L.M. We love our BGE too! Don

I would be very interested in some construction details and maybe a few more pictures? What material did you use for the dividers and how do the dividers connect to each other and to the teardrop? Any advice to someone else about things to consider? Very nice looking! Don

(EricR) In these dishes the ribeyes, pork loin, pork tenderloin, corn, tomato/italian-sausage and parsnips were all cooked sous vide in the days before each trip. As an example the ribeye in the first image was sealed in the plastic bag with s&p and a little butter, cooked an hour or so at...

Cary can attest that one of the first things that I said when we visited Necedah and saw our first Camp Inn teardrop was, "this is really set up well for serious cooking". Those who happen to have read our introduction post might remember that one of our goals for our new teardrop was to eat...

These are pictures of our first six meals prepared over four weekend trips in our 550 galley. Longer descriptions are in a post in the Cooking section of the forum. 1 Ribeye 2 Penne 3 Pork 4 Scallops 5 Ribeye 6 Tenderloin

We too added several of these items to our 550 build. 1. We bought the bumper because Cary said it would make our teardrop look "cooler". We like it. 2. This past weekend we spent two wonderfully quiet afternoons napping and reading in our 550 with the doors open and the screens zipped...

This is our addition to the towel holder thread. This is a small black plastic rectangle in two pieces, one of which is attached to the rib with screws with a second piece that slides into the first. The holder has three V-shaped slots in it that grip the towel. It is quite easy to...

This is our addition to the towel holder thread.

We worried a lot about this issue when we bought our 550 recently and had to have a hitch and wiring added to our Honda Accord. Everyone said, just close the trunk lid on the cable and it will be fine. It did work fine for our first couple of trips but we were still nervous about it. We...

Just noticed this thread because of the recent post. Our TV is a 2008 Honda EX 4 cyl 5 spd manual. We get 31 mpg or so without the TD and around 23 mpg while towing, just about the same as the 2002 Honda above. We're pretty happy to be able to tow our 550 at all with such a small car. We...

Jim, You likely already know this but you will get a CD with all of your build pictures when you pick up your 560. You will also get hi-res versions too. Maybe you could talk Craig into checking if he could share a couple of other build CD's with you. This would give you hi-res images with...

Eileen, Thanks for the storage images. I think I have a couple of those BB&B wire racks in some cupboards in the house. I'll have to find one and try it out. Since you don't have a frying pan in the "frying pan" slot do you have it stored somewhere else or don't you carry one with you?

We only found out about this gadget during Cary's "Tour de Trailer" when we picked up our #357. He was demonstrating the new water tank level and battery status monitor. "See, push this button and you can see that the battery is full, then push this to see the gray water tank is empty, then...

Re: Glacier NP..... suggestions? My wife and I camped in Glacier the third year we were married, almost 40 years ago. We tented at Avalanche creek campground, surrounded only by other tents. A few years later we went back and our tent was in a distinct minority. I remember seeing the glow of...

Every one of the posts in this section of the forum have been useful to us as new owners. We are especially interesting in custom storage additions, like the storage bin dividers, spice holder, knife holder and the paper towel holders. To encourage more posts of storage options I offer the...

Ken, I don't have any pans up behind a link at this point. I'm a CIO at a small University which is a 25/8/366 job these days, especially these days. Maybe I'll have a chance to put something up later this summer. The Kaiden head I have is one of their less expensive ones and I've had it a...

Ken, Wow. Impressive panorama. I do get to Chicago now and then so the view is familiar although it has never looked this good. Michigan Ave on the left edge, on Wacker looking north, I think. My favorite casual Chicago restaurant is only a few blocks away, Frontera Grill, at Clark and...

Ken, We are enjoying your panorama images. They are a personal interest of mine as well. I had a pan head with me at Wyalusing SP on our 550 TD pickup trip a month ago but the rain and the excitement of the new trailer kept it packed away. If you don't mind I would be interested in a few...

Betsey's comments about Wyalusing are right on target. We camped there the second night after picking up our trailer based on a recommendation from Craig. I have placed a few images of Wyalusing in the Gallery, including one taken from below, across the river, that captures the unique nature...

Our second night of camping in our new 550 was at Wyalusing State Park following a recommendation from Craig. Even though it rained most of the day and night we could not have had a better time in our teardrop. This is site 155, at the west end of the Wisconsin Ridge campground, 500 feet above...
