I’ve been on most trails other than a couple of the worst (Black Gap, Glenn Springs Road and a couple of others). The Outback with good tires CAN do any of them but I don’t wanna tear it up to prove it. Important to check current conditions because after rains trail conditions can change a...

2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness. Big Bend is my happy place. I grew up in El Paso so harsh desert mountains is my jam.

Excited for my first proper extended trip in the 560 Ultra. Houston to Big Bend for about 10 days. Probably 1400 miles when complete. Split campsites between full primitive (my preference) and the developed Chisos Basin Campground (water and showers but no electric). It'll be a hotty during the...

I’m camping with you!

Looking forward to your road reports or recap. Live in Houston and New Mexico is very much on our list!

So awesome! I'm itching to get out now!

I'm eyeballing this one from Gazelle. A little more of that hub/popout convenience in setup. Tandem Gazebo

It's a nice way to stay in Austin for whatever non-camping reasons and avoid hotel bills. I hear it really fills up on weekends.

This was a short (four nights) but locationally interesting work trip/commute. Had to spend four days in Austin for a training visit for our company. But wanted to use the Raindriop. Turns out McKinney Falls State Park is basically in the Austin city limits near the airport on the east side...

Haven't used either, but have never heard a bad word on Autowbrake. (And if Camp-Inn is offering it, you can be sure they vetted it.)

Very cool! Welcome to the fun!

Yeah, I saw you in the thread as a fresh-faced prospective buyer! Nice to know all these years later the decision remains a sound one.

Maybe a better way of doing this, forum-wise, but came across this older-than-dirt 2011 post and thread -- and even for today's new buyers or prospective buyers, I've not read a better argument for Why You Should Feel Great About Choosing Camp-Inn. By way of small comparison: I seriously...

Vaguely related: I was interested to see the debut of the Forester Hybrid, which looks great. I was disappointed it had a 1,500-pound towing limit. (Generally common in hybrids.) Of current hybrids, I noted the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is one of the few with a proper 3,500-pound towing limit...

I mounted mine to the hatch, to the right side. Clears fine — but I have to take care not to buy the common (now) fat rolls of paper towels. Average size fits fine

I got this one recently on Amazon and works great. Ratchety so it doesn't unroll. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0024AKCTS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

No. 786!

Yes, recently acquired a used 560 Ultra. Love it. Not questioning the quality of the camper.

@Sweeney Used to be we could count on what kind of hot summer we'd have here in Texas. I grew up in hot / dry El Paso and now live in hot / humid Houston. But now it's a tossup of how bad it will be. Summer before last was brutal with no rain and a bajillion days over 100 degrees. Last summer...

Iwatani is Japanese company (though I learned they have a headquarters right here in Houston) and they are kinda the gold standard among indoor chefs. But they work well outdoors too (probably need a wind guard). They launched an outdoor line called Fore Winds. Not bad, but the burners aren't...
