    Favorite Pricey Not-from-ci-accessory

    The Victron DC to DC charger via the Victron Bluetooth app. Could be unique to the requirements of the Goal Zero, not sure.

    Victron 12-24-15 DC to DC charger For the Goal Zero I had to put it in “Power Supply” mode instead of “Charger” mode and program it to send 20~30 volts.

    Favorite Pricey Not-from-ci-accessory

    For me it would have to be my Goal Zero Yeti Core 1000 SoGen battery and DC to DC charger with line running to the bed of my truck. I rarely camp where there are hookups and constantly worried about having enough battery to get through my stay. I dedicated the Yeti to run my Dometic Fridge...

    I Want To Visit California!

    Driving north on the Pacific Coast Highway to Monterey and beyond is certainly an iconic trip. JohnC will have some camping recommendations among the Redwoods. I particularly loved Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park campground right in the Redwoods with beautiful planked hiking trails to a waterfall...

    Denting My Rear Bumper

    That’s a good point. I actually never determined what exactly was making contact. I did replace the OEM jack with a two wheel Fulton swivel jack. The jack swivels up to be parallel with the frame when towing but the jack handle does stick out 3-4 inches. And is closest to my tow vehicle. I...

    Denting My Rear Bumper

    I have a 2014 Ram 1500 with standard hitch. Three times in the past 10 years I have dented my rear bumper when towing my CampInn by turning too sharp when backing up. Since I have just ordered a 2025 RAM, I definitely don't want to do it again with my new truck. Am I the only one that has...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Hope that your family stays safe, Redlands is still OK. They are up to 18% containment but just issued an evacuation order in Big Bear from the dam east to Wildrose Lane and south to Bluff Lake basin. For anyone in or camping in an area at risk of wildfires I can’t recommend the Watch Duty...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Not surprisingly, this abnormal heat wave resulted in two major fires in So Cal. The one in the San Bernardino mountains is threatening two of my favorite campgrounds along the 38 in the Barton Flats area and Green Valley Lake near the 18. Worse than that, it is working its way towards the...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    So much for the perfect So Cal weather that I always brag about. Temps in the 100s the last few days. Very unusual heat wave. Canceled our three day camping trip to El Capitan State Beach campground just north of Santa Barbara. Yes, we So Cal peeps are weather weenies for sure!

    Lithium Battery

    The reason I suggested a fuse is because on my 560 (#701) there is a 10 Amp inline fuse between the solar plug on the side of the trailer and the battery (very clearly shown in the wiring diagram in the manual). I have had that fuse blow before and the only symptom was the failure of the solar...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    A foil air gap is a great idea! I found it also helpful to install a thermometer in the lid. https://a.co/d/hEMqrV4 Thanks for the great for the tip! Will try it next time I bake! Randy

    Anyone ever try the Omnia oven? I’ve made Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in mine which came out pretty well. I’ll bet it would work well for biscuits.

    My sweet spot when roasting is just a few snaps into second crack. Starbucks has THE worst drip coffee. I call it “Charbucks”. Coffee Bean actually has very good, single origin light roasted drip coffee.

    I use the Behmoor 2000 roaster in my garage. A great personal use roaster for up to a pound of beans per roast. Has smoke suppression but not recommended for in the house. Joe Behmoor, the inventor, provides great CampInn level customer service. Behmor 2000AB Plus Home Coffee Roaster

    Kevin, Don’t have a jet boil so not sure. Works perfectly on the CI stove, don’t see why it wouldn’t work on an open fire. Randy

    On the subject of boiling water, I can’t recommend the STS Olicamp Pot highly enough, one of my favorite pieces of gear. Boils water twice as fast as a regular pot and the handles stay cool to the touch. Use it a lot. Pays for itself in propane savings. Randy https://a.co/d/eXTyfx2
