Switched to the ’18 Volvo XC60. Was looking for a bit more Tech and the Volvo delivered. I expect this one will last a while. Has latest tech and was able to install a truly hidden hitch, manufactured by Stealth Hitches Click here for hitch related images
Click here for more pics. Have to proceed with caution to make sure electronics in the pod are not affected by what’s added to windshield. Have also added a camera in the grill, just above the Volvo front camera.
Added a Navdy Head Up Display. Love it. Unfortunately the company failed and declared bankruptcy. Got me started on HUD though so new Tow Vehicle has HUD.
Not totally new but rather just a bit refreshed with new Tech and stuff. New colour of course. Currently in the process of adapting 7 pin, slightly different than previous as I have more solar available.
We looked at a Prolite Plus-S as a possible replacement but after consideration and judging actual usage we decided to stay with our Suite. Some of the primary reasons in favour of the Suite where the size itself, easy to man-handle as needed, heavily modified to make it self-sufficient with reference to solar/power installation, etc. […]
I am considering a bit of an upgrade, from 700 lbs to 1250 lbs of towing weight. No decision yet, but if you are interested in our ProLite please drop me an email at bytedesigns-@-icloud.com. (Please remove the dashes around the @). Well, two years later two-foot-itis came back. This time there was an acceptable […]
One of the hazards of driving in BC. Thanks to good brakes on tow vehicle and trailer nothing was hurt. Heart rate went up a bit but settled back down quickly.
Did a 10 day loop into Alberta. Did some family visiting in Edmonton and then took the long way home via Dinosaur Provincial Park and the Crowsnet Pass. Encountered some near freezing temperatures in Edmonton but stayed very comfortable by simply plugging our 200 watt electric heater in for an hour or so before retiring […]
To help me be accessible while travelling and to let family know our whereabouts I use the DeLorme InReach SE. Using the SE is more reliable than cellular because it doesn’t need cell towers, only a view of the sky. I think I found the right location during travel by installing a holder where the SE […]
Removed the slide-out drawer to go back to the conventional space. Also removed the remaining center post in the storage area and replaced it with 1″ square aluminum beam, fastened through the top. Should make for much easier access to storage containers. Might consider a 2-way slide out, but probably not.
