You're gonna be soooooo satisfied!

I just have this character trait (flaw?) Anything that is The Popular Thing ... I just can't. But, yeah, they are good quality -- though I won't forgive the stupid microwave!

Alway nice to see another Camp-Inn heading west! I'm sick of seeing a sea of NuCamps in every state park! :p

I sit here at 63 years old, with a 2022 Subaru OBW with just over 100K on it. (Generally awful mpg with that turbo in the city, by the way.) I figure to drive it to its death, so look ahead to that (maybe) "last car I buy" at retirement. I figure EVs will have more sorted themselves out on all...

Sans the raindrop, but just arrived in Destin Florida, just to be greeted by Tropical Storm Bertha. Not much of a storm, but enough to close off water access today (double red flags). Hopefully mostly passed to the west by tomorrow. (Good day to see "The Odyssey")

Kilometer 31 has been a longstanding "handle" since before the AOL days. It's a pretty obscure military history reference. The Internet has made it a tiny bit easier of a code to crack. But generally, I don't tell. :) (But it is NOT related to the Mexican horror movie of the same name!)

The beautiful thing about a teardrop that's hard to explain to any small RVer: It's never cramped inside because you lay down to sleep or sit. Sure, a small RV (or camper van) has a dinette and kitchen an mini closet or whatever. But now you're talking about two adults needing to navigate around...

What area? My daughter is in Santa Cruz and could pick it up for me. (I'm in Texas.)

It does have two accessory sidewalls that should work well. Haven't tried over more of camper but it could go back a bit more.

Finally got around to sizing up my Big Agnes Sage Deluxe to my 560. Good fit and lots of coverage. (Has additional add-on side flaps for low sun or rain.

Good point on cold weather. As current (non 2021 OG thread models) goes, new Subaru (*cough* Toyota) Trailseeker is pretty good contender. Especially for us down South.

Good! We nee more Texas Camp-Inn owners. (I'm in Houston but actually bought mine used from a guy in Flower Mound up in Dallas area.) And, yes, AC is an extra special requirement in this state!

Gawd, Texas and California are big states! Just back from a solo and somewhat rushed outing from Houston to California to see my only grandson (who probably inherits the 560 Ultra some day if he behaves himself). Friggin' 4,000 miles round trip in just over a week. Only scenic stopover was a...

That's interesting and haven't seen much. One advantage: The roof on the teardrop is generally lower than the roof on car or SUV.
