    Moving Photos From Cameras to iPads

    Evan showed us a camera SD card with a built in WiFi that transferred his photos automatically from his camera to his iPad. Well I finally got an iPad and wanted to look at all the options and found another one that may be worth considering. It is called the iPad Camera Connection Kit and it...

    Earthquake

    I had replied to this earlier, or at least thought I had. If it shows up twice I apologize. So far too theories have been presented to explain the quake: One was that is was the result of a known fault line called "Bush's Fault", the other is that it is merely the result of the entire...

    GPS MAGIC

    We are slowly wending and winding our way from Carlsbad, Ca. to Necedah, Wi. to pick up our new 560. I say "slowly" for two reasons, we are visiting family on the way but primarily because our new love won't be ready until the end of August. Because we are not in a hurry (we wish we were of...

    Update Finally We See Actual Progress

    Linda, Betsey, The funny thing about outfitting out new trailer is that we have been tent camping for years and have enough equipment to outfit a small scout troop. We even had the 10X10 canopy since we camp in the desert a lot. So you would think that all we had to do was leave the tent and...

    Update Finally We See Actual Progress

    Thanks for the information Betsey, hope to meet you soon. How anyone can go to Necedah to pick up their new trailer in anything less than a pickup truck is beyond me. There is a small mountain of equipment in our garage waiting to be loaded for the trip with more to come. Chairs, tables...

    Update Finally We See Actual Progress

    Jenn, No, we have not received an "official" pickup date as of yet, Cary had told us late August/early September which works out perfectly for us. Kathy says that her and Bob's 550 is #454. It looks to me like the four trailers I can see in the photo are all at the same stage of...

    Update Finally We See Actual Progress

    Progress is still being made in Necedah. Here is one of the pictures posted last night (Sunday, 8/7) of our new 560 Ultra in "the nest". Since it is the only 560 it is the one on the left and her name is Nepenthe. It is #460 so I would think the other three are #'s 457 through 459. Are these...

    Magazines

    What trailer (ideally Teardrops) related magazines do the members of this forum read regularly? So many are "devoted" to motorhomes and large trailers, are there any that deal primarily with "tiny trailers" and teardrops in particular? I searched the archives but didn't find anything nor did...

    Alaska Extra Long Haul

    We plan on taking much the same trip next year (2012) but stretching it out a little further, maybe as much a 10 weeks. We will enter Canada from Montana, travel up the Fraser River valley (Banff, Lake Louise etc.) to Dawsen Creek and the AlCan highway and head towards Fairbanks. We will...

    Need your suggestions for a trip please

    Linda, We have always enjoyed Northern New Mexico and Colorado. We love going to the various Pueblos and seeing what the local artists have done, especially their pottery, baskets and weaving. We always stop at each Pueblo's main headquarters, often a small house converted to an office, and...

    A Warning...

    Hilditch, Since seeing Evan's photo of the oxidation issues he has, and the rough estimate of a couple of hundred hours needed to buff it back down to base metal, I have been thinking exactly along the lines you are recommending. We pick our 560 up in late August and I was thinking of taking...

    Update Finally We See Actual Progress

    Thanks to all, waiting is hard but there is a very long list of "To Do" items to fill in the time. Our truck came with the tow package but still need to get the electric brakes wired up to the connector as well as the "7th" contact to ensure the trailer battery charges when the truck is...

    Update Finally We See Actual Progress

    Eileen, It says on the website you sent that this was the "1st Annual.." I would have sworn there teardrop rallies/gatherings at Lake Perris for years. Jim

    Update Finally We See Actual Progress

    I have wanted to go to the rally at Lake Perris for some time but one thing or another always intruded. Now of course our focus is centered almost entirely upon our trailer and this coming March we will be there. Do the C-I's "bunch up"? Thank you, Jim

    Update Finally We See Actual Progress

    Got an email from Craig on Sunday night with a link to photos of our new 560 Ultra being moved into the shop and the actual build being started. Our build number is #460 so that others can gauge from this where their trailers are in the queue. Cary says "for sure" the first week of September...

    Former lurker...

    Welcome to the forum and the world of Camp-Inn trailers. It seems a great many of us followed the much same path to these beautiful trailers starting with hiking and back packing then car/truck tent camping and finally the realization that there has to be an easier way while still retaining the...

    Gonna do the Woody Wax thing

    Evan, We are all so sorry to see what you and others are faced with. Perhaps you can rationalize the coming effort as "Joining A Gym" only cheaper. Not trying to trivialize it, this whole thread made me shudder. We are not picking up our 560 until the end of August, does anyone know how to...

    Wireless photo transfer from camera

    Evan, As I'm sure you know, erasing the storage disc upon transfer is a menu selection in either your camera or your computer. Might it have been selected previously? Also, I have "erase all" come up as a selection when deleting a photo on my Canon and have to be sure to select that single...
