Travel trailer must haves ?

[huntandjeep]

Picked up the trailer today 
 Couple things. Should I invest in a battery disconnect ? Even though all lights etc are off the trailer is still drawing from the batteries correct ?
 Will plugging into an outlet in my shop ( with the city power cable that came with the trailer)  charge the batteries ? Or should I look into a battery trickle charger.

Dunno whats best but what I do is plug it in.  I will unplug it and the Batts will discharge over next days.  I do this once every month or so when I check on it.  Driz air is a must too!  I don't know if my Tt is broke but batts will discharge over 4-6 days sitting and the stupid alarm goes off.  I advise pulling fuse on alarm for low battery so it doesn't go off in middle of night.  I do know its good to discharge and charge batts and not just leave em idle for long periods. Nice TT!  We will be camping in your area next week, trails open I think!  I will look for the pretty TT!!

Nice trailer, yes plug it into commercial power. The rectifier has a built in float charger.
Jisy wondering do you have a Reese anti sway bar.

Nice trailer and setup! I have a battery disconnect on mine and turn the switch to disconnect the battery anytime I store it a few days without power. Well worth it in my opinion.

No on the Reese. They threw in an Equal -I-zer brand.

Picked up a Champion 3100w inverter generator  today. Cabelas had it on sale. It's extremely quiet  and light.

I leave mine plugged in year around at my house, has anyone mentioned the obvious, bucket, shovel and axe yet? and a fire extinguisher in your truck plus the one in your trailer. You can do a battery disconnect or just undo the terminals if you want.

The BEST advice from a trailer/camper owner, KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid. The more you add, the more issues.

My fiance came with a casita. At first I was skeptical. Now when I'm pulling fourth of July hill doing 85mph and not losing a bit of fuel economy and wear and tear in sold on it. I don't like being inside much anyways. A bed, fridge, hot water and stove top to make coffee ( and a bad ass air conditioning unit) is all I need lol

I do have black and grey water tanks, full shower/toilet inside. They are really well laid out for a small trailer. A bit pricey..

This is ours.

I have a 1973 Compact II by Hunter, double bed, room for porta potty, three burner stove & ice box.  I know what ya' mean.  We also have a Stealth Toy Hauler though.

The first kid almost beat us senseless before she was a year old trying to all sleep in one double bed.  I bought it in '95 when I was single. 

The pic is not mine, but mine is as nice.
