We're preparing for a loop road trip from the Houston area through the juncture of TX-OK-KS-CO-NM, leaving late next week. We've already booked the first couple of nights in mid-March at Possum Kingdom SP (north of Fort Worth) to start out, and a couple of nights at Caprock Canyon SP in the...

BLUF: highly recommended! In East Texas, off TX 7 between the towns of Kennard & Ratcliff. Singlehandedly built in the late 1930s by my maternal grandfather. (Not really; he had whole CCC company help him!) There is a small no-wake lake with swimming beach and fishing docks. About 12 tent-only...

I wish to thank all who participated in this thread (prior to my even knowing about Camp-Inn, no less!) about cookware. I returned home from our first trip with #864 knowing I needed to update my very old, cobbled-together camping cookware, lest I burn up the trailer with scorched pots and...

@lorieandkeith Question about your MSR heat exchanger. We got one with our msr set of pots, bought 15 or so years ago. Since we haven't had an MSR or similar stove, we have never used it, as I understood it needed to be installed so it drops down over the MSR stove's burner. Have you used the...

Slick! Tom got ours tested and running yesterday. In April, if he brings our system, we'll have to show it to you. More moving parts, but it was put together over time. ~ Diana

Jenn, I was just gonna comment on the flying child!

I'm pleased beyond measure that we arrived home yesterday from Necedah--with #864 in tow! Diana

#864 has arrived!

#864, AKA Silver Surfer, has fledged the nest and moved from Necedah to our garage in The Woodlands, TX. Camping on the way home wasn't an option; in fact, we drove out immediately after orientation to stay ahead of a winter storm that dumped a ton of snow on the region later that night. But...

Pick-up is set for January 24! Please wish us fair weather (for this time of year in Wisconsin and the Great Plains, anyway). We'll have Camp-Inn wrap the trailer for the drive south to the Land Where Deicing Chemicals Aren't Necessary, so as to preserve the finish. It does, after all, have to...

Wow, Steve! Things could have been much worse, I suppose. Glad this misadventure isn't in the big-$ column!

When our propane tank was newly filled, our furnace did that (in TWO previous non-Camp-Inn trailers). It was explained in the owners manual (of one or the other) that when the propane tank has been newly installed, as it would be if you just had it filled, there can be a bit of a lag in getting...

So many questions, Cassandra! LOL I think we'll see you in April at Inks Lake, so Tom and I can talk about Alaska until you tell us to shut up - and you'll probably want to! Suffice it to say, a driving trip from Texas would definitely take more than 2 weeks, unless you never sleep, or stop for...

Casandra, we upgraded the wheels to aluminum alloy, added mahogany, and had some artwork done on the right-hand cabinet door in the galley. The mountain is Denali, from a photo I took 2 years ago during our road trip to Alaska. We took many of the options. Notable options not taken: the furnace...

Pictures... It's really happening! Pick-up is looking like mid-late January.

Jonathan, if you attached the link to the article, it didn't post. Would be interested to read it. :-) Diana

It's obvious we may experience information overload during orientation when we finally pick up our CI. I can hardly wait for the challenge of keeping up with Cary! In the meantime, reading the posts in these forums is enlightening.

I can hardly wait to grow up and be you, Tim & Adrianne! --Diana

I agree with you, Al, that there is a learning curve for using DC power with trailers. Fortunately for Tom and I, we had the opportunity to learn (read: make mistakes) on an inferior trailer, so our Camp-Inn, when we get it, will be spared the tortures we world surely have done to it. LOL

Good to know! Thanks for posting, Greg!
