    Update Our Build Has Begun!

    "hope ... know they are in the business of making dreams come true" I am pretty sure they do. In fact, the whole thing started with a dream about a Route-66 vacation: http://tinycamper.com/campinn.htm and Craig and Betsey's First 100 Nights

    Power Cord

    A cord with lighted end is kinda nice to know the other end is plugged in to a live outlet. And besides it makes a nice low night light to avoid obstacles when getting a late night snack. It also works when you don't need the porch light, just a bit of light for the walk to the Camp-Inn's...

    Update We Have Our Teardrop!

    By the way if you get near San Antonio besides the Alamo, be sure to visit the Riverwalk and the big Market/Mercado. They have nice inexpensive Serapi's that make a colorful durable spread for warmer months. I even use mine for sitting on the ground. Every time I use it, I can see the crowds...

    Update We Have Our Teardrop!

    Hi again Diane and Michael, From when we met I bet you thought it would never get to the day. I hope you have a great journey. Oz says "follow the yellow brick road" and also those back roads that don't have the yellow stripes and even better if they just have gravel. Hope to see you...

    Update Just Got The Word -- Our Trailer Is Being Built!

    Congratulations Diane! Hi Diane and Michael, My sister in law makes my fingers automatically try to put another 'n' in there haha. Well the months HAVE flown by since we met! Diane if you are still planning to retire "by the end of February" this should be your last work day...

    Galley Back Wall Protection

    Thanks for the sentiment Old Pro, but the liquid softeners are fine if we want one. The low hardness of New England water makes it less needed. I think Siracha (sp) sauce or one of the other similar extra hots is a good commercial weak capsaicin HaHa. I will have to see what the literature...

    Galley Back Wall Protection

    I have one problem with using Bounce dryer sheets to repel Bears. The Bounce vapors gives me a terrible headache, especially when heated. I even used to get a headache occasionally through a weatherstripped solid core apartment door when a neighbor used them in the laundry room across the...

    Galley Bin Storage boxes

    I like the sturdiness and more integrated look of the wooden boxes. I think that Sherry's boxes are beautiful and would thank a sibling for such gift, but the sides in her pictures seem a bit thick which makes the boxes heavier than ideal. (pro for plastic) Many bedroom drawer side & back...

    Windproof Garbage Bag Holder

    Nice! I think I will use the side cooler table though since I actually sit at the main table. I do find recyled grocery bags to be a nice size for one day's trash. Dumpster each night to foil coons & skunks.

    $500 breakaway cable

    Frank, > Pat, not seeing the "Springy break away cable" If you take out "Springy" the search at eTrailer includes this Roadmaster coiled breakaway cable. I actually prefer the Fastway 4' coiled breakaway cable since the split keyring fits the hole in the breakaway switch...

    Update My Trailer Is Delivered!

    Neat set of pictures! The cute one with both of you in the door made me think of another obvious teardrop name: Cosy From the list of standard Lookie Lou's questions/statements "Wow that must be cosy" #1 of course is "Do/Can you SLEEP in that?" #2 "Does it Pop Up?" Hate to explain to...

    Update Just Got The Word -- Our Trailer Is Being Built!

    Hi Diane and Michael! I am glad you have reached the point where Craig sent you the first pictures. I remember my reaction to my pictures was the first case of giggles since my wife passed away. I made a forum post about the legal "mood altering" experience. I realized my inner...

    Any body camp in Missouri or Arkansas

    I know it is not the Ozarks like the original old thread, but it is in the edge of Arkansas. If you will be in eastern Arkansas, you can stop in West Memphis across the Mississippi from Mamphis Tennessee at the Tom Sawyer RV Park. It is a neat place and I would recommend if you are in the...

    Fantastic Fan Rain Sensing Fantastic Fan

    To me the biggest seller of the rain sensor is not so much at night. I can in theory close the fan assuming I hear the rain (or get damp and wake up). :blush: The biggie is the scorching day when we decide to go see some local sight so we leave the fan on. But our point of interest is...

    Amco 8344 Ss Paper Towel Holder

    Forum post with a picture of Amco 8344 I think they were sold by Kmart 5 or 10 years ago.
