RE: Powering AC unit built into travel trailer with solar?
Solar panels run nothing ! Solar panels will charge your batteries . To run a rooftop air would take many , many batteries and a way to charge them . Solar panels would do that IF you cover your whole roof with them and spend several thousand dollars on batteries , maybe ! You need to spend some time studying this before committing ! Six to ten thousand dollars should cover it !

RE: Jacking For Tire Change
With a "trailer aide ' type device you can have the flat off the ground in the the time it takes to place 'trailer aide " at the tire and pull forwards or backwards . Back 15 years or so before the Goodyear trailer tire recall my wife and I changed several flats each week during our delivery schedule . Are best all time record was eight minutes between blow out and back on the road . NEVER JACK !

RE: Jacking For Tire Change
Never jack , run the good tire up on blocks to lift the bad tire . Use boards or there are several ramps built for this purpose .

RE: Your Opinion On Air Bags
Less than $200 , you can put them on yourself . I like them as I routinely drag 3 different trailers . A trailer with torsion springs needs to be hauled level . I can raise the rear of my truck to level which ever trailer I hitch to .

Inverter ?
Assuming that I have the battery power would a 3,000 watt inverter run a rooftop 13,500 air for an hour or so ? I now have 4 six volts hooked up as 12 volts . I would only need air for an hour or so each day . Nothing else on batteries except normal pumps and lites .

RE: Don't let your guard down, Covid is still out there...
Three hundred and thirty million people in the U.S.A. Over one million have died . The way that I look at it , Ya walk into a room with 330 shotguns , only one loaded . You are told to pick up one at random , put it in your mouth and pull the trigger , odds are pretty good that you will survive . The other choice is to take a shot and you will not even have to enter that room !
