just stayed one night but this is probably the most unique campground we have ever stayed in. All the sites are raised platforms that you park your rig or tent on. We had a 32x22 ft platform that comfortably fit both our 28ft airstream and our F250 super duty and still could sit at the provided...

Even though Bob and I have moved on to a larger aluminum trailer, we still read the forum and thought you would enjoy this campground. Nice COE campground with nice sites on the lake. Most are on bluffs. Tent and trailer sites, 30 and 50 amp electric. Some full hookup away from lake. Some...

This is a wonderful state park just west of Bloomington, IL. It is on a lake that has a motor limit so you can kayak without worrying about being swamped. Fishing is supposed to be good too. Hiking trails. Paved areas for bike riding. Best sites are along the lake as you will get nice breeze...

Built December 2014, picked up March 2015. Garage kept. Enjoyed but must sell. Mahagony upgrade. Many features. Will include extras we bought for it. Will post full details in next post. Gina

While we were out west, we stopped at Jewel cave and saw a 550! I think it may have been number 60 as it had 0060 on the top of the trailer. The owner may be Les as this name was also on the trailer. We were sorry that we couldn't wait to meet the owner. It was looking great and had the...

I know all you experienced travelers out there can help me... Bob and I are taking our first extended trip in our 560 to Colorado, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Mt Rushmore. We would like your advice of campgrounds to stay in. We are not extreme hikers but enjoy a good walk. Want to see Old...

I noticed some have these badges for the 2013 gathering. Any way to get one for the 2014 gathering?

Anyone seen the preview trailers for the new Mike Holmes home improvement show? Forgot the name. It it looks like someone is living in a tear drop trailer and may be a CI! Just noticed it tonight. New show will be on FOX network. Has anyone else noticed? Would be a great advertisement for...

I was wondering if anyone can help me? I have seen a modification that others use for when the table leg is too short for the site you are camping. I believe it is a piece of pvc pipe. Can anyone tell me about this? How long a pipe, is it adjustable, what diameter, etc? I looked thru previous...

After seeing the new trays for the storage bins, I was wondering if the storage utensil drawer on the left side of the galley could have movable dividers too? Some of the larger knives don't fit well in it. Could I have a new drawer made and replace the one I have? How about it Cary...

Anyone ever been to the tulip festival in holland Michigan? Scheduled for first week in May this year. Would like to know where to camp, what to see, how the crowds are Thanks Gina

So, now that my galley is fairly organized, Bob and I are trying to decide what to put in the bins under the mattress. One contains the spare tire. We have 3 others with the 560. Our front storage are is limited due to the furnace. Where do you put the hoses, connectors, lock blocks, etc? I...

So we decided to try and setup the side tent. Doesn't seem to fit right. Maybe someone can help us with your wisdom? We have the 560 SUV version. The tent seems to be off the ground at the edge by the trailer. Followed all the directions. Is this normal for the SUV height? We did make the...

Our 560 is home at last. Went and picked it up this weekend. Good weather, just bone chillingg cold, until the last 60 miles home. Snow. Will spend some of today washing the snow and salt spray off so we don't get any pitting. Fits nicely in the garage. Now I get to deck out the interior and...

Anyone carry a Britta filter/pitcher for your drinking water when you are out camping? Any suggestions regarding the quality of the water at various camp grounds? Do you recommend we bring our own? We are big water drinkers and we don't want to keep transporting bottles of water every time we...

Just got the first pictures of our 560 in the build process! We are so excited. Just like finding our you're going to have a baby or grand baby in our case. Now the plans for our first, second, third, etc trips seem more urgent and real. So happy to be a part of this tear drop family! Gina

Hello Any idea when the group photo will be posted or available? Gina

Hi everyone This will be our first CICO and we were wondering what everyone cooks for the pot luck? We borrowed my sister in laws Dutch oven. Is there a community cooking spot? Do you cook it at your own site and then bring to dinner? Do you have to cook in a Dutch oven? How many servings...

Hi all, I was reading previous posts on gear and saw a gear bag that would lay flat and came in several sizes recommended by another forum reader. Wanted to show my husband and now can't find the post and can't remember the name of the bag. Think it was when someone mentioned how that stored...

I am asking all you kayakers and canoers for your opinion on entry level boat for myself and husband. We are avid bass fishermen and usually pull a boat behind our TV. Now that we are getting the CI, we still want to have a boat without taking two vehicles. We were thinking sit on top kayaks...
