    Galley Sun Shade

    I like the idea, but I'd like it more if it was useful when the galley is closed. If you keep the galley open, you don't get much heat in the galley, compared to when the galley is closed. I'd like an easy awning that you deploy when the galley is closed. That's when the galley heats up and...

    All stays Camp & RV app

    AllStays doesn't appear to have the sites that are on HipCamp. We found a great private campground via HipCamp, so folks should keep that on their smart phone. Hipcamp | Find yourself outside | Discover the best camping near you

    550 / 560 Galley Hatch Lift?

    I echo Duke's sentiment. The current design is very cool.

    Windows Front Window Thoughts

    We have the front windows. Maybe if I lived in a very hot climate I wouldn't want them, but I really like how they make the cabin "feel." I've not had a problem with too much light coming in. We did have a tiny leak, caused by the seal at a window deteriorating. Cleaned the area and applied...

    Packing Light Vs. Fuel Economy

    When I asked this question I was focused on weight as a safety issue, not an MPG or $ issue, though some folks did ready my poorly-drafted question as being an MPG question. I can't imagine adding so much weight to the TD that it would impact mpg/$ in any meaningful way. Seems like it makes...

    Nice Folding Table

    soft top, so the only items you can really put on the table are cups/bottles that fit in the cupholders (i.e., you can't put a wine bottle on that table; but you can put a plate, of course). I think I still like my foldable REI aluminum table, but this one looks faster to set up.

    Weight - Or "how Much Crap Can We Put In Our Td?"

    Maybe the point of this thread is to remind some of us (ME!!) to "follow Carey's distribution of weight guidelines" I know I haven't looked at those for quite some time. But since we have the electric brakes and don't plan to strap a dead caribou to the rear of it, we are probably safe!! :)

    Weight - Or "how Much Crap Can We Put In Our Td?"

    No problem and no need to apologize. My first post wasn't clear. Not a big deal, at all.

    Weight - Or "how Much Crap Can We Put In Our Td?"

    When I started this thread my concern was over safe towing, not conserving fuel. Though energy conservation is important (and I appreciate Bear making note of it), my only real concern here is safety. I guess I assume that we all know that the more weight our TV engine is pulling, the more...

    Tow Vehicle Update

    I've been trying to understand when GM plans to put diesels in the SUVs (as I prefer an SUV to a pickup), but hard to find that info.... Glad you are enjoying your new rig. Looks great, and I'm sure towing is a breeze.

    Hand Forged Tent Stakes

    no doubt sometimes we need a heavier duty stake!! Expensive, but very cool. Am glad he was willing to adjust the design.

    80 Or 120 Watt Solar Panel

    The size difference between the 120 and the 80 didn't matter to us. If we had room to carry the 80, we had room for the 120. Other folks may have less space than we do, of course. If cost is the issue, Zamp does sell refurbished panels. I bought a refurb'd panel and it has been fine. An...

    Shoe Recommendations

    I'm a fan of dirt, but campsites are pretty dirty dirt as dirt goes, I think. and there is no benefit to kids playing in dirt that dogs, for example, have shat in - and many campgrounds still allow pets and many owners allow their pets to foul campsites. If you took a look at the dirt at your...

    80 Or 120 Watt Solar Panel

    bigger is better, unless you can't fit the panel in your TV if that's the case, I'd still buy the big one and carry it on the bed in the TD

    yeah, I can be pretty ridiculous, some times I hope you enjoyed the video. He and his band are excellent, if you like that genre. I've actually eaten a BBQd salmon that I had dropped into the gravel at a state park campground. Brushed off the dirty gravel and ate my dinner. Likely I...
