Nick, absolutely. Many vanlifers wire the Velit 2000R 12V AC Unit #VE87QV so it runs while the alternator tops off the batteries. It keeps the living space cool while driving long stretches, and when you park, your bank’s already partly replenished.…

In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!
Reliable A-Frame Trailer Couplers for Secure Towing
A-Frame Trailer Couplers are essential for ensuring a secure connection between your trailer and towing vehicle. They come in various styles and weight ratings to suit different needs. Consider the ease of installation, durability, and compatibility with your trailer's tongue when choosing the right coupler.
Look for a coupler that matches your trailer's weight capacity and tongue size. Consider features like an easy-to-use latch mechanism and durable construction. Some couplers offer adjustable height or underslung designs for better towing alignment.
Installation is generally straightforward, especially if the bolt holes align with your trailer. Some may require drilling new holes. A spring-loaded latch can make the process smoother. Ensure you have the necessary tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions for a secure fit.
Some users experience paint chipping or rust over time, so consider a coupler with a durable finish. Latch mechanisms can occasionally stick, so regular maintenance is key. Ensure the coupler is compatible with your trailer to avoid alignment issues.
High-profile couplers offer easier handling, especially for those with limited hand strength. They provide a better grip and can make hitching and unhitching more comfortable. This design is particularly beneficial for those with arthritis or similar conditions.
Using a wheel on the tongue jack can sometimes cause bending or warping of the coupler. It's important to ensure the coupler is designed to handle such stress. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or consider a more robust coupler design.
