    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    You didn’t ask me but… (When I took my CI to the nest last year Cary was somehow able to restrain himself when he saw how many holes I’ve punched in the skin, I can never use the term “pristine”).

    Fantastic Fan Rain Sensor

    I added a vent cover to resolve the “open and close” concern. Yes, it looks like a blister on top but I can keep the fan running in most rain events. If it’s a tremendous downpour the vent can still close automatically. Since installing the awning and a ½ rook basket the vent cover blends in.

    Couch Mode W/ Mattress Topper

    I took out the foam, inserted a ½ inch high density foam, then inserted the thermo foam topper. With the ½ inch ventilation layer under the mattress it works out about right.

    Misc Bunduawn

    I can typically stow the awning in less than 5 minutes. Opening is about 2. I have had a rare memory lapse that makes me start over. I take great care to watch the “wires” that fold to form the peak. I get more comments on the awning than the CI, probably because it is all one sees until they...

    Fridge / Cooler Coleman Cozy

    Plagiarized explanation : “To understand freezing point depression, it helps to first understand how melting and freezing work. Ice absorbs energy (heat) from the environment to break the hydrogen bonds that make it a solid, allowing it to turn into a liquid. In contrast, water releases energy...

    SOLD 2014 Camp-inn 550 Ultra In New Hampshire

    I camp often in pine woods. To get the globs off gently I apple a little bug and tar remover then pick at them with my thumbnail. It’s very gentle.

    Onboard Charger

    Contacting Campinn is a good course of action. My original 2013 charge burned out and they had a replacement. It took about two hours to replace. Apparently, a bad charger will damage the battery.

    100w Solar Not Enough Or Am I Doing Something Wrong?

    Under average conditions, you get about ⅓ of the rated output from solar. Just what I’ve come to believe.

    What Amp Extension Cord Do I Need!

    Some of us use two cords 10-12 ft long. Use one if close to the power outlet, two if further away. The CI power inlet is generally on the far side from the power pedestal. Also, get an outlet adapter in case the pedestal doesn’t have a standard 15/20 amp plug.

    Tongue Jack Upgrade - Maybe

    For my TV, I found that using the upper sets of plate mounting holes gave me a better lift range.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    If I don’t have neighbors I’ll use a small impact driver. With neighbors I’ll run the jack down by hand. For jacking the wheel off the ground I keep an 18” rachet.

    Honda 2200 Generator Conversion

    Rotopax has a good system for carrying fuel. You can mount a plate on a cargo basket. Pricey though.

    License Plate Fastener

    My 2013 just has sheet metal screws holding the bracket/light on. The ½ inch hole merely lets the wires in. (I’ve taken the assembly off several times). The rounded aluminium creates a trap for something dropped in this area. A fiber optic viewer and a flexible grabber is the only thing I can...

    Black Spots On Front And Wheel Fender

    It looks like tar from the road. I use a little naphtha to remove it, then rewax.
