    In The Market And Trying To Decide Which Unit

    Well, Snow gypsy, if you're looking for the best of the best in less-is-more camping, Camp Inn is it. Have taken ours from coast to coast multiple times and loved every minute. Quality all the way, green to the max, no off-gassing and easy, easy, easy. You know, you can rent one and try it...

    Death Valley

    It is a glorious place. Jim and I have been there several times and it always inspires. The valley colors constantly shift with the light and you are right, the starscape is staggering. It gets toasty in May, so we usually visit in late February or early March. That is peak time and crowed at...

    Securing your trailer

    I love the idea of nose art - stencils, too. Maybe even pin stripes or some of that wonderful fancy work you see on hot rods! So cool, or "kool", as Frank would say. Don't know if the Sharkhide would be a problem, but if you have the stenciling professionally done, they should know how to deal...

    Announcement 560 Ultra Order Just Placed!?!

    Hello there - you've chosen some fine options. We have an older, simpler model and are pleased as punch with it. But there have been times (Death Valley and that awful heat wave across the mid west last year) when air conditioning would have made life, or at least sleep, a lot easier. And then...

    Lassen national park

    Aaahhhh.. Lassen. A favorite spot of ours. Manzanita Lake is the campground with the showers, but a bit further up (and in Lassen we do mean "up") there are other more secluded and primitive campgrounds that provide a quieter time. Our favorite hike was the Cascade, a long, perilous climb...

    Spring Awakening

    Sounds like great fun. Good for you! We've been to the Grand Canyon several times and it never, ever disappoints - constantly changing beauty everywhere. It takes your breath away...especially if you take some of those steep trails! Enjoy. I'm reminiscing about that wondrous place right now...

    king bed

    I'm pitching in with the others - get the 560 with the bunk beds for your little ones. The four year old will still climb in with you 'cause that's what they do (and sleep sideways, shoving those sharp little toes into somebody's ribs). Besides, why would you really want a king size? As Jim...

    Securing your trailer

    Love the idea of an electrified TD. Riot. I'd try it just for the joyous chance of getting some would-be thief so fried he'd glow in the dark...but would more likely just melt my tires. Patty, we use a wheel lock and a hitch lock. Won't stop someone really determined, but the longer you can...

    Update Our Trailer Has Been Started!

    Great time for you and a great name for your nestling. Love Star Wars. But wait- Boba Fett. Mercenary. Are you suggesting you plan to skip along the edge of the Dark Side? Nah. BF is more of a pirate and who doesn't love pirates (excepting ships cruising the coast of Somalia. But that's...

    Itinerary Nw Round-up 2015

    Congrats on your retirement. We've been gone over 10 years and are so busy we can't understand how we did all this AND held down full time jobs. Bet you find yourself saying the same thing a year from now. Time to start the fun. Sue and Jim

    How to Back a Trailer

    I see my beloved husband has way too much time on his hands. Jenn, if he continues to pull your chain about maneuvering trailers, just refer to the dent in the right rear quarter of our truck. Great video, by the way. Sue - the better half of the pair.

    Calf Creek Campground - Boulder, Utah

    Another tip - At the campground in Capitol Reef there's a little museum/store. Home made pies fresh every morning. Absolutely the best I've tasted since grandma passed over. Also, as there is no shower in the campground, you have to drive a few miles over to a small town (forgot the name...

    Accidents

    Fun idea, Patty. Personally, I think a pair of handsome young men in athletic shorts (no shirts, please), running behind the trailer, waving red flags and yelling, "Don't hit me!" is a pretty good idea, too. But that's just me. Camp On, Sue

    Hello from Connecticut

    -5..Yikes. This is why you get a TD - to go snow-birding! After the autumn color fades (gotta stay for the autumn colors!), hitch up and follow the sun. Some of the best camping is off season in the National Parks. Uncle Frank is the perfect example. He's been in hog heaven at Quartzsite in the...

    Jenn, pay attention you may need these skills next time you go through the drive-through at McDonalds. Jim

    Calf Creek Campground - Boulder, Utah

    And speaking of Kanab - check the little local grocery stores while you're there (not the big chains) for Kanab Ranch beef. OH!!!!! The best ever! Now I really want to go back to Utah. Sue

    Update L'escargot Is Home...

    These teardrops are sooooooo hot, not a single thing I say could ever discourage anyone from buying them. And the tour is an absolute, joyous "must", just as some films are a "must see" - you won't be shot for not doing it, but if you're in the neighborhood...why not? Sue

    Calf Creek Campground - Boulder, Utah

    Way to go, Jim and Ani! I don't think I could add anything to that fantastic hoard of info except impress the importance of getting to the campground early. Southern Utah is one of our favorite camping areas...and it seems most of the world is of that same opinion. We go there late spring -...

    Congrats - another happy camper! I agree, the factory orientation is an absolute must for new owners. So much great info and Cary makes it fun. Now you have her and the great adventure begins! Keep in touch with us on the forum and share the joy. Love the name. Camp On, Sue and Jim

    Hello from Connecticut

    Hi Karen, hi Ward - Oh yes! Naming your TD is an absolute must. Sorta like a new ship, she has to have a name so she'll sail sweeter. Choose it ahead of time or wait a bit and she'll show you who she is. Sounds like you two have had a hard run lately. You deserve some quiet time and...
