I really enjoyed the clip. I often wonder if my 14 year old golden will make another trip. She's probably wondering the same thing about me. George

Jim, We've been using that SUV tent for 6 years now. We liked it so much that we bought a second one for when the first one wears out. I see that you are west on the PA turnpike. We are in Carlisle. If you get this way, give me a call (717-501-5142) and I'll show you how to use your...

Hi Anne-Marie, If you look on page 8, towards the bottom, of "Lots of Opinions on Canopies" you will see my Napier SUV tent at -2 below zero. It works great in the summer as well with all the screens. I liked it so much that I bought another used one for the time that this one wears out...

Hey everyone, Its been a long time. I purchased 2 of these blankets in 2012 when we purchased the teardrop. We don't use them much on the bed, and we do mostly fall & winter camping, it gets to warm for us. I have left it on all night when I was camping alone and don't recall any super...

Hey Mattster, I hope everyone has a sense of humor. Don't look now; I think you just invented the SUV tent! :) Aren't you afraid that “it overheats the galley hatch”? :) Or worse yet, “could this also create an asphyxiation hazard”? :)“It really is a fairly small space inside one of these”...

Yes Smoke, Yes Stove, Yes Floor and Yes cozy. That night it was 1*F outside, 44*F in the cabin and 76*F at table height in the tent. It had to be 85 at head level! George

Jenn, Here is a YouTube from the manufacturer that really shows the interior. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5wy-uHBtx8 George

Here's a follow up on the SUV tent. Excellent!! I can go 12 months now. No hatch "over heating" or "asphyxiation". With a little modification, you can use the side table.

76 inside and 1 outside

Frank, Have you considered putting a small wood stove in your tent? I did this fall and am enjoying a cozy tent in the snow. If you are interested, there is a guy in Colorado (Bear Paw Tents) that will sell you the chimney jack and he has a great YouTube on how to install it. It's real...

Frank, I think you will find your solution to the propane problem here. (http://www.wardburner.com/tankfreeze.html). The whiskey sounds good too. George

Frank, How cold are you camping in? It is true that propane will not turn to gas at extreme temperatures but I found that to be -30f and colder. We would put an old army blanket over the top of the tank. On real cold days, a 40w light bulb next to the regulator. One time when we didn't...

Frank, And of course, you are familiar with the propane powered version of your blender? The one I observed was for only one flavor at a time. Very noisy but doesn't need electric. George

Mike, Welcome back to the states. Here's a linkhttp://www.amazon.com/Fox-Run-5068-Heat-Diffuser/dp/B001ET5ZPQ. The removable handle is nice since mine burnt off. You don't need a handle anyway. You leave them in place until done cooking. If you don't like this one, Google "pot...

Hey Frank, My TV and I are the same age and are getting a little loose and soft in the rear suspension so I put a set of air bags on the back of my rig last year and they work great. I can pump them up to 100#'s. Nice for when I have to get underneath. You don't want to run down the...
