I consider it an investment in my well being. :) What's left out are all the details of the time spent with friends; hiking; walking down the beach holding my wife's hand; great meals; chasing racoons out of my car; stopping short of hiking Zion's Angel's Landing because you just don't have...

I've got a lot of updating to do!! (This does not include the few nights I was sick with a cold and Cat slept IN THE CAMPER instead of in any of our extra bedrooms....) Month Year Destination Nights Miles October 2011 SF RV resort Pacifica 1 40 October 2011 Big Sur Campground 2 260 January...

Interesting. We just bought one, not to use with the TD, though. Will have to think about this further.... -Al (not Cat)

You say you are "puppy naive" - does this mean you are having the dog professionally trained, or are you, the puppy-naive folks, doing the training? If your dog isn't trained, don't bring it camping. You'll end up with an expensive ticket from a park ranger and will likely piss off a bunch of...

Not one TD owner does this sort of analysis when deciding whether to buy a TD, so I'm not sure why anyone would start a thread focusing on it. Perhaps a full-timer would do that sort of analysis, but I'm guessing even they don't do this. So..... -Al

Hi, Randy. No, I just did a bit of research after Jenn asked the question. -Al

Heat Resistant: Up to 240F.

Selling a Camp-Inn cover for the 550. It has never been used. Still in the storage bag it came with. The list price from Camp-Inn is $431. I would like $250, plus actual postage. (I estimate the postage will be <$50; it weighs about 10 pounds. Thanks, Al

What is the latest on this topic? WoodyWax? Walbernizer? It depends? :) -Al

Wow, all because I said your brakes sounded a little noisy.... Glad you got the problem fixed while safe at home!! -Al

Looks like a great upgrade!! We haven't had mold/mildew/moisture problems, but I'll gladly pay money to make my sleep more comfortable (though I already sleep very well whenever we camp). -Al

I'm confused - do Lorie and Keith have a Froli topper or did they install a complete Froli system (mattress)? I sleep great in our TD, but I'm always looking for more comfort. Thanks, Al

Got a site!! Camping at New Brighton (Santa Cruz, CA) together in early December!! (Yes, too long to wait - might need to find a site sooner)

Very excited. Two of our closest camping buddies just bought a Raindrop!! We will be a two CampInn crowd the next time we go camping!! So if you see a Teardrop and a Raindrop in the same campground, that'll be us: come say HI!! Now we REALLY have to find a campsite soon!! -Al

1/4 CUP? (must be. Can't be 1/4 teaspoon or tablespoon. Or is it 1/4 of the gallon? Unlikely. A quart of salt/gallon?....)

am curious how much salt you use (my understanding is, you have to use a LOT)

I believe you only need to remove one handle on the Dometic for it to fit in the galley. A solar panel is your friend! It doesn't solve all the problems, of course. Refurb'd Zamp units were a good choice a few years ago (maybe 30% less than list price?), but I have not shopped since then. I...

I've heard nothing other than what you see above. We remain interested. -Al

I had not considered the wear on the galley seal. (but I'm guessing that you do more nights in the TD than we do)

I wonder if the result would be more easily achieved by just propping the galley open a few inches (though I haven't solved that approach easily and safely). Kudos to you for developing a solution you like. My bigger problem is when the galley is closed during the day and ambient temp is...
