HOOKING UP THE TRAILER
The 7-pin trailer harness provides connection to your vehicles
turn signals, brake lights, running lights, brake control as well
as provides power to your trailer. The connections in the
trailer plug are according to industry standard, refer to wiring
details section C of this manual to confirm this matches your
vehicle connections and for additional information on optional
charging wiring/configuration. Note that the trailer high mount
tail light is NOT wired as a brake light as per Transport Canada
requirements.
Your trailer is equipped with electric brakes; ensure you have a
compatible brake controller and sufficient gauge wiring in your
tow vehicle for a single axle two brake system (refer to your
vehicle and/or brake controller owner's manual).
Attach the emergency brake away switch cable to the tow
vehicle as illustrated in Fig 1.3. Note your breakaway backup
battery requires shore power to charge/recharge.

DOOR OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
Expedition and Pando Models: Your Off Grid Trailer is equipped
with RV grade side entry doors. Depending on model purchased
you may have either of the following versions below.
Ref. Fig 2.1 & Fig 2.2
VERSION 1:
Single stage primary latch system - ensure Deadbolts are
engaged while travelling.
VERSION 2:
Dual stage primary and secondary latch system - ensure primary
door latch is engaged to ensure full seal. The latch is equipped
with a secondary safety mechanism. Door must be fully closed
on both latch mechanisms. This door is also equipped with a
safety system to allow emergency latch cable access for exit in
the event the latch cable / mechanism fails
Maintenance: Trailer inspection is key to ownership of an off
road trailer. Door maintenance including window, seal, latch,
hinges, and overall assembly inspection is crucial.
TOWING YOUR TRAILER
Towing a trailer requires an adjustment for the extra weight
and size of the combined tow vehicle and trailer unit, both on
and off road. Ensure your trailer load is distributed evenly with
sufficient tongue loading with the limits of both your trailer
and tow vehicle, this will help ensure safe travel as well as
help prevent trailer sway.
As there are added challenges in towing a trailer over just
driving a vehicle on its own, it is recommended additional
resources and/or instructions are used to ensure safe towing.

Questions and answers
Hi, Can you tell me how the tongue weight of a 2022 Expedition 2.0 is determined & published to be "290 lbs"?? I put a scale under the point where the trailer pins to my Jeep, on the Max Coupler, and put all the tongue weight on it, it reads closer to "400 lbs". This is w/ the trailer completely unloaded and w/ the spare tire removed from the front mount. That is a pretty big discrepancy. Maybe w/ the water tank full, (which it wasn't when I weighted it), it puts more weight on the back of the trailer, balancing it better, and lifting some off the tongue?? Thanks in advance.
The tongue weight of the 2022 OFF GRID TRAILERS Expedition 2.0, published as 290 lbs, is determined based on the trailer's design and load distribution. It is specified on the trailer certification label, which is located on the left side of the trailer on the A-frame/tongue. This label provides key weight ratings, including tongue weight.
