Gawd, Texas and California are big states! Just back from a solo and somewhat rushed outing from Houston to California to see my only grandson (who probably inherits the 560 Ultra some day if he behaves himself). Friggin' 4,000 miles round trip in just over a week. Only scenic stopover was a...

Craig Lancaster is a one-time newspaper colleague and a talented published author. He's just starting his journey in (more or les) full time travel trailer living. Not a Camp-Inn or a teardrop. But a good read and good, familiar topics and considerations. The Weighting Is the Hardest Part*, Part 1

Having a look at Anker's C2000 solar generator. On paper, specs indicate it can power a small RV or home refrigerator sufficiently. Thoughts on using it off grid to run the Camp-Inn air conditioner? Andy ifs, ands, or buts as far as the electrical system and how it would be hooked up? If a hard...

Certainly didn't need but it was kinda too damn cute (and well made) to resist. Isobutane or propane (with adapter) lantern. Got it on sale for $29. (The leather cover is an accessory.) More an ambiance thing than a key function thing.

Excited for my first proper extended trip in the 560 Ultra. Houston to Big Bend for about 10 days. Probably 1400 miles when complete. Split campsites between full primitive (my preference) and the developed Chisos Basin Campground (water and showers but no electric). It'll be a hotty during the...

This was a short (four nights) but locationally interesting work trip/commute. Had to spend four days in Austin for a training visit for our company. But wanted to use the Raindriop. Turns out McKinney Falls State Park is basically in the Austin city limits near the airport on the east side...

Maybe a better way of doing this, forum-wise, but came across this older-than-dirt 2011 post and thread -- and even for today's new buyers or prospective buyers, I've not read a better argument for Why You Should Feel Great About Choosing Camp-Inn. By way of small comparison: I seriously...

Was surprised and tickled to discover my old Iwatani 35FW butane stoves slides PERFECTLY into the bottom of the 560 galley storage bay. (Great secondary stove with 15,000 BTU solid brass burner, btw)

I think this is the one currently on Vistabules. But wondering if it would be easily mountable on the Camp-Inn frame? https://www.arkcorporation.us/products/xo350r-ratchet-style-trailer-jack

This being National Retro Day (who knew?), seemed as good a time as any to wonder aloud about this. Treading gently here as I don't think Camp-Inn has anything like a business challenge or a problem to solve. But I've wondered at different points whether certain things hold back potential...

I know there are a variety of posts (and religious beliefs!) where "best" shelters are concerned. Have been looking at Quick-Set by Clam -- but damned if I can get clear picture on which, if any have secondary entrance. (Their customer service dolt swears none of them do. But I can point out a...

My wife Rosana and I are thrilled to join this community after purchasing 560 Ultra No. 786 down here in the Houston area. (Thank gawd it has air conditioning!) Have followed this excellent forum for a couple of years while doing my teardrop research. Great people and lots of great information...
