Where's the AC?
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

They do make a contraption for the AC.  I guess it would be "AC Contraption?" Course then you need generator.   

Mostly the AC is a fantastic fan and me being smart enough not to go places that are hot.

Plenty of places have mild summer in AZ.  It is currently 80* at my house.  Should drop to 62* tonight.  70 and 50* less than 20 miles away.  Arizona is an elevation game.  Over 100 in the valley today.

Flagstaff is down right nice in the summer.

Wowsers 91* in a pool?  Heck, we keep our hot tub at 101*. 

Lots of misconception about Arizona.  Dry, hot, etc. 

Figured maybe as many on Kansas?  It can't be as flat as they say right?  Come to find out "Mt. Sunflower" is 4,039'.  Dang that is nose bleed.

I guarantee you there are states flatter than Kansas. On my way to anywhere , 90% of the hardest hills to pull are right here in Kansas within 100 miles of my house.

Not possible to leave well enough alone.  Heck no.  Something else to "improve." 

So, trailer was IMHO screaming for black fenders.   Besides, it will match the jeep.  Also put some edge wrap on the fenders. The square fenders already gigged me once.  On a scale of one to meat hook, they were pretty well meat hooks.  May fall off, may not.  If it spares our legs just once; good call.  Will wait for it to cure and throw some wax on them. 

Also installed a disconnect switch for the battery.  Seemed odd not to have a way to totally shut off the "house" power when stored.  Problem solved.  Tender / charger lead as well. 

More mods later this week no doubt. 













My silicon skills clearly need work.   LMAO

Painting the fenders black was a good move for sure. Much nicer. Were they galvanized steel to start with? If so,did you use a galvanized metal primer or a paint made specifically for galvanized metal?
