Reminds me. Before I entered teardrop world, I visited Jade Cove in California's Big Sur. (This is a rare spot where you can find true natural jade in the U.S. -- if you're lucky. Was easier in decades past. But I remember there's a very nice campground right near there on the coast -- Plaskett...

Particular brand? I see WD40 has a silicone spray lubricant. Yay or nay?

Kinda liking that Kelty High Roads ...

I still have to wrestle with these two realizations/emotions: 1. There's a trailer format out there for everyone and their subjective needs. It's a little bit human nature that in order to justify our choice, there's a tendency to dismiss other choices as somehow wrong. I may not need to stand...

I just looked again, and the website product photos still show the triangular back door.

And perhaps I should be more open to the generator thing. My first-blush gut reaction is ooh, no, too noisy.

Thank you, gents. This is reassuring info. Not looking for weeklong solution. But it's HOT down here in Texas more of the year than not and even a night or two with AC option opens up a whole lot more camping options on the calendar. Big Bend as I visited recently (reminds me I should post about...

Having a look at Anker's C2000 solar generator. On paper, specs indicate it can power a small RV or home refrigerator sufficiently. Thoughts on using it off grid to run the Camp-Inn air conditioner? Andy ifs, ands, or buts as far as the electrical system and how it would be hooked up? If a hard...

They do. They are a triangular rear entry zipper entry (matching the mesh panel line). Clam shelters do not have a second opening though some owners have found a third-party fix to create one.

Quite nice. But I’m far too in love with the unique look of the original choice.

Smart thinking. And I’m all about the trailer jack journey. Will be watching.

Nice pics!

A few logistical challenges to start: 1. Staying at Paint Gap Road primitive campsite first few nights. Unfortunately, that site is right next to remains of an old but large ranch stock tank. Withe the heavy rains in July it essentially has become a giant mosquito pond in the middle of the...

What is Camp-Inn doing currently as OEM charger?

Certainly didn't need but it was kinda too damn cute (and well made) to resist. Isobutane or propane (with adapter) lantern. Got it on sale for $29. (The leather cover is an accessory.) More an ambiance thing than a key function thing.

I’ve been on most trails other than a couple of the worst (Black Gap, Glenn Springs Road and a couple of others). The Outback with good tires CAN do any of them but I don’t wanna tear it up to prove it. Important to check current conditions because after rains trail conditions can change a...

2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness. Big Bend is my happy place. I grew up in El Paso so harsh desert mountains is my jam.

Excited for my first proper extended trip in the 560 Ultra. Houston to Big Bend for about 10 days. Probably 1400 miles when complete. Split campsites between full primitive (my preference) and the developed Chisos Basin Campground (water and showers but no electric). It'll be a hotty during the...

I’m camping with you!

Looking forward to your road reports or recap. Live in Houston and New Mexico is very much on our list!
