Most of us here lined up with a deposit for our CampInn trailers. We didn't HV or pass-out, but the build wait was agonizingly long. But it too shall pass. Over 11 years since my deposit and 10 years, 9 months since taking delivery, I have no regrets whatsoever. I have travelled with mine to...

Most LiFePO4 batteries can be monitored from a phone APP. In addition to percent charged, storage voltage, change in each cell bank, and balance on the APP, there is the ability to turn off the discharge mode and charging mode from your phone. During winter storage or any time the trailer is not...

Prospector correspond to three of my life chapters: 1. I was a chemical engineer in the petroleum refining industry that required finding solutions to process improvements and trouble shooting problems. The answers required prospecting operating data and published literature. 2. I...

At one time the 747's featured an upper lounge deck. If you keep the forward portion of the 560 in bunkbed mode, does that mean the top bunk is the lounge deck?

I know you said no National Parks, but Natural Bridges National Monument (NM) is different. This is a dark skies area (Milky Way looks like a broad belt on a clear night, which is most nights). This NM is located in one of this least populated areas in the lower 48 along UT 95 between Hanksville...

I'm thinking of running up to Moab for Easter Jeep Safari (28 Mar - 5 Apr). It's earlier this year than last (due to the date of Easter) so it may be a bit colder. Moab is only 500 miles away from my home in the Phoenix area. There are several scenic different routes to travel between the two...

I use a Curt Echo brake controller. When plugged into the vehicle 7 pin and trailer 7 pin, it works flawlessly. In June I visited the Mother Ship. Cary, Craig, and Company installed a Lithium powered 12 volt system (Epoch Lithium battery) in my 2015 CampInn 560 and performed several other...

Welcome from Arizona. This time of year I'm envious of those that can easily escape the heat.

My CampInn 560 is 10 years old, # 752 built in 2015. I wanted to upgrade to LiFePO4 system for sometime. I live in the Phoenix area, but had a Family Reunion trip this year at the Black Hills. So, my trip was expanded to include a visit to the Mother Ship in Necedah. To me it was very much worth...

Thanks for the history of the early development of the 560, Betsey. Gosh has it been since 19 April that I signed on?

Nice workmanship. Thanks for sharing.

Photos below show showed position of table extension and camping hardware used. The table extension is attached to the trailer frame, behind and under the propane tank (left photo). There are two clamps (right photo shows the detail of one), stamped GH-201-B (you can find on Amazon...

I cannot advise on how to install the roof rack, because I drove to Necedah to have mine installed by the experts. One thing I did realize after the fact, is the Yakima crossbar length does make a difference. Originally I ordered 60" JetStream crossbars. These fit the towers (right on), with...

I forgot to mention you must drill holes into the frame. And yes the Trailer Valet does fit. Somewhere I'm sure there is a photo of it in the up position, but can't locate it just now. I've had the Trailer Valet since 2016 and over 30,000 miles. Also, you can see where and how I mount the table...

I replaced the original front wheel jack that came with the CI with a Trailer Valet, MV Series 5x. It was early days for the Trailer Valet and they didn't have as many products / options as now. The manual of my model is attached and you can use email address trailervalet.com to see further...
