I'm home from CICO 2024. (Sad, I know). One of the things I do is wander around and ask people what their favorite accessory is which was in some way a "game changer". I found that some people had pricey add-ons and some had budget add-ons. In order to not compete too much, I've made two...

I don't know if this is a confessional or not, perhaps more of a cautionary tale. Early this spring (2022) I thought to be proactive and have my CI tires replaced, since they were 8 years old, and even though didn't have many miles on them, I wanted new tires just to be sure I'd be all good for...

In the 550, there is just the tiniest bit of clearance between the mattress and the side wall. Sure, I used to just tuck the ereader there, but this fits and it's oh just so slightly higher so my ereader doesn't go too deep behind the pillow and bedding. If you, too, are looking for something...

Web Site: Devils Tower View Campground Wyoming RV Park I didn't want to stay at the KOA, which sure, it's closer than this campground, but KOAs generally mean you are on top of other campers. With the current situation, being more dispersed is recommended. It's 3 miles from Devil's Tower...

I've been looking for "the perfect" collapsible colander (for rinsing fruit and veggies, not for steaming or cooking). And I think I might have a winner! It's not road or trip-tested yet, but I think it'll work out for what I wanted. It's called "Fozzils Snapfold...

Yes! Another Cooler for Discussion! :) The Pelican 20 Quart. As of writing this, $225 @Amazon, Pelican ProGear 20 Quart. Compare to Yeti Tundra 35, $360 (@Amazon) Your first reaction, like mine was... "20 vs 35, clearly the Yeti will hold more". Well sure--but not as much as you...

I had heard of others making some fabric to cover the roof vent for room darkening (if not using the fan) and decided to do a little diy project; since I recently needed upholstery fabric for a different (in house) project and had some left over pieces. And then I also thought... what I also...

I'm keeping track of attendees over at tearjerkers: http://www.tearjerkers.net/new_forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=7560 2nd Annual Livin' On The Ledge 2015 Call 920-386-3700 to reserve over the phone for the weekend of June 19th (Friday) through June 21st (Sunday) of 2015. Of course, you...

I know I saw this customization regarding stowing of the table extension during travel on the forum here somewhere, but now I can't find it. I just want everyone to know this was not my idea--this was someone else's idea that I've stolen. If you have the table extension, here's one way...

I've seen this customization at gatherings, and I've been secretly hoping for them for a while. My "stuff" in the bins naturally is stored from bottom up; so it seemed like the top portion of the bins was wasted space--as others have noticed and customized. So this year, after whispering in...

I was the kind of person who had paperbacks everywhere in the house. And then a friend told me to try a Kindle. I don't think I've seen a thread here about ebooks or ereaders and camping, so I thought I'd share a couple of resources; and get the geeky conversation started. If you like...

I thought I'd post this customization. Using 3m Removable "Cord Bundlers", and an Adjustable Bungee Clothesline (it's twisted) I hang dishrags, dishtowels to dry by just feeding a corner through one of the twists. It's easy, out of the way, and if I get tired of it one day, easily removable...

Just came back from a lovely weekend. Earlier this year when I was looking to fill up as many weekends as possible, I heard about "Tin Can Tourists", and on their gatherings site there was a gathering scheduled in Wisconsin (where I am) on a weekend I needed to fill. Although I didn't fit the...

Maybe I'm not the norm, but I don't normally carry around a lot of keys. Prior to the CI 550, I normally only had to keep track of 1 key: the car key. Although I have keys to lots of doors, etc., they have keypads, and the physical keys to those doors don't normally go with me. Then I got the...

I'm not sure if this is "Other Gear and Equipment" or if it's better described as a "Tips and Tricks", but I'll put it here and let a moderator move it if I've guessed wrong. As a warning--none of the three things I've added have been through the wringer, I just think it'll work for me, and...

After a thorough orientation (Thanks Cary!), left the nest and headed home. I'm in Wisconsin; so it's not that far really. It's now in the garage, and I've already started transferring "stuff" to it. Since the sun is starting to set... I don't really need to keep arranging (re-arranging) the...

First issue appears to be available in February, 2013. I signed up--the signup page said the magazine was free--if you get it electronically delivered. If you like actual printed magazine, then there is a cost. http://www.cooltears.com Ah, here's the catch for the free email delivered...

So CICO 2012 is over (for me anyway, have to work tomorrow, some lucky people are staying longer) but part of my personal "mission" <grin> while I was there was to ask anyone I met what accessory or tip they have to suggest. Everyone had wonderful suggestions. Almost all of them are already...
