    Raw Plywood On The Underside Of My 550

    Camp Inn uses marine plywood which is pretty impervious. A coating of something probably won't hurt, but I don't think it is necessary. Personally I wouldn't use linseed oil unless you like the smell of linseed oil. You would likely smell the linseed for along time.

    Things You Forgot But Wish You Hadn't

    Gas can spout. We carry NATO style gas cans to have extra fuel for boondocking. Without the spout it is impossible to get the fuel into the tank. That trip to death valley had severely restricted excursions. Stopping at several auto parts houses was no help, they had spouts for other types of...

    Inexpensive Theft Deterrent

    I think the best place to find the nut is from another jack. You can disassemble a jack to harvest the nut. I believe you can get a similar jack at Harbor Freight for $35, hopefully the thread is the same. 2.5 ton Leveling Scissor Jack

    Electric Space Heater

    A propane heater produces water as a combustion byproduct, but the Camp Inn heater vents it to the outside (along with carbon dioxide and monoxide, and other badstuff). The heat delivered to the inside is recirculated cabin air just warmed up. Adding heat to air reduces the relative humidity. In...

    Chrome Vent Above Door Window.

    It is just that, a vent. If everything is closed up, it's pretty tight, it can be hard to close the door.

    Our Trip To Yellowstone Passed 100 Nights And 25,000 Miles

    Actually, we crossed 100 nights in May, and 25K last year sometime. We picked up our 560 in September of 2014 and have enjoyed many trips close and far. Home base is in California, and most of our adventures are in California after of course the longest trek coming back from Wisconsin (the long...

    Usb In The Cabin From 12 Volts

    My 560 has a 12v outlet inside the storage compartment at the front of the cabin. I plug my phone charger in there. Doesn't the 550 have this also?

    Trimetric - on a galley door??

    My cheapo meter works well, no problems and it tells me what I need to know. I liked it well enough to get another to put on my auxiliary battery setup too.

    Fulton Swivel Jack Upgrade

    I am a firm believer that anything is possible. I personally don't like little pneumatic tires, I find my wheelbarrow is always flat when I need it. If you can find a little tire, you might try to find an airless one, or fill it with "Slime" or other airless solution. BTW, I replaced my Fulton...

    Tire Pressure

    Check out the inflation recommendation table in the middle of this page: ST Radial M8008 | Maxxis Tires USA It gives some recommendations for tire pressure for different sizes of tires and loads. I looked for a similar table for Goodyear and didn't find one, but they should be the same.

    Sighting Taking A 550 Ultra Off-road

    We have off-roaded our 560 "almost SUV" a number of times. Our almost is not quite SUV height but higher than the standard height. We have done a number of roads in Death Valley, East Mojave, Joshua Tree and other places. I am not familiar with the White Rim Trail, but my quick look at some...

    Auxiliary Battery For Refrigerator

    I added a Battery Coulometer to my battery box. I used the same one I put into my trailer as it has worked well. Installation was not too bad; I connected the meter shunt to the battery terminal with a piece of flattened 1/2" copper pipe since I didn't have a piece of copper strap wide enough to...

    Battery Status Meter Installation

    I just added one of these meters to my Fridge Auxiliary battery box. Works great there, and a lot easier to install than in the trailer.
