Trailer Upgrades

Getting the trailer ready. We have added a 130 W solar panel to the trailer to charge the batteries when we are staying at places with no power (i.e. provincial campgrounds). We also added an inverter that is wired both to the trailer batteries and to the electric panel in the trailer. This allows us to charge / run the computers, hard drives and printers from all of the outlets in the trailer when we are staying at places without power.

The next step will be to add a cell booster (to both the truck and trailer) to boost the cell signals so we extend the cell coverage.
