Size medium you think would work?
I got the size large and tried but couldn’t quick get the teeth to fully engage. Granted it was a half-assed attempt while it was 15 degrees outside, so maybe it was installer error.
I replaced my 5-gallon water bottle with a Dometic Go Hydration Jug (11L). The optional $100 Dometic water faucet pump, sold separately, seemed overpriced, so I retrofitted my existing $12 water dispenser from the previous setup to work with it. I just needed to order the compatible quick disconnect fitting and a longer hose, which cost me $16 from Grainger. I ziptied it to mock it up, but it may just stay like that for a while. I am happy with the upgrade and it took me only 10 minutes to complete the project. The Dometic water jug seems more robust, easy to fill, and packages better than the 5-gallon cylindrical bottles that are commonly seen.

Yes! Especially when driving through a headwind, and there are some strong ones here in Utah, the fairing has allowed me to keep the radio volume noticeably lower than previously at highway speeds.
Since your maybe a mountaineer - Same here - Worked for Timberline Mtn Guides / Oregon Ski Guides out of Bend for many years. I always had this idea to invent a mostly inflatable ski bike frame. Hike it up to a high peak, blow it up and rip back down.
Dreams…
For what its worth a Wildernest (classic pop up truck camper/ circa 1980s maybe) was always a dream when I was younger, now we have the modern GFC. So maybe someone smarter than I (not hard to do) can come up with a design for an inflatable ski bike…
It’s a wild mix. You need to initiate a whip and the trailing skis edge gets the slow down started. Once a little side loaded your weight naturally comes off the front ski, then it sets the uphill edge like a snowboard and assists. To get out of the slide just turn the shoulders back to the right and you’re off. Nothing like skiing. Nothing like snowboarding. Nothing like biking. But a wonderful marriage of the three!
