    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.

    Car Wash?

    Re: Car Wash? NO Aluminum Cleaner setting I use the manual/wand kind like Frank said. Just the regular-soap and rinse settings AVOID any "aluminum (or chrome) cleaner" settings. Somewhere in the forum there is a horror story from Cary or Craig about trying to even out the blotchy mess...

    Beeswax on New Lodge DO

    I didn't get wax at the 2013 CICO and regretted it later. Frank, If you can spot a listing for Honey in the yellow pages their beeswax would definitely be pure. The Whole Foods Market groceries carry Beeswax which may be overpriced, but works fine for me. Looks like Whole Foods has...

    Winterizing on YouTube

    The Purple Jesus I came across in college was a water glass with Grape KOOL-AID and nearly equal amount Vodka. The Kool-Aid was the only "mix" our friend could find on hand and she liked drinks large and strong. That variety of Kool-Aid gets a strong metallic aftertaste with alcohol. As...

    Solid red and flashing green lights

    Jay, It is possible with a 2012 ci560 that your battery might be weakening, but I had another thought. Dim lights reflecting off evening dark ground are more noticeable when flashing. If you had Lights, Fan, or Dometic running or cellphone 12V charger when you saw the light (or...

    volt meter readings

    Dometic Fridge was Re: volt meter readings The Dometic CF-35 has a selectable Low Battery cutoff with 3 choices. The manual describes this "Battery Mode". It is the other SETting along with with the 'desired' temperature. Press the Set button multiple times until the display shows HI, Med...
