    2026 Camping Gear

    My most recent purchase (over a year ago) was for boondocking in the shoulder season when it’s colder. Of course Amazon doesn’t have the exact one anymore, but search Amazon for ‘heated sleeping bag liner’. That, plus multiple (charged) usb battery packs and it warms up the bed nicely when you...

    First 27 nights: Some questions and impressions

    For warmth when below 32, When I have shore power, I use an electric blanket. I usually fold it up into a pillow case so I always have it along. For boondocking I have this, https://a.co/d/2GWTT2d , and 3 of these, Amazon.com. One battery usually lasts the night, depending on whether I have it...

    22 Annual Camp-Inn Camp-Outt

    Weather Forecast (according to Accuweather). Of course, this is just a prediction... Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday ; all of those days indicate some showers; but used words like 'showers in places' and 'couple of morning showers'; so hopefully whatever rain is coming, will be short and not...

    Favorite Pricey Not-from-ci-accessory

    See attached. My brother drilled holes in order to attach on one side, because of the propane tank. Unsure if someone will say if that compromised stability. All I can say is it has been this way for years; hasn't appeared to be an issue.

    Non camp-inn mattress

    I cannot comment on firmer mattress, I tried a different 4” one for a full season and ended putting the ci mattress back in. But regarding height, I have women 9 feet. I have the froli system underneath, and a mattress topper on top, which means my total height is about 6 to 7 inches, and it’s...

    Has anyone added an Ark tongue jack?

    Not that one but I have one like this on my 550, Trailer Valet 5x | Trailer Moving Dolly | Trailer Hitch Mover. Have had it for years. As a single person, it's great for adjusting and moving up the slight incline in my driveway. I do completely remove it and put in back of tow vehicle when on...

    Need Help Staying Logged Inn

    Oddly, I have the opposite. I used to have to relogin every time, and now I stay logged in. So I suspect that it is something local.

    Favorite Budget Not-from-ci-accessory

    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...
