    Any Drone Pilots Out There?

    I've got a lot of mixed feelings here. I think I'd like to have a nice drone. Nice ones are expensive, but not a bill I ultimately couldn't pay. OTOH, my drone lustings are tempered two-fold. I see (seemingly) disproportional laws in place for what these items are. I also see that for...

    Just For Fun: What's The Strangest Thing In Your Ci?

    I had to think about this for a while, as it isn't my idea, I just helped. It is my wife's. She loves the 550 as much as I do, but took an immediate hating to the curtains. I don't know why, seemed OK to me, and they weren't soiled or anything. Not only did she hate the curtains, she hated...

    Just For Fun: What's The Strangest Thing In Your Ci?

    I can only guess I glanced over this post, or just completely missed it the 1st time I went thru this thread. Depending on conditions, the weather station sounds like an awesome idea. Can you share some more about your weather station? What model you purchased? and would you recommend...

    Best Cooler For Camping?

    no actual experience with the other brands mentioned, but I suspect that there is probably a lot of truth in your comment in discussion of competition. I did, however, purchase a '50's/'60's vintage "Pleasure Chest" a few years back, and solely in the looks department, it has them all beat...

    Best Cooler For Camping?

    I've already shared my opinion here (earlier) in this thread, but as I closely review a lot of the comments, it seems that some posters have issues with the Yeti's. Just curious, have you experienced an actual problem with a Yeti cooler? Or just don't care for the pricing? Or maybe...

    Any Suggested Repair/maintenance Places, North Of Dallas ?

    I though the common wisdom here was not to go to boat places, as they tend to overpack the bearings in prep for submersion in water? And that ends up causing other problems down the road. Either way there are a number of trailer places up and down IH-35. Do they have good service and do good...

    Things You Forgot But Wish You Hadn't

    Absolutely nothing. I *always* bring too much junk. I tell myself its for safety, etc, but I never use half of it. Take what you need, and no more. That's the beauty of the teardrop, its not about bringing your whole house with you, its just awesome to be in a small, maneuverable...

    Full-size Spare Tire Carry Option For Outback Tv And Ci

    Thank you for the upvote Eve, I'd all but forgotten about this post. FWIW, Cary gave me an online link for a source for a new rim + hub cap. I'm just going to purchase an identical replica for what's on their now. I see the comments about the space saver spare being OK in the forum...

    Canceling Trips In 2020

    Are there still protest going on?!? I don't know, I try to keep from watching the news. I thought that the protests died out when the whole corona thing caught its 2nd wind.

    Where Do You Shower?

    This is from my hiking adventures. Nothing beats a good shower and feeling clean after a long day with tired muscles, being hot, sweaty, dirty, smokey from the fire, etc. When a shower wasn't an option, I took a ziplock bag with a few wash rags in it. It will never replace a hot shower (or...

    New Owner, Leaking Window Question

    I'm in full agreement, but after a search of the forum archives, for a search of items of the same name. Our Camp-Inn trailers are relatively basic, and although there are changes thru the years as our trailers evolve forward, they are relatively the same. Chances are good that someone has...

    New Owner, Leaking Window Question

    +1 on fernlane's comment - reach out to Cary. I purchased an '14 550 a couple of months back. No actual problems yet, but I'm full of stupid questions and I want spares for just about everything. Cary is a super guy that is a great help.

    Canceling Trips In 2020

    not for me, I already had cabin fever. Difficult work year last year (not problems, just lots of hours with no opportunity to take vacation time) means I already had a couple weeks of vacation I didn't use roll over to 2020. Make no mistakes, I've got full respect for the Corona's, and the...

    Any Suggested Repair/maintenance Places, North Of Dallas ?

    I've got a (new to me) 550 with an undetermined amount of miles. I've just received a new set of (2) bearings from Cary, and after reviewing the forum archives, I'd like to get my bearings serviced, or replaced if necessary. I'm ~30 miles north of Dallas, and there are a couple of camper...

    Changing Flat Tire/what Jack To Use?

    I don't have a flat tire on my Camp-Inn, its been well over 20 years, and I hope I never have another. I do however want to be prepared. I was doing some clean up on my (new-to-me) 550 the other night, when I noticed stickers on my leveling jacks indicating that I should NOT use the leveling...
