There is a GPS type device sold by a company called ANYTRACK that sells the device for $279. You also need to purchase a service contract for around $130 per year. If heaven forbid your trailer is stolen the company will track and report the location to you. The system uses SRINT cell towers to...

Hutch, I replied this AM but was having PC problems so I'm not sure if you got the message. We are on the way to Santa Fe, about 10 minutes off the highway. Santa Fe is definately worth a visit, but if you're only going through there to get to the 4 corners area, Highway 550 which runs through...

Hutch The last time I was in there about 6 years ago, a guide was not required to backpack into the canyon. However I would check with Navajo Natl. Monument Hqs. to make sure that has not changed. Over the last 5 years or so there has been a significant amount of looting of Anasazi artifacts...

Hutch, Strange indeed, I had no idea, so you must take my advice if the gods of the open road are to be with you. The trip into Keet Seel is only tough as you start and end since the main route is at the bottom of a canyon and you have to go down a very steep slick rock trail and naturally come...

While in the Four Corners area there are a couple of must see locations that are not to be missed, the first is Navajo National Monument home to two magnificent ruins, Betatikan, and Keet Seel. Betatikan is an easy walk in, Keet Seel is a 22 mile round trip backpack or a one day trip on...

Our choice will be the 550, for weeks we had contemplated the 560 due to the couch and a bit of extra room. We finally realized that we were buying a Teardrop to go camping and to be outside. Here in the Southwest the days are warm and mostly dry, but the nights are cool so having a warm place...

As an electrical engineer I can pretty much guarantee that the 50 Amp circuit would power both your 5th wheel and the raindrop with both A/C units running full blast, the question as Evan states is the configuration of the panel. Do you have the receptacles required to plug both units in? If you...

You would need at least a 1.5 to 2 KW generator to run even a small A/C or one rated at 5 to 6000 BTU . As a general rule most home type generators are not designed to run continuously at full load. Four to 6 hours at a time should present no problem for a quality unit.I believe Yamaha has a 2...

The only problem that I see is that you can't drive your teardrop to Maui, other than that I can see no problems whatsoever

Update from New Mexico: Due to the high demand for natural gas,the gas company has shut off the gas to our town, no heat except for space heaters, I have 3 going so based on Murphys Law we are probably overtaxing the grid which means they could shut off the power. I do have a woodburning stove...

In Albuquerque the temp this morning was -6. The last time it got this cold was in 1971. We only received 2-4 inches most of which was blown away by the wind. Roads are clear and dry, but the schools are closed since the busses won't start. I moved down here from Denver 2 years ago and thought I...

Since many of us do not have 15 to 20 grand lying around what has been your experience in financing a Campinn. I am afraid that my local bank here in New Mexico won't know the difference between a teardrop and a lemondrop. Have you used local lenders of national RV lenders and what has been your...

One prime rule of winter camping is never to use the yellow snow as your cooking water supply, I did that once while on a backpack and my wife has never forgiven me.
