    Hypervent Vs Froli

    I installed Froli under standard Camp Inn Mattress on my 560 a few years ago. No topper. My sleep is perfect there - rivaling many $$$ memory foam mattresses at home, over the years. There is no "extra" room in the foot box, but I can sleep without making contact (after a few nights training ;)

    Fantastic Fan Light Shade?

    I couldn't find a single after market item that worked. I wound up purchasing one of the Ultra breeze fan covers (large PE plastic shield that lets you open even when raining). I just throw it in cabin and load it up with pillows or clothing for transport so it doesn't really take up much...

    Good Discussion Of Lithium Batteries

    The onboard battery indicator won't be much use - it'll read 12.8V for quite some time, and then nothing ;) Assuming you have an on-board 12v battery tender, you won't want to let the tender "maintain" your LiFe battery. Cant tell if you replaced it with the Duracell one or not. I...

    Time To Sling Poo -- Looking For Porta Potti Recommendations

    We've had the clearwaste folding toilet stowed under bed for over a year. Kids ASK to use it when we camp. Just replaced bags for a trip out west, but thanks to amazing facilities at RMNP and state parks on the way, didn't need to use it this trip ;) I would recommend lightspeed or other...

    Battery Agm Vs Lithium

    I looked at that charger. Solid company. Would be a very good replacement. However, since I already installed a 30A Solar MPPT Charger to accommodate (2) 160W flexible Solar Panels, no need to replicate the functionality. I use a 24v DC Transformer when I have A/C but no solar (plugs into...

    Battery Agm Vs Lithium

    You May!!! ;) The Renogy Batteries list for $900 on their website. You can find them cheaper on Amazon, and on their website when they have a sale. If you're in the market wait until Memorial Day or 4th July (or any other holiday), when they'll probably have 20% off on website.

    Battery Agm Vs Lithium

    Resurrection Post: I had a fabulous 12d trip this summer out west on house battery with solar, but couldn't make it 3 muggy days this winter running the Dometic and fans under rain. Its time to replace my house battery. I am putting a 100Ah Li Fe Phosphate battery in my 560 this weekend...

    Good Discussion Of Lithium Batteries

    I've been in a 560 when a bear shook me awake looking for food . . . That's another story ;) This Ecoflow looks sweet. If I didn't already own a GZ Yeti, I'd be all over this. Battery technology is advancing by leaps and bounds - we're so close . . . . . Hopefully when I need to replace...

    Saw A Ci In Sd

    CI Sighting on July 23 on the first leg of my cross country trip from Fl --> SD. Was headed west on I-90 near Souix Falls when I saw someone with a light blue TV pulling a CI on the overpass. I did a double take in my rearview mirror. Small world ;)

    Shenandoah National Park, Virginia - Loft Mtn. campground

    We were on Skyline Drive in June - just up the road at Big Meadow Campground. It was our first official "family" outing, with all 4 of us in the CI. We had an amazing experience as well. Tons of hiking trails, waterfalls, and beautiful weather (even the kids wanted to stay for a few more...

    Side Tent Side Tent On Concrete Solution

    Have you thought about one of those light speed privacy shelters? Mine has a mesh floor that can be up/down, and can definitely double as a dedicated shower/loo. If you can manage a large flexible solar panel, I'd imagine you can mange one of those popup tents. :)

    New Option For Fully Charging An Agm Battery

    I installed the Renogy 30A Rover with the BT module. It had to go in the Galley / sideways. I would have preferred another location/orientation, but it's protected and functional. I used power pole connectors to match the GZ Yeti, so as long as the galley is open/unlocked, I can run the...

    Flexible Solar Panels

    I'm not sure how your CI is setup, assume 12v DC port? Just make sure that whatever solution you employ won't subject the terminal ends of your 12ga wires to too much stress. The posts on that will cause your wires to meet at 90 degrees (will need something to protect from rain/elements)...

    Backup Camera

    I have a similar setup, and very much appreciate the simplicity of just plugging it in! +1 for remote screen P.s. the seller from Amazon contacted me to ask about product function. Without requesting any type of review, he also offered me a 2nd one, no charge. ‘Who am I to blow against the...

    You're welcome - I have the exact same items in my cart right now, waiting to pull the trigger ;) Let me see some pics when you get yours installed - I'm sure ONE of us will be reaching out to Cary soon.

    Flexible Solar Panels

    Anyone fooled with Renogy Flexible Panels? Seems they could easily be placed on top of TT while parked (or placed anywhere your extension cord could reach). I'm thinking of installing Anderson Powerpole adapter to controller in TT - so I could use panel for EITHER the GZ Yeti or TT. Cost is...

    New Option For Fully Charging An Agm Battery

    I'm seriously considering that 40A Rover. Anyone have experience installing a non-check solar charger? Can I just connect it to the 50A Breaker (and add a 40A fuse) on the positive side?
