Right! That should read: …early camping experiences frequently started with a massive breakfast, including bacon, eggs, bacon, pancakes, and bacon. Great tip on the egg rings! We’ve been buying the pre-cooked bacon <gasp>, Kroger’s house brand is as good as any, and better than most. Stores at...

The next entry is also for the kitchen. For me, early camping experiences frequently started with a massive breakfast, including bacon, eggs, pancakes, and bacon. Adult refinements included breakfast burritos (onions/peppers in the eggs), home fries, french toast, etc. It so happens that not...

Sportbrella in use on our previous 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)...

You’ll find it super adjustable for grind and quantity. I do a (very) strong 14oz. mug in the Aeropress, grind setting is always 7 (same grind we use for the drip maker for a crowd), quantity of 11 to 14, depending on the beans. Like many grinders the qty setting is basically a timer. That timer...

Coffee? Now you’ve got my attention! I’ve really been enjoying that particular grinder, both for daily use and when we have guests and the coffee must flow and flow! The OXO has good uniform grinding, consistent from grind to grind, and it’s easy to keep clean. The hopper holds 12oz of beans...

I found this chart at etrailer.com - I think of them as an authoritative source. https://www.etrailer.com/question-75604.html

Have a look at the AllStays web site. If I recall, they grandfathered in those of us who bought the app when it was a one-time purchase. Again, if I’m remembering correctly, previous purchasers continue to get lifetime updates.

From reading through the web page this looks like a really innovative product with lots of cool features for CI owners. I don’t know who originated the flat/hollow metal bars suspending an awning or tent concept (Bunduawn?), but this is the first time I’ve seen it applied to an ensuite-sized...

I don’t know if there is some reason you’re thinking a compressor should have its own power? When I bought one I was thinking 12v from the car or trailer battery would be available wherever and whenever I wanted to use it. I bought a much older version of this...

I believe deep cycle is supposed to be the higher capacity SLA/AGM battery type for lead-acid trailer batteries. High rate sacrifices some capacity so it can provide high cranking amps for a starter motor. Or something like that… On the other hand, not everybody needs max capacity from an AGM...

Ethanol-free aka clear gas is available in my region. Check out where the boaters or car racers buy their gas, you may have it available too. 6gal, immediately treated with sta-bil, gets us through 6mos of lawnmowing, chain saw, etc.

Just for fun I tried a search for Aux Arc on the AllStays Camp & RV app. It’s there, but to find it I needed to google to find that it is by Ozark, Arkansas. It would be different if I was on the road and wondering “what corps cg is near here?”

Anyone looking for a towable that could go most places an overland-modified 4WD truck/jeep could go should be able to find many options! In my region we have Oregon Trail’r, Oregon Trail'R - Beautiful & Rugged Custom Teardrop Trailers We looked at them before choosing Camp Inn. They seem to be...

That would be a different camper! As I understand the market position of the CI, it will go anywhere a car or car-based SUV will go and a bit more. There are teardrops that are set up for four-wheeling on trails and overland - you’d want a heavier frame, perhaps a framed body construction...

Considering it’s the only camper or tent pictured, I think that makes your CI the official camping accommodation for the park!
