    Fixed blade or folder for a dedicated camp kitchen knife?

    That is a great looking knife/sheath, especially for the price! I really like santoku at home, why isn’t there one in the trailer? Edit: Oxo also has that same style locking sheath on a 3.5” paring knife…$14

    Tongue- Tank Upgrade and Makeover

    Is there sn award for best tongue? I think you’re a lock for it at the next CICO! That is a seriously awesome project, well done in every way. P.S. I think tanks can be recertified?

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I rode a friend’s Lectric around the campground last summer, liked it a lot! I imagine it will be pretty cool around your place!

    Fixed blade or folder for a dedicated camp kitchen knife?

    The “sheath” on my chef’s knife is cereal box cardboard and masking tape. It gets the job done, good enough!

    Fixed blade or folder for a dedicated camp kitchen knife?

    This. I use the same style as I do in the kitchen at home; a chef’s knife, but an inexpensive version. Plus a small slicer that can go on a picnic in its plastic cover, and a paring knife, medium and small cutting boards… A folder doesn’t work for me with food. Too hard to clean. If i’m away...

    Itinerary Badger State Tearjerks Fall On The Farm

    Hmmm.... we here in the PNW have been known to get the occasional drizzle. We've been known to put the Coleman 13x13 canopy over the trailer instead of the picnic table in a real monsoon. Has anyone got more information on the little Fantastic Fan Cover Cover (F2C2)? Here's our big F2C2 over...

    New to teardrop-life & excited to be here -- any Denver-area CI owners?

    If a paper copy of the manual for your year doesn’t come with your CI they are available free as a pdf or low cost as paper from tinycamper.com. Here is the oldest pdf version, came out in 2012 Tip 2; read everything you can find at that website. Especially the FAQs! Tip 3; read this whole...

    Itinerary 23rd Annual Camp-Inn Camp-Outt - Registration & Info

    Ya’ll are looking great! Sad to see us westerners not on the list. Unless @Tour 931 still considers his PNW roots as significant? Those t-shirt designs are fabulous! Maybe next year.

    Update 2026 560 Ultra Build Pictures

    Chocks yes, CI incudes a nice set. I use leveling blocks by choice as needed, which are not included from CI. If it’s just a little I will use the jacks.

    Next-gen 12v AC/Heat Heatpump

    You'll see when you have a chance to watch that the peak power usage passes in a few minutes, heat or AC. But you're right, you'd have to move a lot of power in those few minutes. This is a pretty thorough review; "Tito" discusses expectations of how much gain or loss to expect. But I really...

    Next-gen 12v AC/Heat Heatpump

    I’m excited to see that heat pump manufacturers are continuing to develop products that will someday be reasonable choices in off grid small trailer camping. Here’s the first I’ve seen (haven’t really been looking). The review shows: Settles about 300w at max. Idle heat should be a lot less in...

    About those solar generators

    If you’re near to any boating areas, a marine electrical service installer or shop can make this up with your parts or theirs… or really anyone handy with electrical connectors.

    Cpap Power For Boondocking

    Here’s a summary of my current approach, which has been working well for the last few years: My current practice is to put a splash of distilled water in the humidifier chamber but leave it turned off, sometimes called “passover” humidifying. It’s not much but it helps. Since writing about my...

    Request for updated CPAP battery info 2025

    Early on with CPAP I found that I had to turn off the humidifier to achieve my minimum of 5 nights off grid. Eventually, between a dedicated 50ah lithium and a 100ah lead/acid in the camper I have up to 11 nights with some margin. At that point in time sogens were new and relatively expensive...
