May this trip be all you've been dreaming of for so long now! Take lots of pictures, make some great memories & just have fun! Casandra

Dena, This is a fantastic photo! I love it! I've tried to get some night time shots of our 560, but w/o much success.....largely due to I never seem to think to bring along my tripod until it's too late when I'm sitting by the campfire thinking how cool a night shot would look. :/ What...

YAAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Mary snagged the campsite she needed for Friday night of our Roundup! And I just found another one come open for Saturday night that we needed & was able to snag it! So, I think we are all good to go for the whole weekend now! :D Casandra

*********MARY!!!!!!!!!!!********** TWO campsite reservations just showed up available for Pedernales Falls State Park for Friday, May 13 of our Texan Roundup that you need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you can get online fast & snatch one of them up! Casandra

Congratulations! Your fun has just begun! That was a cold first night! Did you have/use any type of heat? Be sure to always have a window or the roof vent opened slightly for ventilation, no matter how cold it is outside.....definitely better to be a little cold than a little dead...

Thank you for taking care of us & sending along a replacement red bulb with our door handle order last week, Cary! It was so nice to have the light on again at night while camping this past weekend. :) Casandra

Haha, Mary! I've had the same thought....about just not leaving the park. I wonder if we could find a place to park our teardrops incognito? Are we planning on any organized activities, group hike, potluck, etc? Casandra

Congratulations! Have you shopped until you've dropped getting your 550 outfitted while waiting for it's arrival? What are your plans for your first adventure? Casandra

Congratulations to the new expectant campers! I wonder if it will be a boy or a girl??? ......sorry, we're leaving in the morning with our 560 girl, Ellie, for a 4 day camping weekend so I'm a bit giddy & I couldn't resist. Curious.....is/was your first CI a 550 or 560? Do you still own...

When we were spec'ing out our final options & about to order a 560, the hardest decision for us was the furnace. As a Texan, the AC is a no-brainer, but the furnace is something we'd probably never "need" but it sure could come in handy for our Alaska dream trip some day. We wrestled around...

Mary, Just thought I'd pass along some info I've been working on as a backup plan for places to stay nearby since we are in the same boat with you & don't have a reservation in the park for the whole gathering. There are two RV Parks near Pedernales Falls SP; both are in Johnson...

I can totally understand, Jay & Valerie because we bought our fantastic 2013 560 barely used (only 3 months old), but I dream of the mahogany cabin also, and the leather sofa, and those inlaid cabinet doors in the galley! Only downside I can think of.........you couldn't get a sunroof with a...

Wait! Did I miss something? What happened to Diane and Michael? Did they start this party & now they're going to stand us all up? We'll have to do something about that! Casandra

Jay, Have you camped at Pedernales before? If so, which sites are some nice ones that you have in mind? From the map, sites #7-29 look closest to the river. Do you know if you can get down to the water from these campsites or do you have to take the trail? Not sure how everyone feels...

Welcome & Congratulations! Grand adventures await you! I'm sure you will love your new CampInn just as much as we do! Camping & traveling have never been more fun, enjoyable and easy for us since we bought our 560 over 2 years ago. Hope you have a wonderful first excursion! Please post...

Whew! We had a scare. I tried booking our reservation for the Texas Camp Inn @ Pedernales back in early February, but the website was acting weird that day, and we wound up with no reservation and NO availability by the time I realized it. I've been checking the website about 15 times a day...

Thanks, Gina! That sounds like a great idea! Casandra

We camp with kids(who tend to be naturally messy) so I try to keep the couch seat covered with a beach towel that we would normally have with us anyway. After 2 1/2 years of camping with 1-3 kids, the couch still looks good. Gina......what waterproofing spray did you use? Is it something...

Wondering if using an air compressor (or can of compressed air) to blow it out might take care of most of it? If you want really clean, maybe try using a tiny brush like these to get down in the crevices of the window....... Pipe Cleaning Brushes Casandra

Frank, it's so great to see you back out on the adventure road again! Love seeing the photos & your new rig looks great! It brings back fond memories for me. When I was in elementary/middle school, my grandparents had a Ford pickup/truck camper combo that they went to Alaska in for months at...
