Build My Mountain Bike Hauler

Looks pretty good Dave. I hope you get it all sorted and offer them up because you're right, we need a more economical solution.

Functional.

I'd recommend some sort of metal rod in the hinge and magnets to keep it closed.

I have the billet one from Australia, expensive as hell.

with a flip like that I expect a blade to pop out. Looks good! Agreed with the above comments on metal hinge pin and magnets.

 

[davegonz]

I made pockets for the magnets. For the metal hinge pin suggestion, I really wanted to avoid any additional processing (reason for the print-in-place hinge).

Dig it! I'm in.

I installed the latest print. I had some print issues in a non-visible area behind the cover and will also need to adjust the mounting holes (will slot one side). I'll run it for a bit along with my fridge and battery pack and will make updates as I go.

That looks sweet!

What would you mount? Trying to get an idea on the different variants.

Solar input
12v out
Air couple
And maybe a propane couple

P.s. If there are options I would like just a blank canvas with no holes

 

[FJBen]

I think a blank one would be a good option because everyone probably has different ideas. I would use power 12v , couple types and maybe air but who knows. Camp ciggy holder?

 

[davegonz]

I'll make a blank variant with no shore power plug. The shore power plug is big and takes up a ton of room.

besides those shore power people are loud and congregate in large groups

Here is how mine is setup

Good idea on the solar input. Just need to see what type of connectors can be mounted in the available space.

 

[RHINO]

Alot of options, the mini Anderson is popular like Elbee posted but I just use the simple SAE connectors, which are both viable in that space

 

[davegonz]

Yeah, that's the one that would be easiest to implement.
