I'm still puzzeling over the idea of adding salt to the ice. Does it really stay cold longer? It seems like if it melts sooner it would warm up quicker. When making ice cream we want the ice to melt and freeze the ice cream sooner but once the ice is melted doesn't it warm up faster?? I sure...

I took a piece of scrap carpet and put carpet tape around the raw edges. Made a couple of loops out of the carpet tape so I could get a hold of it to pull it out. The carpet side is down and the fridge sits on it. This makes it easy to pull out the fridge and saves ware on the cozy. I also use...

I hope to follow in some of your footsteps in the future. You are very brave. Driving to Alaska in a car that already had 180,000 miles on it. Keep the stories coming. I love to hear about the highs and the lows.

I remember the time. It is very exciting. Now the shopping begins. Fun! I waited 9 months for mine because 6 was in the dead of winter. Just like having a baby.

Thank you for your condolences. I can't even imagine how hard that was to lose your mom when she was only 63. My mom was 67 when she moved here. We had 30 great years together. We always had projects going. Sometimes we made a mess of them before we figured out how to fix the mess. I used to...

Yes, I am going from Washington state. I have family in Kansas to visit then up to Wisconsin to visit my brother. Craters of the Moon looks very interesting. Just went to the Sunset Crater Volcano this spring in Arizona. Awe inspiring sight. So much to see, so little time. I was planning on...

That must have been an amazing trip. I would love to see some pictures and hear more about your experiences. I would like to make that trip some time. I doubt I will be able to as don't have the nerve to travel that far alone and don't have anyone to go along. It would be great to have a...

Thank you everyone for all the information. I should have looked at my fridge instructions. I think I need to double check and see if I have it set properly. I also wondered about putting a frozen jar of ice in there is case the fridge shut down. I think you are right that I need to test it in...

Randy, Thanks, I'll look up the Booster and you reminded me that my Mom may have one of those little compressors in the shop. I'm sure if she was still here she would know exactly where. I think I will look for it. That battery protector looks like a good idea. I was hoping to never run the...

Can anyone recommend a portable battery booster with air compressor? On my upcoming trip I will have the refrigerator in the back of the car and want some insurance that I will be able to start my car if the fridge drains the battery. Thanks

Thank you every one for your kind words and sympathy. Sorry I messed up my reply. dustinp, your Mom was incredible. I took my mom to California and she went on the ride Montezuma's Revenge. She said she couldn't get her eyes open the whole way. She was fun and willing to try new things. I'm...

I had left the bottom curtain rail in place when I took the curtain clips off the bottom of the curtains. Now I have removed the bottom rail and put fender washers under the screws that previously held the rail in place. I counter sunk the washers so the screw goes in flush. Now the magnets in...

Welcome, there is a wealth of information here and some people with a lot of experience. Enjoy.

Loved the pictures too. She looks like a happy person as my Mom was also. Mom always said, "You can make yourself just as happy as you want to be or miserable as you want to be. It's your choice."

Thank you Bear and Joan for your sympathy. Mom and I had a lot of good years together. I enjoyed your story about your Mom, Randy. My Mom also enjoyed her computer and even though she struggled with some of it she loved being able to keep in touch with people, ordered stuff on line and...

Where are you, Pete? I see this is 2015 and I'm just reading about your adventures. It is very inspiring. I haven't been on the forum much for a while.

Oh my gosh, what a great trip. I'm sorry I missed reading about this. I hope you are still having a great time and getting in lots of adventures.

Nice story and great pictures. I went there in May without my Camp Inn. Went with a friend that I didn't want to sleep with. lol. I want to go again with my trailer and see even more of that area. Very interesting and beautiful.

This sounds wonderful. Maybe next year.

I picked up my 560 in May of 2014 and the longest trip I have made was driving the trailer home. I had hoped that my Mom would want to travel with me. I had the handicapped bars installed in my trailer and got the side tent for a potty. Since my Mom was already 94 at that time I guess I was...
