    Subaru In The Mountains...

    I tow with a Subaru Outback 2.5i with CVT. The owner's manual says to change the CVT fluid regularly if you use the vehicle to tow. Does anyone have opinions about whether this is a good thing to do?

    Ice Blocks for Cooler

    I've filled a waterbrick and froze it in my chest freezer and it fits perfectly in the Coleman cooler by laying it flat across the bottom leaving just enough space on the sides for the quart size milks or other tall thin items (olive or pickle jars) that might otherwise spill. Lots of space...

    Blind Spot When Changing Lanes

    One of my biggest concerns about towing a camper is changing lanes and not seeing a car behind me approaching in the lane I'm moving into. Not having the center rear view mirror to keep track of what is behind me has me a bit spooked. Has this been a problem for anyone? Are there devices...

    Double Sleeping Bag?

    We use a queen size travasak, which is essentially two large sleeping bags velcroed together with a velcroed sheet liner on the inside of the bag. The liner can easily be removed for washing. It seems like this could easily be made with sheets and sleeping bags of choice. Using summer and...

    Couch / Bunk Beds Bunk Bed For An Adult?

    Oops! I meant to ask when adults are using the queen size bed in a 560 and the sofa area is converted to bunks, is it comfortable for the adults using the queen bed to be in a sitting position in bed, leaning back against the bunks the same way that they would lean back on a headboard or the...

    Couch / Bunk Beds Bunk Bed For An Adult?

    When the upper bunk is up and being used for storage, is it comfortable to lean back on the edge of the bunk to read or watch a movie while in bed?

    Couch / Bunk Beds Bunk Bed For An Adult?

    Nope, the bunks are too short for almost all adults. The bunk length is only 56 inches -- a 5 ft tall person is 60 inches. The width is 22 inches. You can measure that out on your floor to get an idea of how you or your dog might fit on a bunk. The idea of using only 1/2 of the Queen bed is...

    New 550 Homebased In San Diego

    That is great fuel economy! Does anyone else get anything close to that with their TV? It would be cool to create a table listing tow vehicles and fuel economy with and without the TD and with and without rock tamers or other similar mudflaps. We go from low 30s to low 20s with our 2010 4...

    Hello From St. Louis!

    How about painting an interesting design on the damaged part? Some cool stripes or petroglyphs might be nice. Or perhaps a Navajo design.

    550 / 560 Big Dude -> Little Trailer

    I would go with the 560. My husband is 6' 3" also and we have found the extra room very useful and I'm certain that he would feel cramped in a 550. Be sure to get the SUV version of the 560. That raises everything up 3 additional inches and reduces the chances of bumping your head on the...

    Lost Nut on Leveling Jack

    We just noticed our leveling jack nut is missing. Wondering if we all should have replacement nuts on hand or perhaps the leveling jack nuts should be more securely attached in the first place?

    Mudflaps Mudflap Accessory

    These look nice. Less expensive and smaller than the Rock Tamers we have. Our Rock Tamers are heavy,bulky,and make it awkward to access our rear cargo. They also reduce our fuel economy. Would mudflaps such as the Aries Universal Mud Flaps that install behind the rear tires...

    Best tow vehicle?

    Our 2010 4 cylinder Subaru Outback has CVT and it's been great for us. Provides even better fuel economy than a manual transmission.

    Best tow vehicle?

    We have a 2010 Subaru Outback (4 cylinder)that can get 30mpg on the highway when not towing, but it only gets about 19-20mpg when hauling our 560. Is this about what others get towing their trailers? Can we do anything to improve the fuel economy? Sharon
