Hello from South Carolina

My wife and I are getting closer to making our minds up concerning the 550 Ultra SUV model. The forum here has been tremendous in making our decision, especially with the photo's of current models and those that are in production. Just wanted to say hello and I'll post some questions later concerning this model.

 

Thanks George. I grew up not far from Smithville in Columbia. Have family there and in Murfreesboro that I visit. Probably will be that way soon. I've been in email contact w/ Cary a good bit and he's been great with information as has the forum. My main question is the bedding, trying to get a feel for how it will feel sleeping on. I've searched here and read about the memory foams folks are using.

 

Jason,

I use and will use a queen mattress pad, queen size sheets and a quilt. Probably will add memory foam also.

The Camp Inn mattress is firm. It's ok, certainly not like the home mattress. Much better then the ground. I have certainly slept on worse mattresses in hotels.

Another thing, mattress comfort is porportonate to the amount of cocktails consumed.

Jean,

The ad said that they had replaced the standard ci mattress with a full size futon. Are you going to go back to the ci mattress?

If not, it would be great to get feedback on the futon once you have had a chance to experience it.

 

The futon mattress is slightly smaller then the CI mattress. Time will lead to a decision.

 

We use a queen sized futon (inner spring)mattress that we got at IKEA. We then added 2 inches of memory foam. It's fantastic! The whole lot cost us under $350.

 

Jason,
My wife and I live between Nashville and Clarksville. I have a 550. If by chance you haven't seen one yet and are in the area drop me a note. We maybe able to hook up.
Either way welcome.
Steve

 

Thanks for the offer Steve. If we get up that way and can take a look that would be great.

 

Welcome Aboard rockytopsc !!!!

Just courious have you checked out the 560 ultra ???.


Dave

 

Thanks Dave. We have but are set on the 550's looks mainly. Just sent for the official quote.

 

Jason,
We also chose the 550 based on looks. When we picked it up, we saw a 560 for the 1st time. If you can get over the looks, the interior of the 560 is very cool. After that glance, I have never given it a second thought.
Steve

 

Deb, thanks for the feedback. I was thinking about doing this when I get my 560. I hadn't thought about looking at IKEA but now I will.

 

Thanks Ken! We emailed Cary late Friday evening and requested the contract, so we're waiting for the mail

 

well took the next big step and mailed the deposit off

 

Jason & Angie,
You won't be disappointed. There is a smell to a new car. There is a smell to the new Camp-Inn. You will never forget it.
Let us know when the pick up date is,
Steve

 

Congratulations on taking the plunge, Jason & Angie!! It's a great camper. We really enjoy ours, and I know you'll love yours!

 

Thanks Steve & Ellen, Deb. Right now we're planning on 4/22/11 for the pickup.

 

Congrats Jason & Angie !!!!! We Too are awaiting the arrival of our CI 560 in Dec 2010. Excitement !!!! ANXIETY !!!!
