    Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen TDI

    I bought a pair of tow springs for the rear and got 2-3" of additional clearance in the rear. Now the JSW never scrapes going over curbs. Very nice addition. R Dickson

    Parking Spot Between Monterey & Sf

    we're heading west on 9/30, all the way from NC to the bay area. We'll spend a few nights on the north rim, then maybe Zion if I can stand the crowd, Death valley, Kings canyon, whatever. We've got a reservation for a cabin on the Monterey peninsula to spend time with the west coast grandson (...

    Fridge / Cooler 12v/120v Freezer/fridge

    we've had a dometic cf-35 for two years now. Fits nicely in the galley. It's a good unit as I expect many folks on this forum will attest. Definitely smaller capacity than the cooler but no ice and no water to deal with. It'll freeze if you want it to or not if you set the temp higher. You have...

    Fantastic Fan Fantastic Fan Electrical Draw

    thanks, this is great stuff. My trimetric monitor is already on order along with a new AGM battery. The first AGM started losing capacity after one year and after two it won't run the dometic for 12 hours even in relatively cool temps. A real drag in a dry campground. Hopefully the trimetric...

    Prisoner of Zenda

    so you're out west wishing you were cruising, well, east, I guess. Can't go much further west than you already are. I'm stuck in the east (high of 32, low of 15 tomorrow), wishing I was heading south and west. Last January we hit Tucson then went south to Patagonia State Park, then east...

    Dometic, Yeti, or both?

    I'd love to have the link to that side cord for the dometic but can't seem to make the search engine give it up. Anyone got the link?

    Battery Source

    update: turns out the battery wasn't at all dead, just acting like it. Something in the wiring has come a bit loose and when I tightened everything up, for the second time, all seems normal again. I suppose it shouldn't be that unusual for a nut to back out a bit given all the shaking and...

    Battery Source

    so I'm curious as to how many of these Dynasty AGM batteries have had to be replaced by Camp-Inn users. It appears that ours is bad after only 17 months and Cary tells me there's no warranty. He also told me that expected life is 6 - 10 years. Based on my experience with AGM batteries in...

    Peg & Ken's Colorado/Utah trip.

    I'm curious as to where you camped in Zion. We're planning a similar trip in a week or two, also have a wedding to attend in Colorado. Checking online, the Watchman campground is booked solid while the South campground looks like it might be a scrum. Maybe not in mid september.

    Planning 2015 East Coast / New England / Nova Scotia

    If you're heading up to the Cabot trail consider taking a hard left when you cross the bridge onto cape Breton. That'll put you on the cealigh trail. Nice Gaelic music Museum on that route as well as the Glenora distillery. They sell 1/2 oz samples so you can try and still drive ... And for...

    Best Cook Set?

    we've got the colander and it works great as a steamer as well. Steamed some awesome fresh local mussels in it in Nova Scotia last August. Can't wait to get back to the maritimes ...

    David and Becky's first 26,000 miles

    Vicky and I had the pleasure of meeting David and Becky in Patagonia Lake State Park in southern Arizona a few weeks ago. Nice folks, nice park . Moved from there eastward to Big Bend NP. Absolutely awesome place. Back home now in snowy(!) central NC. We've only got 76 nights and 14k+...

    Leaks

    I had a good conversation with Cary regarding these issues. If you're having leaks i'd advise that you give him a call.

    Leaks

    Thanks for all the replies. Joan and Jenn's reinforce my opinion (and likely most of yours) that we have well-made teardrops that usually don't leak. I do indeed look forward to talking with Cary.

    Leaks

    I don't think having to seal the window vents is necessarily unreasonable, but it sounds as though you've had leaks around your door seals. THAT is unreasonable. If a car door can be sealed against the rain then our custom-built campers ought to be able to meet that standard. I expect most of...

    Leaks

    We just finished a day's drive south through Georgia heading for the Florida panhandle. Lots of rain. Got to our campsite on the gulf and found wet bedding and wet food. This has happened before, last August in newfoundland. I talked with Cary and he told me to adjust the back rubber galley...
