    Arb Awning Mounted To Raindrop

    Not sure of current model numbers, but was the 2000 mm x 2500 mm version. This equals 2 m x 2.5m or roughly 6’ wide by 8’ deep.

    Cb Radio Installation In 560

    Yes. The box mounted inside cabinet is really just a junction for power and antenna. The whole radio is actually in hand unit, which can be disconnected and put in glove box, in case of tow vehicle.

    Arb Awning Mounted To Raindrop

    We’re heading out this weekend. I will take some pictures for posting next week. One can always search YouTube videos on deluxe awning side rooms. That said, the fit against the trailer is based partly on how far back you fit the awning bracket over trailer roof. If you move brackets...

    Ipad Mount, The Simple Alternative To Tv

    For our new 560 Ultra, we decided not to go with the TV option, but instead, leverage what our 8 year old already uses when a "show" is in order. We already have an iPad - why not leverage it!? We did get the stereo option, and with Bluetooth we have complete stereo audio for our movies. RAM...

    Cb Radio Installation In 560

    I had Camp Inn install a compact Cobra 75WXST radio in our new 560 Ultra (about $120). I think they did a great job! It takes up very little room, if at all in the right hand galley cupboard. The antenna mount was a discussion, as to what would be the best "hard mount" and provide the best RF...

    Ham Radio ???

    Hi Doug, Any updates on what you did with your HAM radio? I'm a new 560 owner, and had the CI team install a small CB into the right hand galley cabinet with a nice antenna mount on the rightside. Works great to use as a camp base radio to others in the group or when one of us needs to run out...

    Arb Awning Mounted To Raindrop

    That is correct. The awning is by no means sealed to the trailer. How far back you set the brackets to overhang the trailer more is up to you. The pitch of the awning is completely adjustable as you adjust leg height. We used it several times in the rain with no issues, though I'm sure in a...

    Outside Temperature

    I just bought an $8 inside/outside temp sensor (wireless) on amazon. I zip tied the outside sensors under trailer between the fresh and grey tanks. Used sticky Velcro to mound sensor in cabin. Simple, works great. Awesome!

    Arb Awning Mounted To Raindrop

    I’m sure it really has more to do with the tow vehicle. We’re in 2008 4Runner, so aerodynamically, it will depend. For us, maybe 1 MPG with racks and Awning, maybe 0.5 mpg. Probably really depends on driving speed too. Well worth the luxury of the awning in my opinion.

    First Few Nights In #948

    I picked up #948 in June, and after 7 hours with Cary, he approved me to leave with her and start my long journey back to California to prep for our family tour in July. Here is just a few sample picture from our first few dozen nights and days with our new adventure machine! Night two, but...

    Outside Temperature

    I'm weather geek myself, and a new 560 Ultra owner. I was thinking the same thing. "Should I install an actual OAT (outside Air Temperature) gage and sending unit I previously removed my my aircraft, or do something cheep and elegant?" Cheep and wireless seems to be the easiest! Amazon.com...

    Flexible Solar Panels

    I just picked up my 560 Ultra a couple months ago and purchase a 120w folding panel(s) for $200 (Bioenno Power BSP-120 120 Watt Foldable Solar Panel for Charging Power Packs | Powerwerx) Yes, bulky, but after almost 3 weeks of camping, we got used to just putting it on a towel or moving blanket...

    Arb Awning Mounted To Raindrop

    We mounted the ARB awning to our new 2018 Raindrop (560 Ultra) using the standard ARB mounting brackets onto the Yakima Jetstream cross bars. To do so, you need to use readily available T-bolts from eTrailer.com (Replacement T-Bolt with Nut for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailers - Qty 4 Yakima...
