Randy, thanks for the info. I have a voltmeter. Came with my trailer. I'll keep the attached chart handy though. I'm sure there will be some trail and error over time.

Regarding solar use to run the Dometic, just plug the solar into the CI trailer connection and away you go? I've got 3 30 watt panels and Cary seemed think I'd be ok in keeping the battery charged sufficiently with them off the grid.

Thanks, Randy for the clarification. That is what I understood things to be.

Just bought the Dometic CF35 refrigerator/freezer and after cruising through the forum regarding usage I still am not clear on a few things. If I'm connected to shore power can I plug the Dometic into the 110 receptacle in the galley, the 12V receptacle or do I need a separate line (ext. cord)...

Great advice from all. Learned the "freezing sprayer" from last Fall I suppose. Cary just mentioned he had 3 folks with the same problem in the last few days. Unscrewing seems the prudent thing to do. I am interested in the vodka solution as with Bear I'd prefer not to go the anti-freeze...

We will be traveling through northern NM into west Texas the first part of March on our way to New Orleans and on down into Florida. We're concerned with freezing temps the first night or so before reaching more temperate climate. We won't be using the trailer at that point but was wondering...

Thanks, Leah. We secured spots at St. Andrews, Ochlockonee & Manatee Springs SP's. We essentially found last sites so got lucky I suppose. Our goal is to watch our son play lacrosse in the area but it looks like the games may be in Orlando instead of Tampa so not sure of our plans there. If...

Thanks for the reply. Grayson Beach SP (we honeymooned there years ago with no crowds) was full but we've secured spots at St. Andrews, Ochlockonee & Manatee Springs SP's. Yeah, those oysters are the best. Will check out Shell Island, sounds like fun.

Thanks, we're definitely finding that to be true.

Hi there, will be traveling the Gulf Coast between Apalachicola and Tampa mid March. Any camping spots you would recommend would be appreciated. Thanks, Sky Bear.

Looking for camping spots from Apalachicola to Tampa along the coast mid March.

Yeah, hammocks and trees usually don't mix well unless it's in your own backyard. But they are nice for camping. I have a hammock and sturdy metal stand that comes in a nice travel bag and it's not any longer than a fold up chair and not a lot more in weight than an REI Alcove shelter.

I have a 560 Ultra pulled by a Toyota Highlander 6 cyl. and have never felt the need for electric brakes although I'm sure they would be good to have if I had to slam on the brakes. I pulled a previous TD without problems as well. Oh, and I live in Colorado and I'm up and down in the mountains...

Just returned from an extended trip and need new tires. My 560 ST tires lasted around 8,000 miles and I'm told that's not bad. I'd like to do better and Cary has suggested LT tires as a possible alternative. Most treads I've read say 65mph is the max for ST tires. I drive closer to 70 and...

Thanks, Al. Didn't see your earlier message. Yeah, Hwy's 24 & 12 ideally would be the way to go. Probably mid Oct. will be a go. Weather should be ideal.

Would be interested in your camping spots in SE Utah as we plan to follow I-70 & I-15 on down to Zion.

Any suggestions for campgrounds between Moab and Flagstaff this time of year?

Not surprised to see the rip in the wind wall. We encountered an extremely windy rain storm a year or so ago in southern Colorado where the alcove was close to horizontal to the ground. Dancing around trying to take it down would have been a real thigh slapper for anyone observing the scene...

Will be new to this location but looking for recommended campgrounds in the Bayfield/Ashland area. Not sure what will still be available to reserve this time of year. We plan to stay about a week starting July 7 or 8.

That's a pretty nifty set up and put down. Wouldn't take up much space either. I do worry about securing it against wind and rain but I'm sure you looked into that.
