[QUOTE="amREADY, post: 1525618, member: 36210"] Looks great. I wired in an Aux battery and Redarc bcdc 1225 charger. A bit of work to get it all set up, but its great. Probably overkill for running some camp lights, charge phones etc., but I run a 55qt ARB fridge and didn't want to touch my starter/main battery. I have my tent on the lowest of the 18 to 30" of the Overhaul HD rack. At 18, I can just barely stand under it, so can run an annex and a room under my awning, if I want to get fancy. But then more of the tent is in the wind that way too. Re the mpg, I find the extra 200 lbs and wind drag is maybe... maybe 1 mpg. Maybe a titch more with the full camping load out. That is a way better hit than towing a trailer. Those ladders are a bit of a puzzle. You need to start from the bottom when collapsing the rungs, so that they are stacked up above the top rung. But maybe with yours being closer to the ground you need to do it differently. As far as weight, I think I will do something like a Deaver + 2 or 3 at some point. The rear is pretty soft and I lose a bit of rear departure angle when fully loaded (around 400 lbs). Still drives nice, but would rather be sitting level.
