I’ve been eyeing the GSI anodized aluminum camp dutch ovens forever. I know it seems like sacrilege, rest assured my cast iron collection remains extensive. A local retailer is having a retirement sale, and there was a 14” anodized, retails $165, for $60. Sold! (Sorry, only the one) Reading...

A few years back I installed a CTEK 12v/12v 20a charger, same as CI supplies as an option. This morning I came across this test relative to larger chargers and how their loads may impact the life of an alternator. Conclusion: not a concern when driving (higher alternator rpm). Could be a...

The badge image for “50 nights” seems to be missing from my sig, and others I checked. Running on an iPad Mini gen5/safari

Long out of production, we bought it but found other solutions for awnings. So many choices! Now I'm cleaning out the garage - help a camper out! REI Alcove with 2 Wind Walls. Used twice. 2 Wind Walls will cover all 4 sides, or 3 sides as needed. $100 local sale in Portland OR. I'd be willing...

This is a great design, and really well made, but didn't suit our style of camping. We love the awning though! This 8'x8' Awning Room has only been put up on our concrete driveway. It's pretty clean, never used camping. It features a reinforced poly floor, $195 local in-person sale only - no...

****Sale Pending**** This CI 560 Storage Cover is medium gray in color, rarely used, some dust on it. Perfectly functional. $275 plus shipping, or local in the PNW. (If you'd prefer new they are currently $431 at CI)

A CI is not a big camper, and one of the challenges I’ve faced is how I might bring way too much just-in-case stuff on our camping trips. So, a few notes on some handy items that take hardly any space, yet seem to contribute to our camping. First on my list is the 8-foot Sportbrella (link)...

This well-appointed 550 is for sale locally in a suburb of Portland, Oregon. This is not my camper, I can’t answer any questions about it, I don’t know if it is still available. Please respond to the Craigslist ad if interested. 2008 Camp-Inn 550 - rvs - by owner - vehicle automotive sale...

It appears that our battery (larger AGM option) is gone, it self-discharged down to 7.2v when I had it off the charger for 3 days. ***edit*** Later, I discovered it wasn’t self-discharge, but that there was a wiring short that connected the positive terminal to ground. ********** After...

We just found a 560, so now our trusty 550 is looking for a new home. Well behaved, VG+ condition. Always garaged & well maintained! $12,750 to forum members. This setup would run about $22,700 new, FOB Wisconsin. This trailer is in Portland, Oregon. All the usual amenities, plus: Ultra SUV...

Seen on portland craigslist: (Hopefully a picture or link displays here!)

(I am not the owner of this camper, don't know the seller, and haven't seen it. If interested, please respond to the CL ad!) Found on Craigslist, a 2007 550 Ultra in Cave Junction, Oregon. This is southern Oregon, the nearest town of any size is Grants Pass, not so far from Medford/Ashland...

I’m considering what electrical capacity / charging upgrades may be best for extended boondocking away from shore power. Ultimately, for me, a camper is a way to carry a big power source for CPAP usage. Otherwise, I couldn’t camp. Running out of power means going home or to another shore power...

Over last weekend we travelled from Portland up to Vancouver BC, to pick up a 2012 550 Ultra! At last... it took a while for us to find a 3-day weekend for the trip. All is good! Though it took an extra hour at the border crossing (in addition to the 45-minute lineup), the re-importation went...

Dustin, please excuse my ignorance - did a brief site search and didn’t come up with anything. Is that a couch in your 550? Factory, custom? Is there a post on the site with more info? Or, did you move up to a 560...

Hi Camp-Inn-ers! We’ve been looking at these TDs online... would love to see a Camp-Inn (hint, hint!). It seems like there are a dozen TD builders in Northern Oregon, and maybe 4 or 5 of them in Portland alone. We’ve seen several... and are thinking Camp-Inn, for reasons of mature and...
