Ah, Dan & Van, young Limburger is a treat when first cut, but when it ages a few months WOW, it tastes even better and smells like Joy's feet. Apparently an aphrodisiac for Geezer Greek men like me. :blush: Thanx for the sweet comments and Best Regards, T

Thanx Barb, and yeah. With all the Coloradans with Camp Inns, maybe we should organized a Rocky Mountain Chapter for informal "wing dings"! During August-Sept we'll supply the gourmet Porcini's, Matsutakes, and Chants from under our 8000-foot (in elevation) Colorado pines! Hugs, T &...

Here's a shot of all of us on Staten Island left-to-right (T, Joy, Anna, & Steve) taken by A&S's daughter-in-law.

...after driving over 4000 miles in 7 driving days we got home to Lakewood. Trip out we averaged about 29 mpg from our 2.5-liter gasoline-engine VW Rabbit. Towing Vuggie we averaged about 23 mpg (i.e., all up-hill to our home elevation of 5890 feet above sea level--yup, we look down on...

...apparently UBBCode doesn't like Greek Letters in the subject line...(Hello/Γεια σας/Yasas for all those numbers) ...the next day we spent the day with Anna&Steve. Their #269 (HAPENEST) was even prettier than the pictures, they had pampered her. They also gave us pointers on ownership and...

Hi we're T and Joy, and we bought Anna&Steve's #269 HAPENEST last month. Steve told us to rename it, so we had a contest with friends and family--I told them it had to be as witty as "Suite Retreat" or "The Dew Drop Inn". We got some great suggestions: "Crebs Cruiser", "Camp Crebs"...

Wow, Franko you impress the **** out of me. I knew about the Zamp 120, but was clueless about the GZ-Yeti-400 (with dimensions of 8x8x10.25 inches!) Double-Wow! Showed your post to the woman, and of course, now Joy wants 'em on our wish list too. Ah, to be as rich and talented -- must be...

Yup Alan's right Ashe, many boat trailers use the same 2000-lb rated Dexter axles as our CIs. Here's a link to Light Trailer Bearings and Seals: http://aftermarket.federalmogul.com/en-US/Technical/Documents/Light%20Trailer%20Bearing%20and%20Seal%20Guide.pdf Try searching for: National...

Wow, great design and write-up. Thanx a bunch for posting such an elegant solution, Mick and Sarah. Loved the wiring diagram too (engineers always use graph paper!) Hey Frank, our Plan B for the juice-sucking mattress pad: hot water bottles! Yup, Joy & I are really low tech in the woods...

Here you go Ghost, I think this link describes the difference between car and trailer bearings:http://forums.nicoclub.com/topic577331.html To summarize, modern cars and trucks have sealed ceramic ball bearings, trailers have more open roller bearings. Big differences in cost, surfaces, and...

Talked to Craig last Monday about the wheel bearings and he recommends having two spare bearings and a bearing seal while towing. They didn't have any at the Necedah Mothership, but he gave me their CarQuest numbers: Bearing: B-A4 (get 2) Seal: 474276 (get 1) He said any mechanic can...

During tow from NY to CO (2/22-2/27/14), forgot to put some ice in the Yeti 35 for the drive home (i.e. after the 60's only two neurons apparently still working)! So I put a couple handfuls of snow in a plastic bag while overnighting in Sandusky OH. After three days in a warm car, 2...

Ah, you gals & guys are so persuasive. On the way back from Staten Island, we're now planning to return to the "Necedah Nest" to get a bumper installed on Anna&Steve's HAPENEST. Apparently Steve was pretty sure we would add the bumper after he read Eileen's post. Yup, but it was the...

Great posts about the ElectroWarmth twin-size mattress pads. I ordered one from Amazon (with no skirt) but was worried about battery drain. EW's website claims the pad pulls about 3 amps (times 12 volts yields 36 watts; yeah--a physics major when I was young and pretty, ah.) Therefore for a...

Of course you're right S&A, I compared the 45 quart Yeti with the Stainless Steel Coleman at my local Ace. The measurements I pulled from Amazon for the Yeti probably averaged its trapezoidal length. Looks like only the 20-quart Roadie and my 35-quart Tundra Yeti's will fit in CI's galley. Me...

Great news! I love our 35 quart Yeti Cooler, dimensions 21x16x15.5 inches and weighs 17 lbs empty. Looks like with the 2" seat cushion on top it will still fit in the galley! Looks like the Yeti 45 (25.5x16x15.5) weighing 22 lbs may even be a better fit, as it is closer in size to the 54-qt...

Thanx EL&K, That's what I did, but I tended to overdo -- Kinda zig-zagged into the parking spaces. I think with more practice it should go smoother. It was indeed kind of fun, and gave me a nice warm feeling of accomplishment. Thanx also for the fabulous forum. Best Regards, T

Wow, there's a second page of comments here! Cool. I don't think we're introverted, just rookies with lots to learn. And we're kinda slow learners. Sorry Frank, the black 7-Pin-RV connector is flush with the dark gray bumper. The connector's cover does indeed look like a 4-Pin Flat...

Beautiful shots of surf & sky. Cool camp set-up too.
