    First 27 nights: Some questions and impressions

    Brand should not matter. A WD40 brand of silicone sounds fine. The options John and Van showed would also work great too. Really just needs to be something that stays in the lock pretty well and has some water repellent characteristic. Cary

    First 27 nights: Some questions and impressions

    I have to disagree with Sweeney on this one (that does not happen often). We have found that graphite lubricants should never be used in the door locks on the camper. It ends up mixing with concrete dust from the road surface when driving in the rain and the graphite makes a super hard concrete...

    2,400-watt solar generator -- running the AC?

    A 2000watt solar generator will be enough watts to run the camper's AC system. That part will work well. The question, is the one that Dustin is pointing out, is whether the battery is big enough to be useful. One thing I have noted with the 2000watt SoGens are they have bigger batteries and...

    12 volt ac??

    Probably a compressor like what is in the portable fridges we all use in our campers. I would say for a AC unit as small as you are shooting for the power consumption would be about the same as a large portable fridge. Cary

    Mounting prodigy brake controller on 560 Ultra.

    We have mounted a couple of the Prodigy RF units for customers. Simply mounted it to the curb side frame rail (opposite of the trailer jack). Very easy to do. Our experience with these units have been mixed. A couple customers using them have had good experiences and a couple customers using...

    12 volt ac??

    The roof top solar is 154watts and yes, the wires are fairly small for this, 16ga. Far from being useful for a roof top 12v AC unit. We have been getting asked a lot lately about these units. To run that distance for the AC unit would necessitate a 6ga wire pair. Perhaps 8ga if the route is done...

    Camp-Inn 550 owner in a great video

    Camp-Inn really has some pretty amazing customers. We have always said we just don't have uninteresting customers. This Camp-Inn owner (Perry) from right here in WI is on an amazing cross country bike ride right now using his Camp-Inn 550 for support. Along his route he met this off road blogger...

    Anyone Lucky enough to find other "camp inn" stuff

    That bag company right there is why our website address is not Camp.Inn.com because that was their website address. I believe the bag manufacturer is now defunct though so nice find there Kevin. P.S. I think it was Craig that called you back, I was doing a new customer orientation all day. Cary

    Reasons to NOT Postpone Bearing Maintenance

    That is perfect. It can be less than that and even a little more than that. What you don't want is for it to be several times that which would indicate service is due. If both sides are too loose likely just time for bearing service. If one side is normal and the other side is notably more that...
