    Olympic North West 5 Weeks

    We arrived in WA today staying at Timberlake campground above the Columbia Gorge near Stevenson. A nice treed quiet place. The day was dry so we kept our windows open a 1/2" like Jenn suggested and everything is dry. Will be here 3 days so we can rest up from the cross country drive. A glass of...

    Olympic North West 5 Weeks

    Jenn, you are right. Pulled the mattress out when we arrived in Spokane - puddles under it. Happy to have a dryer close by and tape to prevent future events till we get the new drains at Camp Inn. All big big rigs got a looky look with all are gear spread out -- not too many comments.

    Olympic North West 5 Weeks

    Jenn thanks for the detail on the vents. We never had this problem before but we have never been in that kind of wind and rain and driving through a foot or so of water it was crazy! The curtains were wet half way up. We are in Livingston MT tonight and it looks like we will get up to rain in...

    So we left MN today headed to KOA near Midland, SD. Near Worthington Mn the cell phone screamed a tornado alert. The sky turned green and swirling oh my gosh wind, downpours, hail, ponding on the road, highway flooded so detoured - but here we are safe and sound and happy in our Sweet Retreat in...

    Roof-mounted Solar Shower

    Wow I like the chicken food protector. That would make a good bird food protector. We have raccoons that visit and just recently found some new 36" deck swinging hangers or I would be thinking about a winch. SwingArmUSA.com

    Update The Long Wait Is Finally Over

    Pat, When we first got our teardrop I dropped the galley on my arm and had a nasty bruise for a while - it happened because I was think about something else and was not paying attention - I now have a rule when attending to the galley -- no multi-tasking. Have fun on your trip across the...

    What are you leaving Behind or Re-organising

    This is not particularly leaving behind but our first trips I wanted certain things like Kleenex, aspirin, sunscreen, etc wherever I might be when I wanted them: van, cabin, galley it was crazy I found myself going to the one place I knew they were even if they were right where I was at the time...

    Northern Breeze Shelter

    Jamie good story! We put our Northern Breeze up in the yard last Saturday as we wanted to be sure we could still do it. It went well except I creamed my thumb pulling the elastic over the hook on the forth corner. After bleeding a bit I came up with a small dog collar put it in the elastic...

    Newbie Greetings From Michigan !

    Welcome Tom n Jules, my friend that I camp with is claustrophobic too. But not in our 550. I think besides the windows it is the curve of the roof. It is very natural feeling not like a box. Camp Inn does have rentals and you can camp right on their land or there are several campgrounds near.

    Trailer speed

    Interesting we never thought that we might need to follow the truck speed. Tough enough to remember to go to the truck side of the rest stops. Thanks for the heads up Frank you may be saving us a ticket.
