I am 5'2" and love the SUV height. The reach to the burner is a little longer then a traditional stove. For my cooking style has not been a problem. I don't plan on standing there trying to make hard candy, watching temps and stirring for a long time.

Great combination, Squeakers and spotted cow. Wisconsin is home to some great stuff.

A 500 was ordered during the last year with very little built in kitchen items. The one item that will not be negotiable is the galley arm location. A couple items to consider, do you want water/plumbing. How about LP gas line installed? How about electrical outlets? Betsey will be able...

Yes, we enjoyed bobbin' around the hill! Glad to have the deep shade with the unusually warm temps. Jean

Craig and Betsey tow with Outbacks and can provide excellant answers. Having Camped with Craig, he shares many on the road car repair stories. He is a walking encyclopedia!! (Betsey is smiling and shaking her head in agreement). I also learned a lot about knowledge levels, or maybe should...

The dometic will drain the car battery after 2 days, yes I have learned the hard way a few times. Typically I run an extension cord from dometic to a plug in. If not available, have to run car at least 30 minutes daily, which typically is not a problem because of geocaching activities.

The Dometic stays in the car always. I take a number of day trips while camping, enjoy having cold beverages, sandwhich, and snacks available. I have a tall rubbermaid tub that contains COBB grill, charcoal, and misc items that fits in the stove area. Sits on the ground while in camp. As...

Welcome to the forum and becoming a "Gonna Be". Jean

Lovely story, she sounds like any husbands dream, a wife who loves building! Jean

Stuff like Screen Doors and Galley Wind Screen are things I expect my wife will want to make. She loves to sew, so I am guessing that will be part of her own personal touch she will want to add. Of course she also loves woodworking and has already asked if she could help build it...she has her...

Bob and I enjoyed a wonderful long weekend on Minnesota Lake Superior shore base camping from Grand Marias Municipal campground. Early August I made a reservation for site 165 for 2 nights. Upon arrival decided we wanted to stay for 3 nights. Campground gave us an option of 2 non-reservable...

There is no light bulb of any sort in the fantastic fan. The vent cover is semi transparent, which lets the sunshine in. Also if the vent is open, the sun can really shine in, thus some may need to put curtains over the vent. The sunshine can be annoying when a person want to take a nap or...

True about being out and about the fan will close itself, what is annoying in the middle of the night, then have to set in manual mode. Yes, rain happens in the middle of the night, and have had to close when in the manual mode. So I operate it on manual mode, do not use the rain sensing...

I will answer as a person who has owned 2 550 CampInn's. Must Haves: Fantastic Fan: in both models. Absolute requirement! There are many places to cut costs, but the Fantastic Fan is not the place. 2008 was the traditional Fantastic fan. 2012 has the rain censor, which to me is annoying...

My opinion the Paha Qua Cottonwood shelter, even with sides, would not be my choice in cold season camping. Only because the unattached sides do not form a complete seal on any of the sides. The Cottonwood is different then the screen room. I have seen a screen room, it is nicely made but...

The Northern Breeze is a 3 season tent, great for Winter, Spring, and Fall. I do not use in the summer, it holds in the summer heat, especially if in the sunshine. It is very hot in the summer even with the side walls rolled up. Two end walls/screen can be rolled up, to help breeze flow. I...

Teardrop #1: purchased used SUV option: must have Came with a side tent, which I sold. I added: hitch, stereo and speakers, TV antenna port. Did not have: AC, which is the reason I sold #1. Did not have brakes. I purchased a Dometic fridge, IMO a must have! Teardrop #2: Debated if I...

The 550 has two under bed storage areas. The curbside bin is sized to hold a full sized spare tire along with a few tools. The street side storage area is slightly smaller in size, same depth. Due to frame construction, the bins are separate. Copied from Camp Inn website: 550 model...

Gonna Be's and all campers are welcome to the CICO! Hope you can come, Betsey and Craig sponsor a wonderful event. Jean
