    Ford Trailer Feature

    I hope the 2020 Ford Bronco will have this option. The Bronco hasn't been formally announced yet, but Ford will reintroduce the Ford Ranger in 2019 and the Bronco is supposed to follow, using the same frame. Rumor has it that the Bronco will be available with a gasoline engine (6 cylinder) and a...

    Worn Tire

    I went through the original tires rather quickly, less than 7000 miles. It may have been to incorrect air pressure. However, the second set (the ones on the trailer now) are 6 ply radials. The radials after 7000 miles the tires look great. I run about 38-40 psi currently.

    Best tow vehicle?

    Above are a couple quotes that I believe are key to choosing the correct tow vehicle for you. Personally I drive a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser with automatic transmission (this is an automatic where all 5 gears can be manually selected if desired). This past summer I drove through 20 states and 5...

    Death Valley 2016

    Thanks for the preview. I'm thinking about heading over that way next week. It would be brutal to go in May through September.

    Solar Hookup Solar Hookup Questions

    Wade and Nan. Cary always has well thought out answers. My question is how long is the wiring from the solar panel to the Camp-Inn trailer? Voltage drop occurs with any distance run of wiring (the larger the wire gauge the less voltage drop per foot). I would think having the controller next...

    Magma Nesting Pots Custom Bungee

    Thanks for the heads up. The bungee the came with the Magma set leaves a little to be desired.

    The "Dew Drop Inn" Chronicles

    Very interesting. I'll bet the National Safety Board will have a panic attack with that set up (assuming this rig is in the US). A boat secured with four turnbuckle tie downs may be adequate for a crate (or just the boat), but probably not for a human rider. It appears the trailer is being...

    NAME THAT DROP

    A little background first. The 560 will be used primarily by me (genealogy travels and just general wanderings) and my dog's name is Moa, a 12 year old Sheppard mix. The name for the 560 (picked up on August 5th) is named "Chalet Moa". My wife (who isn't as keen on the trailer as I am)...

    Please help.. thoughts on 550 or 560?

    I struggled with the decision over the 550 and 560 before ordering, but selected the 560. I don't pick mine up until 5 August, so you may end up seeing mine on the production line during your visit. I reason for going with the 560 was the ability to seat up comfortably and type up research...

    Pony Inn Northwest Tour

    Your first outing sounded like a dream trip. I've been on the Silverton / Durango railroad, but never the one out of Antonio, but it's on my bucket list. Colorado would have made the mosquito its state bird, but I think Minnesota claimed it first. HaHa

    Update We've Welcomed Home Our "wander-inn"

    Best wishes and safe travels. I'm about 6 weeks behind you, as my completion date on the CI 560 is tentatively mid July. I totally agree that the building progress pictures are another very nice touch that Camp Inn provides its buyers.

    Galley Dining Table

    Pat. Being able to set the table to two heights (one for eating and one for food prep) is a great idea. Of course you do realize a picture is worth a thousand words! And an accompanying write-up with dimensional description might get you nominated for inventor of the year. :grin: PM Evan...

    Trip #2

    It will not be unusual to encounter snow flurries in the northern Rockies in early June. However, a very pretty time of year with the peaks still showing lots of snow cover and wild flowers in bloom at lower elevations. The water falls will be most spectacular in June with the rivers and creeks...

    Request from Cary: Car-to-Camp-Inn wiring

    I have a Toyota FJ Cruiser, and when the key is in lock (vehicle turned off so key can be extracted) there is no voltage / current to any of the 12 volt plugs. So when I had the seven pin connector wired (to include electric brakes and charging current to the trailer), these two wires come...

    My Why we chose Camp Inn made Cool Tears Mag

    Jay n Valerie I too enjoyed the magazine article. It truly speaks to the process of acquiring a quality built trailer like Camp Inn. I ordered mine the Monday after Thanksgiving 2014, with a first half July delivery. In fact, your video was a huge influence on my decision to order the Camp...

    Gym, After struggling with my mind, I have decided to stay the course and purchase my Model 560 new from the Camp Inn family. The second half of March I drove up to Wisconsin and toured the facility. Also, I took them the components to the stereo and battery monitor to install in the one I...

    SOLD Like New 2012 Raindrop Ultra 560 For Sale

    Gym, Your offer has me interested. I have one on order with a mid-July delivery from Camp Inn, but your 560 has everything on my order list except a stereo and handicap accessibility. I don't need the latter, but thought it would ease my movement inside the cabin to have something to hang...
