Dave_n_Linda- That's great feedback! Cary was just explaining some of that to me, too. It appears the technology hasn't quite caught up enough yet to make it a huge efficiency gain. So, I'll likely quit looking for now. You guys have saved me some time/effort/money!

Here is a link...they're a little pricey but seal really well, too: OXO Square Containers

Thanks Evan, Pat Frank and Jim & Jamie! Evan- Yes...I'm humbled! I love to tinker and find simple solutions. Product design is a passion for me and I'm glad it worked out. It took a lot of time just sitting there...staring...waiting for the solution to slap me in the face. But finally it...

Great advice, as always, Frank! If I knew how to use photoshop I would have rigged up a picture to attach of you superimposed on your picture above with a margarita in one hand and an "I Will Rebuild" sign in the other!

Frank- The table still has the "flip out" angle bracket that comes with the table, but my table extension bracket also provides support for the fold-out portion of the table. Just like in the original position, the hardware on the camper carries the bulk of the weight. It works great! I...

Yay!!!

We use this at home and while camping... Simply the Best Coffee Maker I Ever Used

No, that's great advice! I made sure it has some foot holes for good staking down, when possible. The weighted bags seem so expensive. Your idea with PVC sounds terrific and I'm also doing some some "in my head" designs using water for weight since that's available on site, but not necessary...

I'll be sure to post, if/when, Jenn!

Pat- I'll PM you some info on how I did it. If you have any Qs just let me know!

I LOVE the Lodge Hibachi they have on the website you shared. I had never seen that before! If I wasn't hooked on my Green Egg I'd snatch one up in a heartbeat! It would probably last forever...just like everything else Lodge. And whoa...those are great prices!!

Pat- I got extra hardware from Cary, but I bought the bracket from Lowe's. It's just alum angle bracket and comes in lengths. Re the paper towel roll/holder...no, we have to remove the roll from the holder when we shut the hatch. Plus, you have to put the holder in exactly the right spot so...

I thought I'd share a few customizations I've done recently. It's hard to make such a fantastic product any better, but we all use our Camp-Inns differently and sometimes personal "tweaks" are in order. So, here are some I did for us. I designed a table extension...LOVE it. My goals were 1...

Received our new EZ-Up today and couldn't wait to test it out. It's 8' x 12'. That's perfect for us as we didn't want something too big, didn't want the legs to be in the way but wanted to make sure it could cover the full galley, and wanted it to match the trailer well. We LOVE it and can't...

We're looking at simply replacing the Xenon bulbs with LEDs to save energy. When boondocking, the LEDs will draw much less power than the Xenon. We love the fixtures that came in the 560 and wouldn't change them. We just want less power usage. I found a couple suppliers, but was looking for...

Wow, did I enjoy this! Great write up and it looks like you had a fantastic journey! While I may not share your love of Limburger on onions, I can certainly relate to the joy your Camp-Inn brings you. Here's to you both enjoying many, many years of fun in Vuggie!

Has anyone explored the option or found a solution for replacing the red and white Xenon lights in the cabin and galley with LEDs? I'm considering this and figured some smart person here already either did that or figured out why they can't. Any input would be helpful...thanks!

I have Aereo now. Doesn't really work for travel. I probably won't be keeping it at home either. We just don't watch that much TV and what we get from a little flat indoor antenna works fine around here. We love iTunes downloads on the road though!

Doing some serious thinking about this one! Looks like a lot of fun!

Michael- If the forecast calls for pain? I'd get the hell outta there!!! ;)
