What I never understood is how can the wood underneath the trailer breathe when it is coated with a marine varnish? Isn't this still a sealer that prevents the wood from breathing??

I experienced in person a 560 last week-end and took pictures of the owners personally mounted solar panel. Thought it may be of interest to the forum. The pictures are posted in the Photo Gallery. If I can answer any questions to what I experienced, let me know.

I discovered a unique but pricey portable shower from a 560 owner. Placed pictures of the "Rain Man" in the Photo Gallery if anyone is interested.

These are pictures of a personalized portable shower that is sold in Australia. Quite clever but pricey - this is a link to their site: http://www.2daloo.com/camp_shower.htm The owner of this Rain Man secures it to his inside galley of his 560 by attaching it to his table (see pictures). It is a...

I was given the opportunity to see my first 560 up close - WOW! I know now that I will soon be a "Raindropper". The owner had installed a solar panel, and with his permission I took pictures for the forum to scrutinize. Solar Panel Example

Evan, Your plate idea is great. I'll remember this creation for next year.

Evan, Have you seen any antenna examples for a AM/FM radio accessory?

Unbelievable - top notch. I hope one day to be able to hear your audio system. I hope Craig considered his man hours as a labor of love. A much simpler audio system would be a car stereo player (built in amp/CD player/iPod jack) with two interior speakers (A) and two galley speakers (B) and...

Evan, you are truly a heavy duty, four season teardrop camper - 20 -30 nights winter camping...WOW! For this kind of camping, a furnace IS a necessity.

Hey Evan, How about a poll for the furnace. I would be interested in knowing how many owners rely on their furnace or is the interior warm enough that the furnace isn't used as much (non winter campers of course) as one may think .

Is there an entertainment center option that pleases the minimalist. One that has no 15in TV with DVD/CD player, but one that has simply an iPod charging station? It seems that iPods or similar portable flash drive devices are the future of audio listening. So why not an iPod charging connection...

To Evan, George, Cary, Jean, Barry&Annie, Bruce, Eileen, Betsey, and all who took the effort to answer my questions and welcome me to the Camp Inn family, a sincere "thank you". I am looking forward to a solar panel education from Evan and others who done their homework.

Jean, Thanks for your reply - love your humor! Talking about heaters, any portable heaters that you recommend?

Thanks Bruce, I need to install a receiver hitch on our Forester. We will take it to a Subaru dealer. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

I am about 30 days away from ordering a new CI. Had a conversation with Cary about ordering for a 2011 spring pick-up. I have spent the last 3 days with my face in my computer reading as much as I can - Camp Inn models and forums. Want to thank Evan for his efforts - makes me anxious to become...
