    Hello from Wine Country, Northern California

    Welcome from Arizona. This time of year I'm envious of those that can easily escape the heat.

    Lithium Battery

    My CampInn 560 is 10 years old, # 752 built in 2015. I wanted to upgrade to LiFePO4 system for sometime. I live in the Phoenix area, but had a Family Reunion trip this year at the Black Hills. So, my trip was expanded to include a visit to the Mother Ship in Necedah. To me it was very much worth...

    Finally! :)

    Thanks for the history of the early development of the 560, Betsey. Gosh has it been since 19 April that I signed on?

    Tables Rear Folding Table

    Photos below show showed position of table extension and camping hardware used. The table extension is attached to the trailer frame, behind and under the propane tank (left photo). There are two clamps (right photo shows the detail of one), stamped GH-201-B (you can find on Amazon...

    Roof Rack Mounting Details

    I cannot advise on how to install the roof rack, because I drove to Necedah to have mine installed by the experts. One thing I did realize after the fact, is the Yakima crossbar length does make a difference. Originally I ordered 60" JetStream crossbars. These fit the towers (right on), with...

    Trailer Dolly

    I forgot to mention you must drill holes into the frame. And yes the Trailer Valet does fit. Somewhere I'm sure there is a photo of it in the up position, but can't locate it just now. I've had the Trailer Valet since 2016 and over 30,000 miles. Also, you can see where and how I mount the table...

    Trailer Dolly

    I replaced the original front wheel jack that came with the CI with a Trailer Valet, MV Series 5x. It was early days for the Trailer Valet and they didn't have as many products / options as now. The manual of my model is attached and you can use email address trailervalet.com to see further...

    Roll-up Drying Rack Sink Cover

    Randy great find. I like the construction is stainless steel (although no specification on type of stainless). When collapsed to the CI sink size, it should offer stronger support than when extended to full dimension. Of course, no reason to extend this device when kept exclusively in the CI...

    About Those Maximum Lengths

    I've stopped for the night many times without reservation. The majority of the time, the campground office takes one look at my 560 and says "yes, we can accommodate you." Now for a funny story, I have taken 3 ferry rides over the years (all using my 1st tow vehicle, a Toyota FJ Cruiser: (1)...

    Rkerber Map

    Well I'd say you've just started getting the travel bug. I expect that over the next 2-3 years that your total of states will be more than doubled. As you can see by my map, I've been bitten hard by the travel bug. I didn't travel last summer (2019), but have gone out to the Colorado River...

    Finally! :)

    Congratulations. With #150, I'm assuming this is a Model 550, because I don't think 560's had been designed at that time. I remember seeing a 550 in a driveway on Coronado Island a couple of times. Is this the one you purchased? Enjoy, as I have enjoyed my 2015 Model 560 with over 300 nights...

    Folding Bed Mattress Upgrade?

    Gregangsten, If you are not concerned about raising the mattress above the plywood floor (moisture control), then I would think a 6" mattress would work. However, if you install lift (hypervent or Froli) for under mattress breathability, then the height starts to become an issue pertaining to...
