Yeah. I actually spent 5 nites in a KOA in Rapid City. I had to wing it coming home since I couldn't know ahead of time exactly when I would get the trailer and when I would be where. As it turned out that was a serendipitous choice. Staying in one place and driving a hub and spoke route each...

Just an FYI, I've booked Yosemite Valley campgrounds for the spring for the last 10 years in row. It's true, Yosemite is not an easy place to book but it's doable if you're willing to put time into the effort. Don't expect to log in that morning for the first time. There are some tips and tricks...

Hey Sweeney, I just realized something. On my trip home from picking up my 560 I spent a day visiting the Badlands which was really nice. I'd like to go back again. I also took a photo of Crazy Horse from the fire lookout in Custer State Park. That's another place I spent a day and really...

I can attest to that. When I had mine wired I went to a few places who were supposed specialty shops but conversations with them led me to think otherwise. I ended up at a one man shop who took over the business from his father many years ago. He knew what he was doing and showed me before I...

Unless the Ridgeline has a built in 7 pin you will either have to wire it yourself or hire somebody to. When I had my Rav4 hitch installed and wired, the backup lights were wired correctly to the trailer. But I think it's pretty uncommon because the guy who did it for me does a lot of trailer...

Thank you! I try. ;-)

You're welcome. Let us know what you decide. I'd like to get out to some of those places and areas again.

I’ve done some hotel and tent camping in Utah prior to getting my 560. I can offer up some general ideas. There is some forest service camping including Duck Creek campground in the area of Duck Creek. Very pretty and not too far from Bryce if you wanted to drive there for a day. Not an area...

I only have home internet service (no cable, dish, or other) and because of that the cable company charges me $85/month and seems to raise the fee too often for my taste. A couple years back I looked into Verizon home internet which has been advertised for $50/month. What I found out was that...

I was at Capital Reef in the fall and I just remember they had something going on where you could pick your own apples from trees near the campground if I remember right. They even supplied poles for reaching and snagging the apples. Wish I could remember the story behind that. Here's a random...

On my trips to Yellowstone and Grand Teton I always bring enough clothes to only need to do laundry once. I like doing laundry at Colter Bay. But I actually prefer driving to Signal Mountain for their showers. They are much bigger than Colter Bay and are completely private with a lockable door...

Based on those photos you definitely should not buy the extension you linked to above. The one Dustin linked to is what you need.

Thank you.

I've been to Moab a few times but always stayed in a hotel. I've been wanting to go back for a while now but haven't yet. The parks in that area are just beautiful.

I have a 1UP bike rack that I use. It tows nicely behind the 560 and it tows just on the car for local riding. I purchased a ramp for the rack which is worth it's weight in gold for transporting my 55 lb ebike. Whether behind the 560 or just behind the car, it's very convenient rolling the bike...
