    Fantastic Fan Fantastic Fan 7350 Upgrade Kit

    Note that the fan in Camp Inn trailers is not standard, Camp Inn orders a custom version with slower speeds because of the small volume of the trailer. A standard fan may be too powerful.

    SUV Off-Road How Much Is It Worth

    Our 560 is not a SUV package but is adjusted a couple of inches higher than standard; it suits us fine, towed behind an Xterra off-road. You can adjust the trailing arms of the suspension a limited amount, you can probably get a couple of inches. If you do this after the trailer is built (ours...

    Stabilizer Jack Maintenance

    Actually, at least on mine, it uses the rear most part and the very front of the thread, so clean off both front and back. (Thanks for the up vote)

    Stabilizer Jack Maintenance

    Spring is here, camping season is upon us, it is time to lubricate your jacks! Here is my procedure: Jack up one side quite high, with the wheel off the ground a couple of inches. Don't jack the other side at the same time or the trailer will become unstable. Clean everything you can see with...

    Electric Cooler Problems

    Are you running the cooler with the galley lid closed? The cooler depends on relatively cool air blowing over its condenser. In the small enclosed galley space the air heats up and the cooler kicks off with a high ambient temperature error.

    Electrical Troubleshooting And Maybe A Solar Question Or Two

    Your problems with the outlets point to something significant wrong with your wiring. I suggest you get someone with electrical knowledge look at it directly. It is pretty hard to do remote diagnosis on these things. You have tried the easy stuff. On your other questions, you can connect a...

    Mudflaps Reviews?

    I can't specifically comment on the Camp Inn Mudflaps; I have had Rock Tamers for a couple of years and love them, really keep the rocks off the front of the trailer. The Camp Inn flaps are very similar in design and look to me like they would work just fine. They are a little lighter weight...

    Adding A Second Battery

    This is something that can be fixed with a little electrical knowledge and some work. The way I would do it would be to add a heavy wire with a fuse from the TV battery to the 7-way connector area of the TV. Then add a relay controlled by the wire that would normally be the 7-way battery...

    Adding A Second Battery

    Why would you want to do this? If it is just because of limited storage other places, it might be OK, especially if the panels are protected in a box, cover, or self storing (folding). If you are thinking having panels on your TV and actually charging, it is silly. The vehicle has a fine...

    Generator Question

    I have purchased a number of tools and equipment from Northern Tool, as well as other similar places and have been generally happy. However, I always consider the importance of a particular tool; if it will be only occasionally used and if it fails I won't be in an uncomfortable situation, the...

    Updated Owner's Manual

    Good find, but be careful, there are a number of details that have changed in the Camp-Inn trailer design, especially in the electrical systems. You should always refer first to the manual that came with your trailer as the new one may not match the way your trailer was built. There is some new...

    Adding A Second Battery

    There are many ways to approach this; I obsessed about it during the long wait for our trailer to be built. The first thing is to ask yourself is what problem you are trying to solve. What consumers of electricity to you have, what is your camp situation, length of stay, etc.? Is there a...

    Adding A Second Battery

    You have opened a big subject with lots of nuanced items. If you want to have two batteries simultaneously connected, the first thing is that they both have to be very similar, if not identical. If not, the charging and discharging will be uneven, one battery may not charge, and it may even...

    Wheel Bearings

    I think that ring is the left over inner race from the previous, destroyed bearing.

    Craigslist Ad For Real?

    I would contact the seller using the Craigslist facility (which obscures your email address) . Ask for the serial number of the trailer. Then call Cary at Camp-inn; he can give you the details of the build, and other things about it, and help you figure out if it is legitimate.

    Smell Gas

    First place to check is the hose connection to the tank. Try tightening to see if it moves; note that it is a left hand thread. If it's tight, close the valve and disconnect the hose to check the fitting. The hose part should be smooth without any deep scratches or nicks. The tank fitting should...

    Battery Not Charging

    If the battery tender green light is on, it is connected to the battery and the fuse is good, and it is happy with the battery condition. What "charging" light are you referring to? Do you have any other evidence the battery is not charged? The battery tender is pretty clever with different...

    Storage

    It is fine to leave it plugged in all the time, in fact that is ideal. It will become overcharged only if the charger fails.
