Time flies, I picked up a new car on Jan 2, 2023 that I ordered 22 November 2021. But with Camp-inn the build pictures helped a lot.

The receptacle comes as a flush mount. I looked for a spot to put it but decided to replace the existing 12v outlet in the galley. The face plate for the Dometic is too wide for the cabinet. Also, the cabinet services panel has a cover inside the cabinet. So yes, it was a tight fit, which is why...

I have come across a solution, provided by Dometic, to the problem of the 12v power coming loose due to vibration. Dometic makes a convertible cord and receptacle that changes from a cigarette plug to a two prong plug. I installed a duel 12v outlet, in place of the standard outlet. The power...

Lion Energy: great surge capability, andersen plug, two usb (high/low), SAE, and two 110. Add on battery pack.

I camp a lot in the Western Florida panhandle. Air flow and air flow. People exhale a lot of water and it needs to go outside. I have an under mattress ventilation system with a four inch vent in the floor under the mattress mesh. There are two vents on each side of the mattress. The roof fan...

Not Sweeney, but I have installed a 22k propane Generac with a 500(400 useable) gallon inground tank. It “replaced” a Honda 6.5k generator that runs on gas. I kept the Honda as a standby. I think it’s a bit much though. Both systems have done a superb job of warding off hurricanes along my...

I have an older double bag meant for use with an air-mattress. It has an elastic thing a ma jig that surrounds the mattress to keep it in place. It also has a foot zipper. Based on this design, I stitched a fitted sheet, top full sheet, and a pet hair resistant full quilt all together at the...

Yes, you would need both. After 8 hours I was down to 28%. The units have been tested with numerous AC units and they recommend a max output of 5000BTU, just right for the CI. My typical daily AC use is about 4 hours which seems enough for heat stress relief and falling asleep. I wake up and...

Now that’s the more difficult consideration. My current use is as a home charger for power loss. The solar consists of six 100w24volt panels s. The carry cases are really nice but take a bit of space, totaling 21x25x16 inches for all six. For travel I plan to use a 2200w generator that I carry...

I only purchased one gadget this year: A Lion Energy ME solar generator. At 3000 watt hours and a 4000 watt surge it can run the AC overnight. The 24 volt system can recharge in about 4 hours with a 600 watt solar array or 2 hours plugin. The base unit (1000 watt hours) can run most everything...

I had the opportunity to validate the rear hatch sealing done at Camp Inn April a year ago. At Virginia Beach we had a gale( associated with Ian). The CI was facing west with the winds from the east. No leaks, at all. Kind of bouncy through the night.

Pinelog State Forest, Sand Pond Campground, North of Panama City is a low use campground. There is a dump station but no sewer hookups so the big rigs shy away. There are some primitive sites good for a CI, in particular primitive site 3.

The cover has a built in “O” ring as part of the cover. Perhaps yours is old. Mine, after 10 years, tends to be loose.

Just a thought: Perhaps a plastic insert like the ones used to secure a bolt in concrete.

I had a couple of check engine lights on my xterra over the past year while towing. The car shook heavily and stalled. Each time I engaged the clutch, pulled over, restarted and then went my merry way, it finally threw a code near home. It was a crank shaft position sensor $15 aftermarket, $$80...

Yes, had to take the front receiver off to make room for the Warn winch. (I had to put a skid plate insert on the front receiver to avoid “full stops” on rutted roads.)

After trying all sorts of options (bike on CI roof, bike on CI hitch, bike on front mounted TV hitch, bike on roof of TV, folding bike inside CI) I am using a One Up on the CI receiver then moving the One Up to a duel receiver on the TV, if needed.

Height can vary by the level of the trailer. Low in the front, more head clearance in the back.

My driver’s side of the A frame has a re enforcing bead. The other side has a tube for a cable run welded on). Is this not standard?
