    Air Conditioner Poll: Ac Or No Ac

    We camp in the southeast and if it is in the summer always get sites with power for the A/C. We have a small 400 watt electric heater for winter and get sites with power but the rest of the time we do not care if we have sites with electric. Lowest temperature we have camped was 23 deg f and...

    Vistabule Vs Camp-inn?

    We have had a 560 for 10 years and we are considering something bigger with a bathroom. I never thought I would consider any else because I really like our camp inn, but getting old can be tough and my wife wants to be able to get dressed easier. We have a side tent that helps but now that we...

    New Member Lancaster, Pa

    We have a 560 and will be driving I 81 north on Aug 9. If you want to meet up along I 81 let me know. We will be on our way home in NEPA so we can stop somewhere along 81. We saw our camp inn the first time in a Lowes parking lot. We are camping in northern VA Aug 8 and it is the our last night...

    Alternative Water Fill

    I use the same method except I usually put the container on the back counter next to the sink. It is much easier than using a funnel.

    Seeking Tips For Refreshing Water On The Road

    We carry a 3 gallon jug that we fill if needed. Also use it to fill the freshwater tank with one of those siphon hoses that you shake up in down. Jug sits on the kitchen counter and we siphon water in to the tank. It is much easier than pouring with a funnel. We almost always dump gray tank at...

    Hypervent Vs Froli

    They do flop around and get in the way somewhat, you can still get in the storage but the pieces sometimes disconnect from each other. I found it bothersome so screwed them in and left the ones over the storage covers unhooked from the others. I waited until I was sure I was happy with the...

    560 In David Crockett Sp

    Froli is the best change we have made to our camp inn, sleep comfortably every night! It is as good as our home mattress.

    560 In David Crockett Sp

    I have Froli bed springs so I do not think putting the plywood floor under the mattress will work for me. I do use a pickup as a TV so I can put it there. I am going to try making the PVC frame first and see if it works. I want to try filling them with sand and see if it has enough weight to...

    560 In David Crockett Sp

    I found the post for the plywood base. I am not sure how to link it but I can cut and paste. Two 19 ½“ by 47” 3/4” plywood sheets are then laid on the floor and covered with a very light in/out carpet. Gear is then placed inside. In very high winds we guy wire the top of the poles to the bumper...

    I think the side tent platform is a great idea but I do not want more stuff to take up space in the cabin. My hope is the PVC pipe can be stored easily with the tent.

    560 In David Crockett Sp

    On our poles, the weight of the tent pushes the clamp down on the lower pole until the friction ring hits the lower pole and the it loses friction on the upper pole. I tried to tighten the clamp with pliers but I cannot get it tight enough. I used duct tape to hold the clamp at the top of the...

    560 In David Crockett Sp

    We met the couple at our next stop in Mammoth Cave National Park; Sharron and Doug from western WI. It was nice to meet them. When we started camping in our camp inn it was rare to see another teardrop let alone a camp inn but now it seems we see other teardrops at every campground. Our last...

    Solo Fire Pit

    My biggest issue with a smaller stove is you cannot bring firewood to most campgrounds and the wood for sale is too large to fit in the stove. I have a bioLight fire pit and many times I have to cut the wood to fit.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I had to replace my Kueregs about once a year and switched to Nespresso and I am still using it many years later. I do not use it as much as I used to because most days I use my Areopress. I used to use the Areopress only when camping and then realized I liked the coffee better when making it...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I have never cleaned my grinder. it is fairly new but the last one I had lasted over 10 yeas and I never cleaned it ether. Maybe I should read the owners manual. I grind enough for one cup of coffee at a time and if I am traveling I take my hand grinder.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I usually make a 3/4 full mug. I would rather have 2 strong cups than 1 weak one. I put the areopress on the 3 cup line and that fills my mug about 1/2 way and then I add a little hot water. It took awhile to get all the variables correct to my liking and then I tweak it depending on the coffee...
