    Charging Upgrade

    I’ve I’ve had good experiences at my local Batteries Plus. Guess it mostly depends who is working.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I had a Marantz amp just like the one on your lower left shelf in the pic. I gave it to a friend last year before realizing that it is collectible.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    We keep our Dometic in our tow vehicle and power it with the 12v plug until we have AC at a campground. An extension cord through the side window with a garbage bag draped in and over the upper door channel before closing in case of a rain shower. We use the CI cooler in the galley for all our...

    Tripod Torch

    I agree; having spent some time with Sweeney and his wife; they are really good people! I look forward to his review on the torch as well.

    WANTED 550 Classic Or Ultra In The Southeast

    Hi Mary, Good value campers do come up time to time. But the ones priced fairly go fast. Best to check the forum everyday. I see you are in GA and if you plan on camping in the SE USA; I would recommend getting the AC. It helps when dealing with the humidity and those warmer days.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    We pulled the autobrake fuse underneath the controller which was mounted on the aft wall of the lower right galley area. Disabling it made a huge difference on the parasite draw from the battery. Much easier than trying to disconnect the wiring harness.

    Outdoor Shower Mat

    I believe the singer was Dan Tyminski of Alison Krauss and Union Station. One of my favorites I have watched them in five states.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    It’s a bit hot at 84 degrees in San Juan for checking out the forts and Old San Juan. Headed to St. John’s tomorrow, and south from there until arriving in Manaus, Brazil on the Amazon a week from now. The density of the insects on the Amazon are legendary.

    Possible New Buyer 560 Ultra

    We recently purchased the G5 with 3 wind walls on Black Friday for $179 including shipping. Having owned two Clams, I find the Gazelle superior in construction. The waterproof rating is superior then the Clam. The poles are thicker and appear to be stronger. The tent stakes are quality. The...

    Camping/hiking Gear? Help!

    Marmot Tents and sleeping bags are my favorites. Big Agnes for insulated pads. REI does have some good tents. Their Quarterdome is my favorite.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    A quick estimation would be close to 85%. Other destinations include GA, SC, and NC. Hope to expand the travels once Terri retires in a few years. 30% are by myself at the moment, which I enjoy just as much.

    Kelty Sideroads Awning

    I’m camping at Salt Springs in the Ocala National Forest and setup my new Kelty Backwoods Shelter for the first time. I must say I’m very impressed. The poles are heavy duty for a side awning. Setup was easy; I just put it up on the side of our 560 and secured it to the frame on the other side...

    Dimmable Goose-neck Usb Lamp And Clamp For The Cabin

    This was my solution for more lighting. It’s a solar puck, and rechargeable by USB also. Just string them around the handicap bars and the puck rests on the front shelf behind the sofa. The puck separates in the middle and the string of lights wind around inside of it for storage.

    Terri cooked our Turkey in her new Ninja Pressure Cooker with an Air Fryer option while camping at Silver Springs. She used the air fryer feature at the end of the cooking cycle for a crispy skin on the outside while keeping the inside moist. That is sage on top of the turkey breast.

    Wanderinglabs...landing Spot To Continue From Here:

    Salt Springs located in the Ocala National Forest in Central Florida is one of our favorites and has a large number of walk-up sites. It’s never an issue to get a site on the walk-up ones if you arrive during the week. Weekends are another story. This may be a good option for you. BTW, it’s a...

    Update We Did It!

    I believe the only color option is just the frame; not the aluminum sides. Not many people seem to change the color of the frame.
