    SOLD 2011 Raindrop 560 Ultra Suv #445

    Good morning PreyDrive and thanks for your interest. You're right that there is still moisture in the wood. When taking those pictures I concluded there must be an ongoing issue with that leak. As I was not the owner in 2019, I don't have details of what Camp Inn did -- but I believe the...

    SOLD 2011 Raindrop 560 Ultra Suv #445

    We are selling our 560 Ultra, #445. Asking $14,000 or best offer. We are located in Swampscott, MA. Photos here. This camper has brought us so much joy and taken us to incredible places. Now we aren't using it enough to justify keeping it to ourselves. Notes: 1. The trailer has been stored...

    Yakima Road Shower On Roof Rack-- Weight Issues?

    Thanks all for the anecdotes and advice. We did a test installation today and it looks great opposite the ARB awning. I'll post a couple pictures here once we do the final install later this week. One exciting detail: the user's manual confirms that the road shower can be used for potable...

    Yakima Road Shower On Roof Rack-- Weight Issues?

    There has been previous discussion of the Yakima road shower on the forums. We're considering buying the big one (10 gallons). I wanted to double check with the inquiring minds here, whether adding 120lbs to one side of the roof rack would be dangerous or exceed the designed limits in any way...

    Dust... Dust Everywhere

    Thanks Jenn, this is extremely helpful. We did a lot of ruminating about sealing techniques while cleaning the camper this weekend. Next time -- of course there will be a next time -- we hit a dirt road we'll try all of your suggestions. The biggest remaining open question is how to seal the...

    Dust... Dust Everywhere

    We did ~60 miles on dirt roads a couple days ago, traveling from Steens Mountain to Boise, ID. When we opened up the camper upon arrival, we found the road dust everywhere-- in the cabin, in the kitchen, on our pots and pans in the under-counter storage... I'm sure we didn't forget to close...

    SOLD 2011 Raindrop Ultra #445 - Beaverton, Or

    Gotcha. I've heard from a few Alltrack owners now that it doesn't have quite the spark of the TDIs. How about a 4WD TDI Sportwagen with the Alltrack suspension? I can dream, can't I...? If I keep care of this Sportwagen as well as I hope to, by the time I hit 200K miles I should be able to find...

    SOLD 2011 Raindrop Ultra #445 - Beaverton, Or

    Yeah, we've been enjoying it thoroughly. 50k miles is impressive. Did you make any changes to your maintenance schedule to account for extra wear from towing?

    Making List Of Potential Sites

    Joan turned me on to the Allstays iPhone app. It doesn't have a favoriting capability, but what I've been doing is taking screenshots of promising campsites on my phone, which lets me find them again later.

    SOLD 2011 Raindrop Ultra #445 - Beaverton, Or

    Hello all, thanks for the kind welcome. I'm happy to be the new owner of Far Fars. I've finally put up a thread in the Meet & Greet to say what all I've been up to since the purchase. Dustin, the TV is a 2013 TDI 6-speed manual. I've had great luck with it so far, how about you?

    In Which #445 Begins Her Second Life On The Road

    Two months ago, I met Joan in Beaverton to buy the 560 Ultra #445, "Far Fars". Hitched up to my 2013 TDI Sportwagen, she became my primary residence. #445 is called "Lyra" now, after the constellation and the character from Philip Pullman's wonderful "His Dark Materials" trilogy. My...

    Any Owners Near Flagstaff, Az That Would Offer A Tour?

    Good day all, I'm considering buying a used Camp Inn, but I've yet to meet one in person. Would any of you fine folks in or near Flagstaff, AZ be willing to give me an in-person tour of your camper in the coming weeks? Times being what they are, I'm happy to take any health-related precautions...
