It would probably do better in the snow than the Nova would.

Sounds like a good idea.
I will be really cold though
Nova does rather well in the snow, it needs a windshield too though.

You just really like wearing goggles. 
Yeah sort of they would go back on but if I did and put it out in the trailer I could not get out of the truck, unless I crawled out the back.
I would have to take off the mirrors also.

Took out Twink tonight. Batteries rather dead, charged them for a bit got it to fire up. Ran it for awhile then got dressed warmly and took it for a ride down to the gas station put some gas in her.
Kenalee came with me I even let her drive.
It was snowing and the roads were snow covered she kept telling me to stop going sideways.

I need to figure out a way to get a working trickle charger out in the shed that has no electricity.

Solar powered model?
China freight to the rescue. Pretty sure they have solar powered tricklers intended for campers/generators.
Keeping the snow off the cell would be harder but you can figure out something. Maybe mount it to the side of the reefer and put a little awning over it but high enough to not block the sun.

What if I plugged it into the inverter ? would it be like a perpetual charger.........................
That's funny. I had a guy bring me his camping trailer because it was broke. Said it had electrical issues. The battery would not stay charged.
He was plugging the electrical cord into the inverter. Saved him running it to the house. I just about fell over laughing.

So on Tuesday had the day off weather wasn't to bad went out to start truck, batteries dead. So put them both on a charger got them to 100% went to start it no go. So going to wait until a bit later in the year, warmer, and drag it out of the trailer see if they are dead dead or just dead.
They have been rather good to me seven years in the truck and very abused.
Got three more so not to worried about it.

Letting a batt get below 10.5 is the start of death for them
7 years is a long time for a battery in such a vehicle, even in cars 5 years is a good life span.
I am on year 10 with my red top. I will have to bite the bullet soon and replace mine. I'm to the point where I have to charge it every time I want to use it.
What battery are you running right now?

Two red tops both I got used and one I have melted one the positive terminals off they are dual terminal ones. So not hurting my feelings to bad. I will try and save them but they may be dead.
They both died last winter too but brought them back.
Are those just exhaust clamps holding those ammo cans to the bar?
Yes they are
