    First 154 nights!

    OK, the links to describe the guidelines for posting are all dead so I'm winging it. If it's too long, sorry, feel free to bail at any time. If it's too short I don't have an answer. This took me forever to put together so feel free to ask questions if you just can't live without knowing more...

    Yellowstone NP and Grand Teton NP

    I ventured into both parks this spring. 4 nights in Yellowstone followed by 14 nights in Grand Teton. Approximately 3700 mile RT when it was all done. It was supposed to rain most of the days in Yellowstone but it ended up being light hail and snow which was actually pretty cool. I was camped...

    Need Help Notifications going straight to spam?

    I've previously not had this problem. However, since the site went down and came back up, every single notification I get goes straight to spam. This despite the fact that I have the sender email address saved in my contacts list. I'm wondering if this site has changed server hosts and possibly...

    Grand Teton NP

    I've been visiting this park (with brief side trips to Yellowstone) the last few years. The wildlife and landscapes are nothing short of spectacular. This year (for the first time ever) I made a spring trip as well as a fall trip. I recently booked a trip for next spring and will very likely try...

    I Need Some Kind Of Air Pump/compressor

    Looking for advice on what to buy. I want something I can use at home (or maybe even on the road) that will allow me to top off the air in my car tires as well as the 560. There seem to be multiple types on the market and I'm wondering what others use or recommend or recommend to avoid. My...

    Grand Teton Np

    Recently I returned from a trip to Grand Teton NP. It was my first visit there but certainly won’t be my last. I spent 7 nights camped at the Colter Bay RV park. I spent all but one day within Teton NP. I spent one day driving around Yellowstone. My main purpose for the trip was to see and...

    Bad Time For Fridge Problems

    I'm leaving in the morning for Grand Teton NP. Fired up the Dometic to pre-chill before packing it tonight. Although I have it set to 37 which has been my previous setting, It doesn't seem to go below 45. But... when I measure the inside temp it measures near 0. ??????? I don't really have time...

    California Redwoods

    I recently completed a trip up to the Redwood State and National Parks. I stayed at Kamp Klamath in Klamath, CA. It's a really nicely wooded campground a mile and a had from the beach. Having made previous trips to the redwoods I decided to try and broaden my horizon on this trip and seek out a...

    Yosemite Np

    I've made many visits to Yosemite at different times of the year. For the last 6 years (except when they closed the park) I've always gone the first week of May. The waterfalls are flowing and the dogwoods and redbuds are blooming. It's a very beautiful time to visit. Unfortunately, this year...

    Zion Np And The Eastern Sierra

    Well, I made it home from my previously mentioned trip. I spent 3 nites in Zion and 3 nites in the Alabama Hills of the Eastern Sierra. I also spent one night in the parking lot of the Eureka Casino in Mesquite, NV. The weather in both locations was quite similar. Cold in the morning, cold in...

    Off To Zion Np

    After a few false starts on previously planned winter trips, I'm heading out tomorrow for Zion. I guess it's almost spring but none the less, I'm rolling! Going with the new ebike and new bike rack. I've used the bike rack on the car a few times but this will be the first run with the trailer...

    The Redwoods

    I just booked a trip to the Redwoods for June 5-11. I'll be staying at Kamp Klamath in Klamath, CA. I thought I would mention it in case anybody might be interested in going around that time. Although I haven't camped there before, I've made two trips about the same time of year, including...

    Fall Colors Tour

    I picked up my new 560 this summer and spent 3 weeks bringing it home. Since then I have been waiting for smaller crowds and cooler weather. The time had arrived. I planned a journey to photograph some fall colors. I’ve been doing this every year for about 8 years now. I started in the Eastern...

    Musings From "any Port In A Storm" Tour

    I recently journeyed to Necedah, WI from SoCal to pick up my new 560. The whole trip was just short of 4 weeks and exactly 3 weeks were spent on the return trip, trailer in tow. Total miles 5,800 with 3,700 accumulated on the return. Oh, and prior to this trip I’d never towed anything before...

    Fridge / Cooler Fridge Cycle Times/watts Used Per 24 Hours?

    I've read through the older fridge threads but was wondering if anybody has any recent experience with actual cycle times and/or watts used per 24 hours on a Dometic or possibly Iceco fridge. From the prior threads I think I would probably carry the fridge in the TV while getting somewhere, but...

    About Those Maximum Lengths

    I've only ever car camped until now. Soon I will be pulling a 560 behind me. I know the trailer measures 14' and my car is appx 15'. Recently I was looking at campsites on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. I noticed many different maximum lengths, some almost but not quite my 29'. (27' seeming...

    Daily Miles Driven?

    I know this is very subjective and dependent on many factors. But I’m wondering......when you know you will be driving all day, is there an average amount of miles you normally expect or try to cover? I’m trying to get a general idea in order to plan my 2,000 mile trip home from Wisconsin...
