It was a very demoralizing day as an electrical person lol.  I don't understand why the 3-2 wire converters didn't work.

Because it is a Dodge.

The canbus on the Dodge trucks of this generation is a very hard system to work with. If its not perfect it will not work. Nice call on using the trailer wiring.

I was making sloppy electrical mistakes all day Sunday rewiring around bad sensors on the BMW top. I was equally embarrassed, shit I should have had right took me four tries. (just needed to make a basic DC motor reversing relay pack, driven directly from existing buttons. I wired it wrong three different ways, and then shorted my feed wires and had to change the fuse before connecting THOSE backwards too and having nothing work. I do not have an excuse of dealing with CAN bus BS since I was explicitly bypassing safety and limit things that have gone bad over the past 20 years)

Having these boxes is freakin' awesome.  All my outdoor shit is in there.  No more crap stuffed in the camper.

Just put in some sweet mud flaps.  24x24 cut in half is perfect.

Mounted underneath via plastic holes.  Doubt it’s going to last a rough as this thing rides…. Zip ties for when they break off

This was one of the best trips I've ever taken.  It's like high peaks Adirondacks x 10.  Endless outdoor activities, parks, facilities, camping.

I love snowshoe and I love the fact the resort is on the top of the mountain instead of the bottom like most resorts.

Main reason I went was to watch Downhill MTB World Cup.  It was absolutely wild.  1,000+ people 3 day party.

It is a cool resort, We had a condo with an amazing view.  It sucked having the downhill finish at the bottom of the hill though.  Had to walk up.  The lift line was hours long after the race lol.
