I too tow with a 2010 Subaru 2.5 with CVT. I believe the 2010 already has a separate tranny cooler - look. Maybe the engineers were a little concerned with the new-to-Subaru CVT? In 2011 or 2012 they replaced it with common fluid/water heat exchanger in the radiator. Claim it gets the...

Diane, I have a CI side tent that I use for dressing and setup a Cleanwaste / PETT folding potty in it when I camp with my son (he has IBS). The CI side tent is big enough for dressing and sponge/baby-wipe baths. The Cleanwaste privacy tent I saw looked small to me, even for dressing...

Hi Dianne, I don't have a specific Alaska plan yet, I just need to do it before my niece goes to college. I have not been there in the summer, but I took my sister's kids trick-or-treating in Anchorage (BRRRR), and spent a month there in January. I flew in&out both times. Trivia...

Kathy, I spent a few days in UP Michigan before last year's CICO. What a beautiful place! I spent about 60% of my UP driving time with 0 bars on the cell phone. Less settled like Cape Cod used to be. Hope you and Bob enjoy it. I suspect the UP is home grounds for Sheila and Jeff from...

Re: Borrowing the Trailer: Hello From Upstate N.Y. Lee, Yes I got the Renogy 100W monocrystalline folding "suitcase" panel RNG-F-2X50D for about $244. It comes with a nice semi-hard case with zippers. It has high efficiency German solar cells (Bosch? +++), a 25yr warranty, capable of...

Re: Borrowing the Trailer: Hello From Upstate N.Y. AlCat, I understand the possesive/private feeling, especially if one is a full timer or even just months in it (snowbird). If my wife of 35 years was still alive I might have felt more of that. Since she passed, I wouldn't say I am...

Re: Borrowing the Trailer: Hello From Upstate N.Y. AlCat, I actually did loan my 15 month old trailer. GASP I loaned it to my oldest daughter along with my car to drive (for the better hitch and 7 pin cable plug). The funny thing is that it was not for family occupancy!!! They are a...

"We're All Bozo's On This Bus" :D Another favorite was the phrase "Read Me Doctor Memory". I vaguely recall a Nixon voice...? I was interested in computers and electronics since junior high so it was extra funny. Graduated HS the summer of Woodstock. Ghost, I see you are in Kansas...

Diane, Congratulations ! :D Welcome to the Camp-Inn family. It IS official and real. As I mentioned I had my first giggles since my wife died when Craig emailed me the link to the first build photos. That is the next milestone although I suspect Christmas will have a theme like mine...

Hi Jim, I didn't realize when I talked to you at CICO that you were on the return leg from a North West trip. And I thought I was doing well fitting in a 10 day week for CICO with 3 days in U.P. Michigan after a spring two week pickup trip via KC (non camping @Mom's), Memphis, Florida, and...

Hi Diane and Michael, Hope the two of you enjoyed seeing a 560 in person. I enjoyed your visit and showing it off. :cool: The Camp-Inn option we talked about for easier long term use of the couch can be seen at http://tinycamper.com/options6.htm . For the Cleanwaste/PETT toilet &...

Hi Diane, It is Mark from Pepperell MA. Oz (560) and I are looking forward to seeing you both. Can you guess from my signature below where I grew up? Sarah is right. Check out the Adventures & Excursions section for the "Dew Drop Inn Chronicles" Michaelo takes great pictures! They...

Joan, I suspect the sofa difference is height. From the CICO I recall you are shorter than my 6'4". I still recalled the night I left it out. I rolled over, my head left the pillow and I got a crease in my forehead. When I saw Pat's comment "it makes a really tight fit for the mattress"...

The KA means "keyed alike" for most locks which is useful if you are getting two (even padlocks). I have a keyed alike pair (TCL265) of another type wheel lock TCL65. 1) :) Most KA pairs are cheaper than two randoms, 2) :grin: but it is also nicer to have just one key on the ring. 3)...

Congratulations Pat! I remember THAT Subway! :D A hot cheesy sub tasted great for MY first dinner after a late wrapup due to 2013 March snow on the roads. Thanks Cary, Craig and Camp-Inn crew !!! The sofa is much nicer in the reclining position when you are up, but moving it to the...

Also not to be confused with Mongo in Blazing Saddles. I loved the Daniel Boone show. At least Ed wasn't a blond guy under makeup. I did notice and appreciate when Hollywood got an actor or actress that had Indian ancestry to play one of the roles in a movie though. My dad had the...

I enjoyed it for a March trip where I was moving each day. I could have started a fire in the ring, I suppose, but it didn't seem worth the effort since I got back a bit late and it was 32F. It also saved a day of camping on a local 3 day weekend. Saturday at noon a one hour shower became...

Sherry, A bit of trivia: The pink plastic flamingo originated in 1957 in the small city of Leominster Massachusetts about 25 minutes from my home. Since 2007 they are made in the adjacent Fitchburg MA. Leominster has a "Plastics Capital of the World" sign at the city limit on the highway...

Re: Locks for trailer hitch - Trimax wheel locks Just a quick note during hibernation / gear-buying season. If you are thinking of getting two TRIMAX™ TCL65 as some suggest (especially for outdoor storage with a cover) consider looking for TCL265. That is a "keyed alike" pair of 65s ...

Wow it is amazing how little info it takes to make your brain see something !!! In first glance I saw the trailer aluminum and the Subaru Outback alloy wheels and distinctive roof racks. I call them 'fat racks' which is obvious if viewed from the front or rear. Those two combined with the...
