Off grid camping trailer build

Got the battery/storage box mounted. Made a battery hold down strap, got the solar charger hooked up. Made a switch panel and got the lights wired in.

Got the tires balanced yesterday and put in a couple charging ports. Today I installed the awning.

Have the trailer mostly loaded for it’s first trip. I undershot my ride height by about an inch. 🤦‍♀️ The tires are going to kiss the fenders every now and again, over bigger bumps. Have a e-mail in to the company to see if there is a stiffer block I can run, or other options to bring it up a touch.
 
The trailer worked perfectly on its Maiden voyage. The solar system kept up with all our demands, charging camera batteries, lights and CB. It was a great test run. My suspicion of my clearance issues happened just as I thought. I’ve got heavier weight springs coming to fix that. So I’ve got it ready to switch out the springs.
