Aluminum Camper Forum

I'm just curious.  Did you sell your 5th wheel?  I have a Camplite 26 RLS that I am thinking about selling, and yours is the only listing that I found searching the web.

All aluminum Camp Lite 13 RDB travel trailer. Approx 2100 lbs and 180 lbs tongue weight. 16.5' total length. Towable by almost any SUV, small truck, etc. Aluminum box tube construction with all aluminum floor, roof and exterior skin.

Windows are double pane acrylic with built in roller shade/screen combo. 20 gal/91 L freshwater tank, 27 gal/123 L grey water tank, 14 gal/64 L black water tank.

Interior has main dinette that folds down into queen/full bed, front gaucho sectional that folds into small double bed. Upgraded articulating Lagun table allows you to keep the queen bed made up with a front lounge if you prefer.

Interior wet bath with porcelain toilet, 2 vent fans and roof vent. 2 burner stove, 3 way fridge for extended boon docking, hot water heater, cd/stereo, new tv, wifi/blue tooth dvd player, cable antenna hookup, with thermostat controlled furnace and sidewall air conditioning.

Lots of extra storage with exterior compartments accessible from inside that provide plenty of smart space for gear and essentials.

Great for weekend front country or longer backcountry off grid trips. Trailer is comfortable in all climates including winter dry camping down to -30C.

Interior shows like new, as trailer was well maintained and was only used for a few trips. Shower was only used once and bathroom was never used.

Some exterior decal fading from the sun. Everything works, well maintained unit. These pre-Thor Camp Lite units with the all aluminum roof and floor are hard to find. Grab it before it's gone.

Trailer is not showroom perfect, but a very nice example of Livin Lite's Camplite trailers

Only selling as my wife's spine has deteriorated to where she can no longer walk without assistance or get up the steps into the trailer.

Trailer is located near Kalispell, Montana

Nice😀 Are you getting the base or rover version of the Intech? I like all the windows. Let us know how it works out camping.

Well, after 10 years we are parting with our 21RBS.

We are moving up to a Intech Aucta Magnolia. This is also from the mind of Scott Tuttle, and when I saw it in person, I was blown away.

Now, if anyone is looking for a 2014 21RBS, keep an eye on Allan Dale RV as they will soon have one on the used list for sale.

Beautiful but brr. Back in the day I was a winter mountaineer.  Snowshoeing, XC Skiing, Arctic Soldier and Paratrooper.  Now in my post 60 years I have lost my joy of being cold. Got a brother in Vermont who still loves the cold but my old bones don't enjoy it anymore.

I think we all naturally gravitate to the same types of setups. Inherently it just works, and that is what we want. Comfortable camping.

Pretty nice area to serve out a posting!

Here is a current pic of our camping spot. A tad different to the sunny Keys.

Have a great camping season with your updated power system!

I was able to find the VE Shunt settings on YouTube.  The YT screen shot does not show that I set the discharge floor to 15%. 

Aware that you can't charge the LiFePO batteries below freezing.  I do not plan on camping for any extended times in below freezing weather.  I am a classic snowbird winter camper in the Florida Keys.  Usually we get one to two days of below freezing weather on the trip down.  The Navy campground has way more dry camping sites than FHUs especially since active duty military can now live in the campground for their entire tour at NAS Key West. I was dry camping for five weeks this winter and the 8 year old LE batteries couldn't keep up. 

Fan of the Bluetti too we have the AC 180 with 200 WT solar.  The AC 180 worked great for running the DC powered Starlink at night and for making toast in the morning without having to fire up the generator. 

We also recently made the conversion from our x2 Trojan 6 volt AGM batteries to lithium. Very happy to reduce our tongue weight of approximately 100 pounds as well. Noticed a very nice improvement on towing.

For our requirements a 100 AMP heated lithium battery was imperative with a VE smartshunt. Initially the LiTime product was very appealing, but their BMS required an external power supply to engage the self heating function. Ok, how much power is required? A whopping 10 AMPs! All of our camping is off grid, this will not work.

Battle Born employs a true self heating function that uses low AMPs and cycles the heating element on and off, no external power required. It also has a toggle switch that you can turn the self heating function on/off. Why have the element on during the dead of night. We just turn it on at 7:00 AM and the BMS does the rest. Works perfectly. I don't worry about our legacy electrical system providing a full charge to the lithium battery because we are never plugged into shore power, always solar. Battle Born now has an all in one system, no shunt required. I saved some money and went with the traditional smart shunt and battery. System is installed in our exterior locked battery box. IP67 ratings were also required.

Watching old DVD's on the TV, running our diesel heater 14 hours and general trailer power consumption during the night we are averaging 20 AMPs.

We also purchased a Bluetti AC 60P. All in one do it all, we leave this outside to charge our fun devices including some heated seat pads. We hardly use our Honda geny anymore, only for the microwave and oven. The Bluetti is also charged with solar as well.

Happy so far no issues.
