I use a Curt Echo Bluetooth Brake Controller. No real issues. Pairs with no problem, and can be easily congifured.
It did lose connection on occasion to my phone, but the controller is still active - that is, if you hit the brakes, the trailer responds. You just can't make adjustments or...
Picked up a new Sasquatch Expedition Campers "Highland 60" Trailer in Silverton, Colorado last weekend, and promptly drove it back to Kansas City.
Very lightweight (less and 2000 lbs) and easy to pull. Totally kitted out with 300 Watts Solar (100 on the roof and 200 deployable), kitchen, Shower...
I find the Cascadia system to be good for overlanding, when parked. Yes, the panels don't like heat, but I'm looking to stay topped up when off grid and doing other things, when the truck is of, and, therefore, not generating engine heat. It works well for me.
Got it. Now it looks like you got the regular Billie Bars, and not the "Gladiator" specific ones (https://billiebars.com/products/copy-of-billiebars-for-retrax-gladiator).
Is that correct? Does it matter?
Looking at this and am intrigued. Working to change my overlanding system.
So which Rock-N-Lock did you get? I like the Billie Bar set up, and this tonneau.
To get the whole set up from the get go (not changing as you did later on), what would I need?
I'm selling my Upper Decker and custom rack for it, if anyone is interested.

I'm selling my Upper Decker and custom rack for it, if anyone is interested. Pricing based on what I paid (not what a new one cost before the stopped making them).

I have an Ace Engineering (before they were bought by Steinjäger) Upper Decker hard, cantilevered tonneau cover that I am selling. It works great - I just want to go in a different direction now with my rig.
Before Ace stopped making them, the price got super high on them - but I'm willing to...
Are you still looking for an Ace Upper Decker?
I have one, in Kansas City that I'm looking to sell. And we are not THAT far away...

We did look at them at an Overland expo. I like that the Patriot X3 allows for a space to sit, inside, during incelement weather - something that the Tutrleback lacks.
Yes - they are expensive. My family is in Kansas City, and we took a trip down to Oklahome, where the U.S. dealer is, and were very impressed. Expensive, but seems like a good purchase.
I'd love a Conquerer, but they cost more (and the Ohio dealer just changed to Kimberly, I believe).
If...
I think I've changed my mind against the Opus I was considering.
RIght now, if funds support it, I am leaning towards a Patriot - they are sick (in a good way!)
Thanks - my son actually got Covid (from in person school or copmpetitive gymnastics). He was only under the weather for a couple of days (he's 9 years old). So we had 10 days for him to be isolated, but as he could not really self isolate at his age, my wife and I were continually exposed...
