    David and Becky's first 26,000 miles

    I was having no luck figuring out how to add pictures so after getting frustrated I will just write it out. Becky and I bought our 560 #541 in Oct. 2012. As of Feb. 22, 2015 we have towed it over 26,000 miles with our 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and been to not less than 36 National Parks and...

    Solar

    Some place on here is a great picture by picture step by step on how to wire in the Camp Inn plug. I tried to find it. Someone else might be able to find the link for you. It is excellent. Make sure you get the polarity correct.

    Beeswax on New Lodge DO

    Lodge is the only AMERICAN MADE brand. Who knows what it in the off brand metals? Yes it is more expensive but the lids fit tight and the sides are more consistent thickness. And oh yah American jobs.

    Awning rail and 10 watt solar panel

    Sarah, I am glad you like our awnings, I think they are going to be great. Becky got a bit flustered trying to get the fit right and really does not want to sew any more. My upright poles are from a canopy that we hated and repurposed the poles as are the braces that go across the top between...

    Awning rail and 10 watt solar panel

    We got both awnings for our 560 done. I will also use guy lines when ever we put the awnings out, just did not use them for these pictures. They really look quite good and should be very functional.

    Tracking Nights, Miles, etc.

    It is a very nice item. We got one and I am now trying to start from the beginning to add something about all our trips. Man you think you will remember it all, until you start to try to remember it all. :)

    Awning rail and 10 watt solar panel

    The whole idea of it for us was just to be able to get in or out if it was raining without getting so wet. Or to leave our shoes under it if it was dewy and not have them get wet or even be able to leave the windows open further if it was raining. Becky can actually just barely stand up under...

    Awning rail and 10 watt solar panel

    Here is our first awning. It is 38" x 38" With a center fiberglass hoop rod to raise the center up. There is an aluminum cross tube between the upright poles with a hole drilled thru one wall, that is where the one end of the center hoop rod sticks into.

    Loose balls

    Wow Cary thanks for the info. GhostOrchid so glad you did not have a catastrophe. This really got me thinking about the ball on our hitch. I put the hitch in the receiver and used my 1/2" breaker bar with a pipe attached and was able to get almost another full turn on the nut.

    Per night

    Without a doubt the best purchase we have ever made. The only thing is, is all I want to do now is take trips and camp. I have neglected some things at home because I always have 1 or 2 or 3 trips in the planning stage. I am going to try and surpass your 230 nights this next year. We are...

    Awning rail and 10 watt solar panel

    I will post awning pics as soon as we have the final one done. We had one of them up all last weekend but need to put a hoop in the center to raise it up. They will be real nice in the rain or just keeping the dew off our shoes.

    The panel and awning rail is actually taped on using 3M VHB tape. It is an industrial double sided tape. The screw heads, I actually cut off all the shank except about 1/8 - 3/16". The end of the shank is stuck on the tape then I put just a dab of JB weld around the screw flange. Non of it is...
