- | === Seating ===
| |
- | Additional folding chairs are in the cabinet by the front door.
| |
- |
| |
- | === Power ===
| |
- | Electricity can be brought to the trailer. The connector is on the outside at the left (driver's side) rear. The connector is special. There's a cable that adapts that to a standard 3-ping 120V connector. The cable is stored in the outside cubbyhole on the left (driver's side) front.
| |
- |
| |
- | The cable is not very long, so you'll likely need an extension cord to reach a building supply or a generator which has been position away to avoid noise. '''The extension cord should be a minimum of 12-guage''' (or less -- larger numbers are thinner) to handle the load of for instance running a heater. Otherwise the extension cable may heat up and cause a hazard.
| |
- |
| |
- | A generator is not stored in the Briefing Trailer. We have one in the Equipment Trailer.
| |
- |
| |
- | With external power, the electrical sockets will provide 120V as expected. The power bars may need to be turned on.
| |
- |
| |
- | === Battery ===
| |
- | If external electricity is not brought to the trailer, some things can still be run on battery.
| |
- |
| |
- | There is a display on the inside wall by the rear door that shows the charge level of the battery. It's recharged by a solar panel on the roof or by connecting external electricity.
| |
- |
| |
- | The battery will run the lights and move the pop-out.
| |
- | It won't provide 120V to the electrical outlets.
| |
- | === Fridge and Freezer ===
| |
- | The fridge and freezer can be turned on using switches above them.
| |
- | They function if external electricity is supplied.
| |
- | There also appears to be a setting for using gas which hasn't been explored.
| |
- | === Awning ===
| |
- | The awning can be extended over the doors and to create an area protected from the sun and rain (light elements).
| |
- | The directions have not clearly worked out for extend it.
| |
- | There appears to be a latch on each arm as well as a screw release.
| |
- | The awning roll has a mechanism that controls which way it ratchets.
| |
- | There is a long rod in the outside right (passenger side) front cubbyhole that is designed to reach up to mechanism and switch the ratchet so it will release the awning.
| |
- | It may take two or three people in concert to extend the awning.
