Man that's gonna be a sweet rig. Did you ever get your solar sorted out? I have actually camin to position of a Victron solar controller. The Bluetooth feature does not work but the controller itself is fine. I think it will only charge 15 amps and handle a 100w panel. You are welcome to it. You can pm me and I can get it sent to ya. Also there is a local guy selling new 270° awnings her fro $300. Take offs of little tear drop trailer demos. I have tones of RV parts in my garage of mysteries and wonders haha. If you ever get close to Nashville your are welcome to come digging haha. I'm kinda a pack rat. I just can't throw away working parts.

I think I did get the solar all sorted out, ended up going nuts on Amazon around black Friday and ended up with a pair of Renogy 100 watt panels, charge controller that can charge at 15 amps from the panels and towing vehicle at the same time or 30 amps from each individual source, and a bluetooth adapter for the controller, probably not the best stuff but the reviews were good, so I'll give it a try.

It'll be feeding 90ah of LiFePO4 batteries and won't be running much more than lights and possibly an ARB fridge I bought off marketplace cheap.

I'd love one of those 270 degree awnings but I currently have two 6x8 foot awnings to be installed on this when I build the rack. I also have a similar issue and can't toss working stuff, I've got a 20 foot container filled with parts...

It's a 3500 pound axle that came from a collapsed camper at the junkyard, was shortened and sleeved. The leaf springs came from the truck the body was on originally and other than being rusty were in good condition. I think I'm going to add some lift shackles to it, just to bring it up a couple inches, weld on some shock mounts, and call it good enough

Man, I get it naturally, haha. My dad has a shed full of auto parts. Plus, an 86 Thunderbird TC, a 91 Aerostar, 97 Mustang, and 2 98 explorers sitting in the back field, haha. Of course, I've raided them for parts over the years.
