I also have the same grinder and use an areopress. I have it set to 4.75. I used to have it coarser but with the beans I have now, I like a little finer grind.

I retired in June but still consult when needed so I have slowly slid into retirement. It really hit home when the holidays ended and nothing changed with my daily routine. I just setup our first retirement trip. Going slowly from Pennsylvania to Alabama in April/May to see grandkids and then...

We have two 50 watt rigid solar panels from Goal Zero. I mounted an old Yakima roof basket to the 560 roof rack and cut part of the basket out so the roof fan cover can open up. I added a panel to cover the hole when traveling and we carry solar panels and canopies on the roof rack. The basket...

I use a Biolight FirePit for campfires. It has a rechargeable battery powered fan to make it burn hotter. I like it but think the solo stoves are probably better in the long run. The nice thing about it it it packs up fairly small and I keep it in a plastic storage box in the back of my pickup...

I got the queen size and used the extra for the couch. I was one short so left the middle one at the foot of the bed out. We will never notice it missing.

I have looked at VB online but never seen one in person. My biggest concern is the location of the A/C. We camp in the southeast and we would not want to camp in the summer without having A/C. If you do not need it I think a VB would be a viable option. The A/C unit is mounted low and looks like...

I have taken part in several coffee ceremonies in Ethiopia. They roast and grind the coffee and then make cowboy or camp coffee while sitting in a circle talking about politics, life, or gossip. The ceremony takes 2-3 hours and they make 3 pots with the same coffee grinds. The third round is to...

I use a Porlex Mini stainless steel but there are others that probably work just as well. This one partially fits inside the areopress so it takes up less room. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044ZA066?tag=sol990-20&geniuslink=true

I am an aeropress fan. There are lots of videos online on different techniques on how to make a cup of coffee. Trial and error until you find the best technique for you. I use an adjustable hand grinder to grind the beans really fine, put them in the areopress with the plunger in at the 3 cups...

When I had mine done it looked like it was a visual inspection. After he filled it and gave it back he said it would be ok if I sanded the rust spots of and repainted. I will have to paint around the sticker that says it is good for 5 years...

We went to a propane dealer to recertify our tank.

I have a brand new never opened Trimax Wheel Chock Lock and I am afraid to put it on my wheel. The first one came with the trailer and was hard to open so I bought a new one. After a few years the second did not open and I called the company for recommendations on how to get it off my wheel and...

If you install the Froli the couch seat will be lower in the flat position. I do not need the couch as a bed extension so it was not an issue that they are not at the same height. I ordered the queen Froli kit so I had extra Froli pieces and I put the pieces under the couch cushion so it makes...

We store it in a storage facility not far from the house so you can come anytime, but once in storage we will need flashlights to look at it or I can pull it out. I remove the battery so the inside lights will not be operational but you can lay on the bed and I can setup the kitchen and so you...

We are not too far from you if you want to take a look at a 560. I am getting ready to put it away for the winter so let me know if you want a look. We are about half way between Binghamton, NY and Scranton, PA. I pass near Horseheads a few times a year, sometimes with our trailer. I am on a...

I have an outdoor blanket that is water proof on one side and it has straps and hooks to hold it to a tent floor. I added a couple of loops to the floor at the foot of the bed to keep the bottom in place and tuck it in at the top of the bed. Works well until we are in bed and then if the dogs...

We have added a second dog and it is tight. The 560 is great with 2 people and 1 dog or 1 person and 2 dogs but 2 dogs and 2 people does not work well. Our older dog does not want to share the couch with the new dog so the new one sleeps between us and I always worry I will roll on her legs. A...

I screwed a couple of rare earth magnets to the bottom of the table to hold the extension to the table when traveling. It takes some force to remove the extension so it does not move at all going over bumpy roads. I used a hole saw the same size as the magnets to make round standoffs to raise...

We have one but I am not sure where it is or what is the length. The people we bought our trailer from used a hitch extender so they could carry their bikes on a rack between the tv and trailer. We do not need it so we never used it. I will see if we have it here in PA, if not, it is in storage...

I started by leaving the Froli unattached and it mostly stayed together when accessing the storage bins. I would have to reattach a piece half the time, it was not a big deal but I also used stainless screws to attach the Froli base to the deck. I have the sections attached to each of the...
