I upgraded to the motorized lid Fantastic Fan a few years ago when having hail damage repaired, but primarily because it struggled to stay closed and often flopped around. I’ve never figured out how to use it, specifically how to open it. I’ve tried many combinations of buttons, and ultimately...

I recently purchased a SnoMaster Classic CL60 fridge ahead of a 2 week trip with the family. My wife was tired of dealing with ice on trips over 2-3 days...me too! It's about $1000, so not an easy decision, but many of my Overlanding friends recommended it, I did as much research as I could...

Just returned from a couple nights at PINS (Padre Island National Seashore) This is literally camping ON the beach...any spot along "the longest stretch of undeveloped barrier island in the world" If you don't have a 4x4 vehicle, you might be best considering a nearby paved camp area...

We haven't had our 550 a year yet, but we've definitely experienced a bit of condensation, and our most recent trip includes a major downpour that ended up creating some leak issues that of course went under the mattress for it to soak up. Decided to see what else was out there. I've seen...

We purchased our CI after a car trip to Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Mount Rainier National Parks. We saw a few Teardrops on the road, and knew that's how we'd prefer to camp. I saw so many photos of cool blankets in your CI's, so we spent some time looking for just the right one for us...

While I can appreciate the look of the Baby Moon wheel and how it aligns to the Tear Drop original era, it's just not my preferred look. When I bought #318, the baby moon caps and wheels were all rusted as the previous owner spent a lot of time on the gulf coast, so an excuse to...

Pace Bend is near where the Pedernales and Colorado rivers meet to form Lake Travis. It's a huge park with most sites unmarked and first come first serve. Only sites with power require reservations...and personally I don't like them...not near the water and stacked next to each other too...

I purchased our 550 #318 used, and it had several trips to the coast causing a lot of rust on the stock rims. I'm swapping them out for a 15" Aluminum wheel within the size parameters Cary recommended. My trailer currently travels on Passenger tires, which the guy at Discount Tire noted would...

Great weekend at Garner State Park in our 550...spotted a 560 in the park as well. It's a bit of a story of multiple parks. The campground near the day use area looked overcrowded and had limited privacy. The water only tent areas were full of boy scouts...a bit noisy for us. We picked up...

Our first trip in our yet to be named CI 550 Classic #318 was to a relatively unknown Buescher State Park. Connected by a 12 mile road to the more popular Bastrop State Park (good bike ride), Buescher was not effected by the fires of a few years ago that devastated Bastrop State Park. It...
