    Why I am so glad I bought a Campinn...

    If only people were taught the meaning and value of "due diligence" in school. The world would be so much better off.

    Camp-Inn Campground upgrades

    That actually came down in one night and was a big surprise in the morning. Never heard anything falling. That was in Yellowstone May of '25.

    Camp-Inn Campground upgrades

    I just remember you showing me how to drive through and not having to backup. I was quite relieved. LoL! Here's a couple of photos from then.

    Weather apps that work on cellphones? Other gear you use while camping for a bit of extra WX planning?

    External Solar Advice Needed

    I don't really keep up with this stuff until I'm in the market. I have an EcoFlow Delta 3 Classic and a Delta 3 Plus. Both a 1K in size. That's the sweet spot for me as far as weight/portability and power capacity. Those are what I used at home to test the Zoup 350. I also tested the panels on...

    I guess it depends on what you want in the way of info. I've taken multiple winter trips to Yosemite (no camping involved) and specifically timed it to go when snow falls in the park. Now the valley is only at 4,000 ft so while snow isn't rare, it doesn't usually stick around very long and I...

    External Solar Advice Needed

    Well, I had this all ready to post last night when the forum went down. Let me try again… I have a similar setup with a 560 with rooftop solar and the AGM battery. I seldom camp with shore power. But I do try and find campsites with good visibility to the sky. Occasionally you still run into...

    Let me know when you actually see them sold and on the road at that price, not just manufacturers talking about them. Anybody remember the $20K Maverick truck?

    Quick release propane and grill

    Theoretically speaking, I'd be careful what states you pass through in said bear protection device holder mode.

    Fridge / Cooler Electric Cooler and Bears

    I've always wanted to come back to camp and find a bear checking out the 560. No luck yet. But that's the photo I'm still chasing. For the record, I absolutely do not bait them.
