    Fridge / Cooler New portable fridge options for Camp-Inn

    I do leave mine running in the galley when traveling. I also find travel days tend to use the most energy and the galley gets mighty hot during the day which keeps the fridge running a lot. But it's still more convenient for me than to try and put the fridge in the car during travel and then...

    Trash question

    Bear behavior tends to be a function of their environment. They are fast learners. Once they learn a food source they remember it and will seek it out again in the future. So it really does depend on where you are as to what to expect from any particular bear. Bears that live in national parks...

    Trash question

    Another thing I was told by a ranger in Yosemite years ago was to always cover your coolers in the car (including empty ones) with a towel or blanket or anything that blocks the view to the cooler. Once bears learn that coolers are a food bonanza, an empty one is just as tempting as a full one...

    Cheap wifi

    I switched to Verizon a few years back when I finally got fed up with ATT. For anybody that doesn't have a cell phone family plan (or multiple phones), the prepaid accounts (either company) are much better value than the post paid ones. I'm retired and don't "work" on the road. I do use the...

    Cheap wifi

    I have a Verizon prepaid phone account. For $35 I get unlimited calls and text as well as 15GB of data. Around town 15GB is plenty since almost everybody has free Wi-Fi. What I have found on my 23-25 day trips to Wyoming and Idaho is that I can usually get by using my phone as a hot spot with or...

    Cheap wifi

    The question is, how much data do you get for $24 a month and can you add or drop it anytime without extra fees?

    Isn’t there a link in your signature now that represents the badges that currently show in your signature? I’d like to find at least the 100 night one.

    Sink Sink / Water Tanks

    What everybody above said is all true. It’s handy, campground compliant as to gray water handling, better resale and saves very little money when buying. And did I mention how handy it is?

    So, how do you get them posted in your signature? I can’t find a link anywhere.

    Soft Starter for AC

    It can be a rabbit hole. The biggest thing to keep in mind though is that he just shows you how it's supposed to work. Those are all Chinese companies with little to no history as to quality and reliability. The professor makes a cut from all the discount codes. That said, I do own 6 sogens...

    Soft Starter for AC

    Oh, ok. That's a losing battle IMO. Sogens have gotten larger and cheaper and no doubt you could get one that will power up the A/C. I think Professor Hobotech has demoed some that can/will. But it will never run for very long because the A/C still requires a lot of energy that isn't easy to...

    Worst Trailer Comment Yet!

    Well, when they say it you can tell they mean it as a complement so I just take it that way and say, "no, it's better". :)

    Worst Trailer Comment Yet!

    That's a pretty common question I get. "Is that an Airstream"?

    Virtual Badges?

    I see them posted in members’ signatures. But I can’t find where to actually find them to put in your signature. Anybody know? TIA.

    Chris and Jennifer's First 100 nights!!!

    Thanks. I have the Andersen one and use it in the same campground space each year at Grand Teton. (I like the space for all the access to the sky I get for my solar.) I also have some Go Treads for digging out but I like the smaller ones to just not get stuck unable to get the 560 high enough...

    Chris and Jennifer's First 100 nights!!!

    Thank you. Is that the same size you bought. The 14x12? I've park in some soft soil before and this looks like a good way to limit sinking in too far.
