That is the problem the 8" in front of the door. The water will sit there until it can seep through under the door

I like that idea.
Shop update, woohoo got a empty drawer in my tool box, and another going to be more empty.
Have to build a counter top for it but for the most part it is done enough.
That's on my to-do list.
Truck update
New steering wheel

I could get real fancy and paint the Chevrolet tan .

So another truck update.
I took off the stock A/C which I had been using as a on-board air air compressor. It still worked just took forever to fill the tires not because it did not have enough pressure it had plenty almost to much, it would pop the pressure bleeder and then you had to pop the hood and reset it and it became a general pain. Truck had to be running etc.
Josh Ashman had a Milwaukie portable compressor that worked great. Used it in Sand Hallow and it worked fine. I have nothing battery powered in Milwaukie except a coat and it takes different batteries. So If I went that way it would have been around $500.
So what did I do you ask ? I bought a Dewalt portable air compressor. It was $100 or so. I have a bunch of those batteries figured it would work out fine. Used it to fill three of four car tires, even just filled all the trailer tires. Works great. Put it on Twinkie to fill one of the 42's, um yeah, killed a big battery, before it even got done and took forever like 30 minutes. So not going to work. Had to go a different direction.

Works great you can inflate all four at once or deflate all four at once. Took ten minutes maybe to inflate them all to 30psi from 12psi. Deflate was like 5 minutes.

I use a different manufacturer but similar concept. Game changer and usually gets all 4 tires within a couple of psi of each other. Way better than doing them individually.
I didn't see a compressor included in that link. Was the whole set up $200?
First link he posted above it is an air compressor.
The first link is the compressor at $289 then the other link is the multiple outlets manifold and hoses for another $209 for the full size setup.
So $500 total if you want the whole experience
and it is totally worth it.
There are a bunch of companies basically ripping off MORRflate's design like that.
It is nice to air up multiple tires at one time. I set mine up to just do 2 tires at a time since I run the rears at a lower pressure than the front. Plus it's less hose to deal with.

Trailer and Twinkie update
First the trailer
welded on some D rings. Had the rear straps around the bottom of the trailer. Worked great until I went into the Archway Inn parking lot and the trailer bottomed out the little hill that they have there, yay ground the straps right off. Did a D ring in the front to tie the body down, yes there is a plate on the bottom under the wood. The winch plate was not liking the strap being attached to it any longer.
