to it's sliding tray. The tray is held in place by a pin on it's left side, and that pin is now held in place by a small bungie from the stove's tray. There's a bungie holding the stove to the tray, and as for the yeti, a small bungie to hold it's pin in place. Below the stove is a propane fired campfire and a grill held in place by a yellow bungie cord. The cord hangs onto some tie downs like the ones used to hold the green tub above in place. You can see the lower blue bungie cord hook into one on the right.

Palisade, Front-Rear Weight Balance and Tongue Weight

Palisade is a great place. Must return for more wine tasting tours and bike rides. Hot though. Wine in Palisade history The trailer sway story took an interesting turn on this trip. As is becoming usual, we noticed the trailer sway, but it was worse after getting better. This time we had two bikes on the back and the sway was pretty bad. It was bad enough that we stopped in Arvada to move the bikes, two this time, into the car from the hitch behind the trailer. The sway improved (reduced) tremendously. By some stroke of luck, Mandy noticed that we didn't have bikes on the last trip, and had two on this trip. Then she thought it seemed better when we moved the hitch into the car on the way home last time. It seems trailer sway is something you can  control. Some web searching revealed that trailer balance is a big deal and sway is the consequence. You want about a 45/55 split of weight between back and front. This translates into  10-15% of your trailer weigh...

Lynch Pins

Image
The trailer has some nifty heavy-duty, drawers in the galley. One is for the cooler so that it can slide out from underneath the counter. Another is for the stove. The slide nicely, and that's a problem while towing because they slide out into the hatch and ding it up. The dealer's solution was a pin to prevent the drawers from opening. The first problem is that the pins slide out. There is no mechanism for holding them in place. This is the pin that came with the trailer: There isn't anything to loop the ring around to keep the pin from slipping out. For the moment I have a small bungie cord to pull the pin in and keep it from slipping. I'd like to replace the pins with something like this, a locking pin. The other issue with the cooler and stove is that they need to be tied to the drawers, so even if the drawers don't move, the items don't fly off the drawer into the galley door. I use a strap for the cooler and a flat bungie for the stove. The Yet...

Canopy Weights

We have an 8x8 canopy that's nice to have in the sunny West. It's a collapsable roof without tent walls. The structure is such that it can stand on four legs without guy ropes like a thing my parents had 50 years ago they called a dining fly. The dining fly had two ropes at each corner that attached to steaks in the ground. It took some work, and soft ground, to set up, but it never crossed anyone's mind that it might fly away. It was steaked down! Not so, the canopy. The wind will push it around. We had it up covering the galley in Palisade last week and it was the first time we left it up unattended. It comes with a sturdy bag you fill with water and hang from the middle  to weight it down. It works OK. There was a bit of a stiffer breeze overnight that would gently shake the teardrop. The canopy staid put, but had walked about 4 inches downwind by the end of the night. The next day, we went into town and checked out a small festival in downtown palisade. The night...
