The front is headed our way in Florida. Forecast is for it to stall and give us 2 to 4 days of much needed rain. I’ll be headed to the flyin at Lakeland next Sunday. Hopefully it will dry out before then.

It was a GCFI issue. I did learn something when changing it. Depending on the manufacturer of the GCFI, the load and line end of the GCFI may be reversed. I installed the new one insuring same orientation, and the GCFI was not working properly until I noticed the orientation of the load and line...

I had the 560 plugged in to the electrical socket in the garage when a really bad storm came thru and we had a very nearby lightning strike. Went to hookup the 560 and go camping and noticed the GCFI outlet in the galley was flashing red. Unplugged the teardrop and reset to GCFI outlet and it...

I lost that battle too. But we compromised as a two camper family. We have a CampInn 560 and an Escape 21C. The wife really prefers a bathroom, but she will go with me in the CampInn when the weather is nice.

Agreed, the Kermit Chair is very cool and high quality, but definitely not a backpacking chair. We bought one from Kermit and the second from the individual who took over from Kermit. My recommendation for a backpacking chair would be a Heloix. We prefer the ones with a higher back and lightly...

A friend of mine bought a watch tower from the state of NC. It cost him much more to have it dismantled and moved than the price of the watch tower. I think his winning bid was $100.
