    Electric Folding Bikes

    I would try a fat tire bike, even if it isn't what you want, before you order. When I am home my bicycle is my vehicle for commuting and virtually all transportation. I constantly see bicyclists with fat tire bikes. I am surprised to see how much they have to gear down because of the rolling...

    Table Extension How Do You Store The Table Extender For Travel?

    I did something similar. I also prepared two wood blocks. The only difference is I didn't screw them into the table. I just used velcro on both sides. One velcro attaches to the extension and one to the table. No strap, no screw, and this results in far more stability and strength than...

    Insurance?

    Dear Dave: I understand you posted this in 2014. I talked to my state farm agent, as our cost is $332 with a $500 deductible. I noticed Cary's earlier post on a replacement value policy, and my agent said they don't exist. I am confused. We've been with state farm for 40 years and have a...

    4 Weeks In August, Mostly In Washington...suggestions?

    We really liked the national forest in the Quinalt area, which is just south of the Hoh rainforest in Olympic National Park. The Willaby campground is fabulous, for a campinn (not for a big RV).

    Wheel Lock Recommendation

    We use the Trimax also. I like that it is multi functional as a chock and a lock.

    550 / 560 Questions About The 560 Ultra For Potential Buyer

    My thoughts: 1. I have a 550, and thus cannot speak authoritatively on the 560. I just wanted to share that another option might be to have your kids sleep in a tent. We usually are out for extended periods with wide variations in weather (e.g. drive from midwest to southwest in winter...

    Kuhn Rikon Chop Chop. Great for the campinn. Can chop efficiently but also can make sauces.

    How Should I Travel From Seattle To Ft. Hood?

    I have slept in the back of the Subaru before, but it was pretty rough. I used a blow up mattress. Basically, I hated it and wasn't able to sleep: 1. You can't get the windows up or down without getting out of the car, going to the driver seat, and using the keys. 2. You can't get out of...

    Where Could I Go For A Winter Camping Trip?

    Thank you so much. The sun in the winter is so healing, and 55-60 sounds great.

    Pitted Aluminum

    Thanks so much. That's what is on my door from a drip! It was a January trip home and I took the trailer to a car wash and washed it carefully, but the drip came down from the window later. Would you use the NAPA cleaner on the drip rivulet, or would you leave it be? will the drip continue...

    Pitted Aluminum

    I'm just not sure what "pitting" means. I have one little streak where salt stayed on the campinn after a winter trip and wash (from a drip.) That streak from salt doesn't seem to want to come off. We've been trying to develop the natural oxidized patina. I don't know if that would work for...

    Where Could I Go For A Winter Camping Trip?

    Thanks Gypsy. I really have struggled figuring Florida out. I need that Dec/Jan window and I never can quite find informaton. I really appreciate it.

    Where Could I Go For A Winter Camping Trip?

    I would love to hear if anyone has some places in the Southeast for December/January. I don't mean to change the character of Katarina's post though.

    Where Could I Go For A Winter Camping Trip?

    My favorites are listed below. We can only go in December/January, so my choices are limited to lower altitude areas where the weather seems pretty reliable. E.g. to me Texas seems to be variable and I've never been able to hit the weather right.: - Catalina State Park, AZ (good hiking and...

    Water Without Sink?

    I have no memory of starting this post, but noticed it so I thought I would chime in. We went ahead and ordered the sink, but don't use it as intended. As several posters have noted, it really is about personal preference and since Campinn gives us the option, we have the best of all worlds...

    Rip Off?

    I think it is hard to tell, although there are some details that seem definitively CampInn like. The interesting thing for me is whether they should have attempted to distinguish their design a bit more from the CampInn. I have so much trust for CampInn and Cary and Craig, and the decades of...
