40 days ago this was our rough road trip plan,
Today after towing 5000 miles, we're making a family stop in Illinois before completing the loop. Such an incredible journey full of memories. This time of the year we were able do it without any planning, making reservations just 2 or 3 days ahead. Here are all the places where we have camped.
Hello fellow campers
We're fulltimers in a travel trailer currently powered with a 200AH AGM battery from Renogy.
We have the trailer OEM WFCO charger (standard, no lithium setting), 400w of solar with a 30A charger, and a 20A DC to DC charger.
I'd like to replace the AGM battery with a 200Ah Plus LiFePO4 Battery, doubling usage capacity, and using our current setup.
Will the solar and/or the DC to DC chargers will suffice to top off the lithium battery or should I change the trailer charger or just add let's say an individual charger like the IP22?
My 2018 stock battery has died (SR5 flex fuel), is the Interstate from Costco a good candidate or should I stick to the Toyota one?
A quick Google search tells me the following:
//
- Opt for the Bilstein 4600s if: your truck is at stock height, you drive mainly on the highway, you do towing, or you prioritize ride comfort.
- Opt for the Bilstein 5100s if: you have installed (or plan to install) a lift or leveling kit, you use larger tires, you regularly go off-road, or you are looking for maximum durability.

I am currently running the stock 4600 models; with 143,000 miles on the odometer, I am considering replacing them.
For those of you who do towing: which shocks do you use? Feel free to mention other brands.
We made it, we are settled at Mammoth Campground, we'll try the Lamar valley tomorrow morning .
