I have three Mr Heaters: Buddy, Big Buddy, and the “new” BuddyFlex.I have had no problems. Depending upon the length of extra hose used I do bleed the hose until I smell/see gas, then connect the appliance. I do use the fuel filter. Please, no safety comments (A Christmas Movie: You’re going to...

The host was actually pretty good. I politely discussed my “error” with him which is why he was willing to say why the NPS didn’t care about bear resistant containers, everything goes in the car if you are not at the campsite: water bottles, jugs, ice chest, boxes, toiletries, etc. whether in a...

It’s a “courtesy notice”. To put some bark into it they include the penalty for approaching and harassing wildlife, think of people getting a selfie with a grizzly: Willfully approaching within in 50 yards (150 feet ), or any distance that disturbs or displaces a bear or elk, is prohibited...

So dry campers don’t shortcut things at 2am and water the bushes? Bureaucrats. This summer I was dry camping in a National Park and got a bear ticket. I had a grizzly bear rated cooler I only used for ice. It was doubly pad locked per back country regs. The host told me that he didn’t like...

I built my confidence in water treatment tablets at Philmont Scout Ranch. The water supply on the third night was a cow pond with the cows in it. We doubled down on the tablets and no one got sick. The worst campground water set up was in a US Forest Service campground in New Bern, NC. The fresh...

ordered one of these and it fits the CI tables well.

Forgot to mention the deflector. It is about 10x10 on the bottom side of the condensation layer. The Zodi temp is not too hot at the exit point.

I have dryer vents, left and right. They flare on top of the anti condensation layer. The air does draw well from the floor opening, through the dryer vents and out via the roof fan, or vice versa.

Years ago I experimented with a Zodi Tent Heater. It uses a heat exchanger to heat air which a small fan blows through a dryer pipe. There is little chance of CO entering the cabin. I put an inlet into the floor of the CI and the warm air came in under the mattress and circulated via the anti...

I have a six inch extension and a valve on my gray water tank. This makes it easy drain the tank into a five gallon collapsable water container. I can then take the container to the dump station or toilet. Unfortunately my container has a pin hole that I have yet to fix and in dry campgrounds I...

How about this Campinn item: NEW for 2019:Trailer Mounted Brake Controller - With this Autowbrake brand brake controller installed in your trailer, it works with every tow vehicle. Great for families with multiple tow vehicles. (Electric Brakes- Standard, or Electric Brakes- w/Park Option...

I toyed with rotating the side table. I had already bolted the camper brackets to the side wall to aide in using the “dog” bracket. The problem with a do it yourself rotation of the campinn side table is having brackets on the side table that will not pull out. I would guess the brackets on the...

I agree with you. I drive an EV 1000 miles per month and use an ICE for towing and long trips. The EV is a pleasure to drive.

I treat my outdoor clothes by soaking in permethrin, then air drying. It works great for anything that crawls on your clothes. The yellow flies only go for bare skin and bite as soon as they land, following a few circles around the target. When driving into the woods for trail work the tellow...

I live in Northwest Florida and have found three things that mostly work on yellow flies: 1) Bug Balls- a black object covered in sticky spray that wobbles. Good for a small area. 2) Deer fly strips that stick on the back of a cap. It traps the deer flies that orbit around your head, kind of a...

There is a reason a “crescent wrench” is nicknamed a “monkey wrench”.

Does Campinn have a tiny camper Bluenose Certificate?

Well it is .3 inches too wide. That’s what I get for believing the measurement on Amazon for a steel belted Coleman. Of course I am a lifelong practitioner of measure once, cut twice.

A Yeti stainless steel cooler that seems to be a close fit to the Coleman. It sells for a mere $800!
