    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    I’m out and about now, but I’ll try to mock it up in the garage and take a blurry and indistinct picture later tonight. :) About half is over the open hatch, and the wings cover the sides. Edit: added some photos. I forgot to take a picture of using a small bungee to wrap around the hatch...

    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    This is an opinion thread... so keep in mind this is exactly that--some opinions. Nothing more. Keeping in mind I'm solo (not a couple) and as a 'long weekend' camper (haven't retired yet, so I haven't had a chance to do any long hauls), I can easily look ahead in various weather sites to...

    Would It Be Sacrilege?

    Is the name any deeper meaning for you than the alliteration? Because just by itself I'm already smiling. If it has even more personal meaning... A trip remembrance or something..If you feel like naming it and the name makes YOU happy, that's the important thing.

    Would It Be Sacrilege?

    Not at all. It is your camper, to accessorize as you wish.

    Auxiliary Battery For Refrigerator

    Going off topic a bit... I picked up a couple of these a few years ago just at a local home improvement store. But similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Solar-Lights-Motion-Sensor-Bright/dp/B075K8S6L6. A cord through the hole at the top, and I just hang them like porch lights, kind of...

    Moving The Trailer By Hand

    In the driveway, for me, it's because my upper body strength isn't that awesome. If you're fit as a fiddle and can lift and move the trailer around, then a trailer dolly isn't very interesting to you. Otherwise, having the dolly--basically a lever with the different fulcrum point-- just makes...

    Moving The Trailer By Hand

    This is the trailer dolly I currently have: Amazon.com: Tow Tuff Adjustable Trailer Dolly with Caster: TRI Global: Patio, Lawn & Garden And yes, I do usually take it with me in the Tow Vehicle--because I'm just not that good at backing up yet. (I'm working on it). It's pricey, but I did have...

    Height Of Door Openings?

    Do you mean from ground to bottom of the open door? That's going to depend upon if you get the SUV height or not. So, no, it's not the same for everyone. Thicker mattress, a few inches doesn't affect anything for me. But you might want to contact campinn. If you can't visit the factory, they...

    Memory Foam Or Some Other Type Of Mattress Topper? Need Advice!

    I have a wool topper. You might think "isn't that hot?" Not compared to other types of toppers. Check some reviews and comparisons. But everyone is different. Memory foam might be your only acceptable choice for your comfort.

    Clam Screen Room

    I'm still in the weekend camper phase, not retired yet, so I can can watch weather and bring what shelter works best for the weather. Usually it's either nothing, or if I do put something up most frequently its the rei alcove. So I have only used the NB in colder weather, or if it's known to be...

    Clam Screen Room

    My testing... The door isn't wide enough. My sister has one, and we tried to see if it work last year. I really wanted it to work, but with one door and the shape, you just can't fit it around the teardrop. It you wanted it only over the hatch, do not use the table extension nor the cooler...

    Galley Ventilation

    I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a technical / "how to vent" person. But I'm wondering if 'keep it simple' as a first attempt might make sense here. Instead of punching holes in stuff... what about just a fan (or fans) strategically placed to circulate the air? It doesn't have to...

    Sink strainer

    I happened to be in one of those 'kitchen gadget' stores, and noticed this strainer. I thought it might be shallow enough to be used in the sink as a strainer. and hooray, fits fine. Sure, it's meant to fit exactly on a regular kitchen sink-sized drain; but because of the shallow indent, it...
