    560 Ultra Leaking Fantastic Fan

    Symptoms are intermittent water in the cabin; visible (small) stream of water dripping through the storage compartments located above your knees and then onto the bed. Upon inspecting the roof I found that some of the screws holding the fan onto the roof have lost their dab of sealant. I think...

    Need Help, Water Coming In!

    Second try at posting this, hoping it's not a duplicate. We're on the road, down in Fort Lauderdale from NJ. It's been rainy for days and will be raining for the next week. We will be unable to get the TD inside and will be traveling up the east coast with a tropical storm for two or three...

    Receiver Hitch Campinn Hitch Receiver

    I'd like to add the hitch receiver to the back of our 560. The 560 has the bumper installed already. Is the receiver a user installable item? What does install entail: Is it a simple bolt on or will I be drilling mounting points into the frame? Or is it beyond my pay scale and going to...

    First real trip

    I'm writing this from the cozy confines of our Campinn. We're staying in the campground on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia. This is night two and it's a breezy 50 or so degrees. The conditions inside are delightful. Carole is asleep and Ace is definitely drowsy. You can just hear the...

    Worcester, MA suggestions

    We'll be traveling/camping up to Worcester, MA in the next few days to pickup a mountain bike I just bought. We live in NW Jersey so it's just a three to four hour trip. Any suggestions for campgrounds in the area? We generally prefer State and County over private. We'll also have two dogs...

    Successful outing with the Jeep!

    Good day today! Got the Raindrop hitched up to the Cherokee and drove around the neighborhood. Our 'hood is very hilly, so this was a test for the little 4 cylinder Jeep with no tow package. And we did well! We could go and we could stop without any angst. Don't even have the brake...

    Key Stuck

    I'm afraid I know the answer to this already. I just tried the key for the cabin lock. It's stuck. Really stuck. The key went in horizontally, I gave it a counter-clockwise 1/4 turn...and nothing. Handle didn't lock, but the key will not rotate at all, except in a loosey-goosey kind of...

    Side Tent Side Tent...with Roof Racks

    Went to do the inaugural side tent set up. Started to read the directions and got stuck on the instruction to remove the roof rack if one is installed. But I don't WANNA de-install the roof rack! So I tried to install it with the rack still in place. Not so good. The solution may be to make...

    Leak Diagnosis

    Anyone have a leak into the cabin diagnosed and repaired that was from the AC area? In our last rains, I mean heavy rains, a wet spot developed in the foot area of our bed. There was a small drip that was coming down the wall from behind the overflow drain pan exit hose. The hose itself...

    Is it possible to have the AC option installed on a 550 that was built without it? Or is that just a no go zone? Jeff, Carole and Ace Sparta, NJ

    FOUND Wtb: 560 With Ac

    OK, it looks like we're in the hunt! Haven't been able to set foot in a rig yet, but will be doing that soon. Willing to travel to midwest and south, not so willing to go to the west or southwest, unless it seemed really right... I know these don't come up for sale very often so I just wanted...

    Greetings from New Jersey!

    Not new to camping but new to retirement! We're looking for a kinder, gentler way to camp. Have been Glamp really. Thought about Airstreams, but just too much in many ways. Put a deposit on a new SOB fiberglass big white box thing and just never felt right about it and cancelled. The CI...
