Great news. Glad everyone is doing well.

Okay, so it's been like 8 hours since your post. Is the expected little one a boy, girl, or surprise? Of course, the most important issue is best health wishes to baby and mother. Jay has some more time to perfect the conversion from couch to bunk bed for adventures with grandchildren. Your...

It's not like the days of yore. Campgrounds and laws frown on dumping gray water (dish water / cooking water / hand washing water) on the ground now-a-days. Therefore, you need to contain the used fresh water for proper disposal. (No need to get into a discussion about how the gray water is good...

Old has been exchanged to usher in the new, Wish happy two-thousand fifteen to all of you. Being a true optimist, next year will be best; New adventures and travels to the east and west From sun-up to sundown explore the vast terrain. Trekking forests, mountains, lakes and coasts is not...

Beautifully made and a great fit. The idea of putting items that get used the most near the top of the storage earns you an A for efficiency school. The tung oil application highlights the poplar grain. It just pops!

It is very evident that Phil was loved by his immediate family and the Camp-Inn family. I too never had the pleasure of meeting him. However, from the opening post, he could only have been a wonderful person, employee, and skilled craftsman. I agree that the last 600 Teardrop / Raindrop trailers...

Over the hills and through the trees To the sea shore away from freeze Lower down the jacks Sit back and relax Enjoy life and the ocean breeze

I have a V6 Toyota FJ Cruiser with five speed automatic transmission, so I cannot really answer your question with experience about a 4 Cylinder engine. Most of the time on level roads, I can drive pulling a light trailer in fifth gear without constantly shifting to maintain speed. Fifth...

"I'm in awe," he said with hat removed and a deep bow. Two entries back to back, and the last one is a work of art.

Here's another. Whether 550 or 560 matters not It’s a great little home on wheels that you bought So plan a trip Pack up and split And use those camping skills that your father taught

Yes, Yes. More rhymes, and limericks count too. Good contributions Gina and Frank. Winter is not generally ideal camping weather (at least in this part of the world), so it's time for fun and creativity in the literary venue. So let's see more poetry.

After a long trip of motels, diners and laundry mats, I began looking for a small pull-behind house on wheels; When up pops tiny Raindrop trailer on the internet, Complete with all the comforts of couch, bed, and kitchen meals. I said to self, can you afford it? And replied, “you bet.”...

Jean - I would be interested in your reason for preference on the traditional fantastic fan over the rain sensing unit. At this point I have ordered my CI with the rain sensor, but there is plenty of time to fine tune my order. I would appreciate your experience with both.

Nice clean job. You are a craftsman sir.

rgupnorth - those would protect the front of the trailer alright. When you go 4x4 without the trailer, if you added broom bristles to the bottom mud flap, you could brush out your tracks. Then even an Apache couldn't determine where you went. Kind of a modern twist to an old west tacit of...

Thanks everybody. As far as dry ice, I would definitely wrap in butcher paper (newspaper has been known to transfer ink to plastic materials), and never just drop dry ice inside. The temperature of dry ice is -110º F. Direct contact with the inside surface of the cooler would be questionable...

A person can easily go off grid in the Rocky Mountain States. If I was out chipping away at rocks for 5-6 days in the summer (no hook ups and a two hour drive each way for supplies), a cooler that will function longer does have value. Frank is correct that I would be out for a while and not...

Mark n Casandra. Thank you so much, those measurements confirm that the Yeti 35 is the only cooler of the three Yeti models in consideration (listed in the first post) that will fit the kitchen niche. The method used by Van and Terri makes a lot of sense. If I follow their technique, than I...

Thanks for sharing experiences. Has anyone put a tape measure to the actual width of the cooler area?

I traveled to Ontario and New England this past fall. It was a 3-1/2 week genealogy research and sightseeing trip with a departure from Kansas on Oct 14. I returned on Nov 6. My outbound route took me through Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan (SE tip), Ontario, New York (extreme...
