Sold our 2010 560 Ultra in June 2017. A quality product, and the best, most consumer-friendly company I've ever dealt with.

SOLD! Well, looks like we'll be putting our loaded, very good condition and much-loved and cared for 2010 560 Ultra up for sale in the near future. Over the past seven years she's proved to be one of the highest quality products we've ever owned, and Camp-Inn probably the best company ever for...

Just a belated endorsement of rotus8's very apt thermostat suggestion: I recently bought the same or very similar Honeywell thermostat he recommends on line for around $25 including shipping and replaced the stock Camp-Inn model that had been giving me problems (the kids had probably kicked it...

Yep, I have two that I've used for several years for car washing. Helps to get the great bulk of the water off quickly before the car begins to dry and leave mineral deposits, and then I hit the whole thing with a towel for the final drying. And, yes, they work even better on my 560 because it...

Wow, clearly my mistake not to look for zebras. My apologies for replying; won't happen again.

Well the classic answer ("...horses, not zebras"; or "Occcam's razor," take your pick) would follow this line of reasoning. You glanced in the mirror within seconds of the sound (the blowout, followed by the typical sound of running on a flat) and saw smoke that had been generated within the...

Here in the West, we can get dry ice at Safeway grocery stores, and I've seen it in Smith's grocery stores in New Mexico. Usually found in small three-foot size, cube-looking freezers in the front of the store right after the checkouts. Locked, since it can be dangerous for kids (or adults who...

I think we determined in another thread that the maximum physical size battery you can use depends on the size of your trailer's battery enclosure, which in turn depends on which of the two battery options your trailer has. And as for Costco, their unlimited time any reason no questions asked...

Re: 550 Ultra Yeah, some states require brakes to register a trailer, depending on the weight. For California, it was 1,500 pounds. Saw a AAA triptik page once that listed all the states' limits, and I think some may have been lower, some didn't have a limit. My manufacturer's certificate...

Oops, the fingers are faster than the mind at that hour (re: beam). As I say, never experienced living in one, just a tour the Navy thought every officer-to-be should take, even one who would never go to sea (me). It was either join or be drafted, so I took the Navy, figuring that'd be the...

Having a little chuckle here now myself, Bear. Having seen firsthand up close the spaces inside a nuke attack boat (SSN), I am reminded now that the captain's quarters are about the floorspace inside my 560 (maybe a little more or less, it's been 45 years). And the next two ranking officers...

Re: 550 Ultra Commonly used to mean, "or best offer."

You must be a man of iron will. I would not have been able to resist plugging the generator exhaust pipe with snow.

Ah, yes, the Webfoot syndrome. As a native Oregonian (I came into this world via Tillamook), I remember it well. We know why they're called "The Ducks" over there in Eugene, don't we?

Yes, we here on the left coast are suffering right along with the rest of you. Why, it never got above 60 today, and tonight temps will plunge into the 40's. Pray for us.
