    Northern Breeze Shelter

    My Northern Breeze came yesterday and I successfully put it up by myself. Thanks for the great tip about the dog collar because looping those elastic loops over the last hook was the only real trouble I had!

    February–April, 2014 Travels

    Just noticed your bikes back there - do you have any problems with them being between the Outback and the CI? Also what kind of rack are you using ? We were told by the rack people that we could use the kind that ties down on the hatch because of the spoiler on our 2013 Outback but it looks like...

    Trailer speed

    When we picked up our CI last September I was amazed how quickly we got used to driving around 70mph on those ling lonely roads home. It was not until I got back to CA where it has to be 55 mph did I realize what a HUGE impact driving over 55 did to the number of miles I got out of my tank...

    Newbie Greetings From Michigan !

    I am sure if you contact the folks at CI they will find you one to rent. I think that they have rentals at the factory actually. If it is any comfort to your wife- I am extremely claustrophobic and I have no trouble in the 550. I think it has something to do with the windows in the roof as...

    Shark Hide Application

    We brought our 550 Ultra home last September. It had a few marks on it so we decided to Walbernize it - turns out for neophytes like us it was not so easy and we did a terrible job. Eventually we managed to make it look respectable but not the shining wonder we had hoped for. We have not been...

    Backing up

    Well it takes me under 30 minutes to get it into the driveway now and that is progress! Honestly the best thing I did was take to an empty parking lot one day and practice - I think it takes time and we still look for camping sites that we can drive through or at least there is fair amount of...

    I would suggest you get the ones from Home Depot if you have one - I just sent the ones from Amazon back - they were very heavy with metal hooks.

    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    Re: Rafters for REI Alcove For anyone who is the process of looking for these bungees - the ones I ordered from Amazon came today. They are very heavy and have metal hooks - the ones from Home Depot look much better. I'll be returning the Amazon ones.

    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    Re: Rafters for REI Alcove OK - my real question is where did you buy them? I can only find assortments around here and that only includes a couple of big ones

    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    Re: Rafters for REI Alcove I'm looking for the 24" bungee cords to make rafters on my REI Alcove and having a difficult time finding them in anything but an 'assortment" which makes it difficult to get enough. I'm thinking of buying the bungee by the yard and making them. Those who have it -...

    Locks for trailer hitch

    OK That makes sense. No this is for the Teardrop. If I use Lug nuts I probably only need one?

    Locks for trailer hitch

    Looking at buying this lock on Amazon and there are two types - one is the Tire Claw XL Lock #491KA and the other is Tire Claw XL lock "491 - does anyone know the difference? The second one is slightly cheaper and eligible for Prime. Also has anyone purchased the lug nut protector or will it...
