    Where are you going in 2026?

    I thought I'd throw this out there to see where people may be going and perhaps to inspire others. This morning I booked the Lower Pines Campground in Yosemite Valley for the last week of April. From mid May through the first week of June I will be splitting time between Mammoth Campground...

    Electric bike

    I take one camping on some trips just to get around the grounds and short legal roads. Be aware there are limitations on the class of e-bikes allowed as well as where they can or cannot be ridden in national parks and forests. As a general rule ebike with throttles are much more restricted than...

    Announcement If We Make It To December…

    It reminds me I should probably head back there again. It’s Tuttle Creek Campground on BLM property in the Alabama Hills of the Eastern Sierra. I’ve used it as a final overnight on the road when returning home from my trips to Wyoming and Idaho. It’s beautiful there.

    Fridge / Cooler New portable fridge options for Camp-Inn

    I'm not sure anybody can tell you that but if you compare the specs on them to the Dometic that used to be offered through CI, that should tell you. That Dometic fit right to the edge. No extra space.

    About those solar generators

    My Victron built in solar charger requires cellular for app firmware updates but it works on Bluetooth anywhere. And firmware updates can be delayed without interfering with its usage.

    About those solar generators

    I'm not a big fan of the Ecoflow solar panels. Although I'm not familiar with the Anker panel it looks to have a 16 bus bar panel which is a better and newer technology and may pull in a few more watts in the same conditions. Additionally, The Anker sogen is their latest generation whereas the...

    About those solar generators

    Those are kilowatt hours not amp hours. But maybe a 2 KWh one could do the job for you? They aren't much more $$ than the 1KWh ones but weigh about 45 lbs vs 25-27 lbs for the 1KWh unit. If you don't plan to carry them around for camping 2KWh might be a good deal.

    About those solar generators

    Yeah, the improvements in the technology since I bought my first sogen and solar panel 5 years ago are pretty remarkable. Learning what does and doesn’t work for you is also pretty helpful. ;-) I ended up buying a 350 watt portable solar panel the other day because it is so much better than the...

    First 27 nights: Some questions and impressions

    Regarding the door locks, one of mine quite locking on a trip earlier this year. After discussing it with Cary, the fact was, the only solution was to replace the whole mechanism which are only sold in pairs. Since the inside locks work fine and since I don't lock the outside doors at camp...

    About those solar generators

    It's not surprising that the prices keep coming down as the technology evolves. Something you wouldn't have bought a couple of years ago can now be cheap enough that its current price is worth it just for the convenience alone. At these prices, I decided a second 1Kwh unit is convenient for me...

    About those solar generators

    I probably have more of them than I need. But it's Black Friday and I'm sitting in front of a computer. What could possibly go wrong??? LoL! Last year about this time I bought a 1KWh Ecoflow Delta3 Plus for $600 which was a good deal. I used it this year and it works great. This year I didn't...

    2,400-watt solar generator -- running the AC?

    Just remember almost all campgrounds have quiet hours relative to gas generators. You won’t be able to run that past certain hours.

    Mounting prodigy brake controller on 560 Ultra.

    I've used a Curt Echo since June of 2021. Simple to use. Never had a problem.

    12 volt ac??

    Trying to get acceptable A/C without shore power is kinda like trying to turn lead into gold.
