I'm sorry to hear of your encounters with fire ants. I was happy to have them out of my life when I moved up to Maryland from New Orleans in 1998. Unfortunately I think they're slowly making their way up north. My advice would be to do everything possible to seal any food. We just had black...

Any ongoing issues that the collective wisdom of the campinnforum might help sort out?

I haven't ever seen anyone do this. I imagine you could rig something up to attach it with paracord and tarp attachment points but it would be pretty sloppy. I think it is kind of a square peg/round hole kind of thing. The CI side tent has buckles and straps to try cinch it up next to the...

The timing of this question is really good. Up till now I would have said that there isn't a decent solution to the problem you're trying to solve. I don't think you'll get an SUV tent to fit well onto the side of the 560 - these typically tie around an open hatch and snug up underneath. You...

Got it. Sometimes life will throw you a curve ball. Hopefully you'll be doing some fun things besides camping this fall.

Yikes! Too soon! September - November is my favorite time to camp in the mid-Atlantic. September is still warm without the crazy crowds, October is great for leaf peeping and November is nice late fall without "freezing" weather. We did our last camping trip of 2017 in your neck of the woods...

Sounds like quite an itinerary! I hope you'll start a new thread at the time and keep us posted on your progress during the trip.

How is the fit between the trailer door and the awning tent door? I would imagine that you'd have to leave the tent door unzipped all the time to be able to open the trailer door? Any pics inside would be great. I can't imagine retrofitting at this point but this could be a very attractive...

I'm pretty happy with the grab bars too. Although I'm 47 and still fairly limber, they're really nice to have. It just eases getting in and out and is a more stout attachment point to hang things (like my double walled Rtic water cup and the Luminoodle string lights). It's an option I'd...

It's a tough question to answer how much security is "needed". Most of us put locks on the hitch latch. I also bought a lock to fit in the hitch itself along with a wheel lock. A determined thief could thwart all off these efforts but these will certainly slow him down. There are also gps...

Interesting perspective! For those of us contemplating full timing, the thought of getting rid of all the stuff that owns us seems liberating. Not having the cost and concerns about ongoing upkeep of a house are certainly attractive. What are the biggest challenges you face and are they...

Are you all also exploring Nova Scotia this trip? I'm thinking about a 2 week trip next summer around the area. Just at the earliest stages of planning at this point.

I'm sure there are others on the forum who know the area better than me and who can provide more informed suggestions but I think you could have a great trip just touring parts of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan and not trying to cover it all. Based on what you're describing with the 2 kids...

Hi Sarmay, I think it is pretty unlikely that you'll have trouble with the trailer on the first trip requiring help from the folks at Camp Inn. In fact I don't recall a single anecdote of someone needing a repair on a new unit. I don't think that many people use the 2 year warranty. Most of...

Reading how much extra equipment and cost it requires to keep a fridge operational it makes me wonder if it's worth the effort. Why not get a modern high end ice chest that will hold ice for a week or so? I like having abundant ice each day for ice water and also use the melt water as...

Dixie, I think you ought to go ahead and buy one of these Camp Inns. You've asked 13 times if one is "still available". You need to get out and do some camping!

Please report how things go at Trap pond. Most folks just head to the beaches of Delaware and ignore anything inland. I'd love to hear how it goes there as this is within easy striking distance for me. Thanks.

Did you make reservations beforehand or are you able to find spots ok just rolling in to the different campgrounds?

I don't use a CPAP but do have the above unit. It's pretty nice in terms of flexibility in power delivery (120AC, 12V and several USB outlets). It fits well in the front cabinet (at the head of the bed). It will tell you power output or input (in watts) at any given moment. I also got a 100W...

I go to the car washes with the hand held power wash. Unfortunately the only one on my side of town recently closed. If you do scrub, be sure to follow the grain of the aluminum brushing.
