      No problem. Anytime. I've been working on the Amazon storefront a bit more. www.amazon.com/shop/erictennant The solar e-bike trailer is 26 items.
      Looking to add two more upgrade to the solar trailer.
      1. Replacing the light switch with 2 better switches that are water resistant. One for back lights, and other for under lighting. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEZQuIn
      2. A latch that has a spot for a lock (Security) s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dm97MZl
      Going to turn this comment into a post.

    Just finished the Katy trail across MO. It's been very hot here in the 90's. Katy trail's got shade and every 10 to 15 miles there's a rest stop with water and toilets. Its dusty however - but no traffic. I had lots of battery no solar and kept speed down 12 to 15 and all went well.

    Thanks for the Video. It must be some extrawork on an exhausting bike trip. Thanks. What cones to my mind watching your Video i often do trips with my "beloved" bike and camping gear myself and not feel lost at all but only because i do it in Germany and other euro countries where i have been before. Outside of that Zone f.e. USA i guess it would be totally different.

    This is a good showing; I have a bafang mid drive and would like to do local touring (+/- 500 miles) beginning from Southern Nevada. Eric can share the results of a bafang mid motor on long distance e-bike touring.

    You might try a *Trangia* frying pan, as it has a removable gripper. These come in regular Alumin(i)um, non-stick, Hard-anodized, and Duossal stainless lined. Two major sizes, -27 and -25. There might be others.
    The -27 is about 7 1/2 inches across, the -25 about an inch bigger.
    I have a near-complete -27 set, including regular and non-stick “fryers.”

    • @waynekaczmarek946

      I believe we're working with the aspect of having no way to keep a pan on top of a 1 inch burn apparatus

    The Arizona canal bike paths is pretty sketchy between metro center and central Ave. The puddles of water in the tunnels are sometimes not water. Just saying.

    Saw that Google Maps routed you onto a dirt road north of Coolidge, I live in Phoenix and have biked to and from Tucson a few times since 2017, I like to get on Hwy 87 near Sun Lakes and stay on the I-10 access road to Tucson. Lots of familiar scenery there, great video!

      That would rock my front is so old it can't do tubeless anymore. I will be out of town for the next week testing the 100w solar trailer up near Flagstaff. Think the 100w will fit on single track better then the 200w would.
