    Design Change Question and Poll

    Let me add one more thing. The rain water enters the cabin while we are parked not while we are traveling down the road. This only happens during heavy rain. This has happened maybe 8 times in 230 nights of camping.

    Design Change Question and Poll

    Yes, I have rain water enter my galley by running down the rear wall of the galley onto the upper shelving and into the footwell of the main cabin. Not much fun when your bed gets wet. As recommended by Craig I drilled five small holes in the aluminum channel inside both of the upper cabin...

    25,000 McNugit Miles

    Hi Jim & Jamie, Enjoyed reading your journal. Hope we can get together again soon. Thanks for sharing ideas and additions to your trailer. Sometimes I feel like I am copying you. But if it works why not! Installed dividers in the upper galley storage yesterday. Plan on adding the plexiglass...

    canoe vs kayak

    I have a Native Watercraft Ultamate14.5 fishing kayak. The boat weights 75 # and fits easily on the roof of our Outback. The boat is designed to be stable enough for stand up fishing and runs about $1000. Can be paddled solo or tandem. Good luck with your search. www.nativewatercraft.com

    Alcan Cover Alcan Cover

    Chris & Mindy here, Some times I leave the front outside storage compartment doors open but usually they are closed and locked. Most of our camping has been in cooler temperatures. I'm sure the additional insulation of an Alcan cover would reduce condensation in our our interior storage. We...

    Essential gear for pick up trip

    Sarah Nell & Robert, All joking aside, you should bring folding camp chairs, two dish pans (wash - rinse), a folding table for your dish washing station, and a pot to heat dish water. The Camp Inn sink is too small for dish washing.

    Heading to Necedah to pick up TD

    We had a great trip to Necedah. Toured the Camp-Inn facility with Marty and got to climb into # 500 and inspect #000. We had 1-1/2" of rain in Indiana. Stayed dry in the TD. No leaks! Made it back to VA without trouble. I was worried about towing the TD through Chicago but it was not a problem...

    New Pictures of 500th Camp-Inn

    A work of art. I just viewed the photos of #000 & #500. What an evolution. Now there is an American success story. We are headed to WI to pick up #527 - "Sprit". I am sure she will also be a work of art.

    Heading to Necedah to pick up TD

    Great idea. Maybe Cary will add the pontoon option someday. For now I will have to keep the TD on dry land. Christopher

    October delivery - can't wait

    Hello Aj & Michelle, I tried to talk Cary into speeding up our trailer so we could attend CICO but he said it just can't be done. I am happy to see the Virginia contingent is growing. Hoping we can all gather together somewhere in VA. A trip to Lake Gaston is on our list of places we plan to...

    Update One Month To Go

    We are viewing photos of the construction of our 550 with excitement. A month to go. Wish we join everyone at the Camp Inn Camp Out. We will put it on our list for next year. Mindy and I are experienced wilderness tent campers. The TD should be a luxurary for us. See you on the road.
