I copied Jenn, here's my post of dual-duty shade and air conditioner cold air director. Fan Room Darkening and Air Cond Mgmt Material

Congrats! Watertown, WI? Don't forget to check out events in Wisconsin/Minnesota/Illinois. Check the TearJerkers and T&TTT forums above for when and where different near-by gatherings are.

Congrats! You'll love it, I'm sure. And although a lot of us name them, it isn't actually mandatory, lol. If it wants to be named, a name will come to you. :)

(this is just my opinion, I could be wrong and probably am). If you are tied to your Toyota Yaris, I just quickly looked it up for towing capacity; and it doesn't look like it's rated for towing in the US at all. I know that sometimes one can "get away with towing anyway"; but you may want to...

I've seen one; and checked it out. I was impressed by the quality. It's made of wood, steel (I think) and canvas. and well-designed for portability, yet still comfortable as a director-style chair. One of the other things that one COULD do with it; is you can optionally get leg extenders (I...

That's a tough call, IMO. I think Cary could reply here with the top 2 or 3 tow vehicles they see when people come to pick up their trailer. But everyone is different depending upon where they'll be camping, and what's important to them--maybe having lots of space in the tow vehicle for gear...

I don't currently need anything for laundry on the road; but I've heard good things about "theScrubba" for portability. But I also wonder if a sealed bucket and a bumpy road will work, too. lol

I've been looking for "the perfect" collapsible colander (for rinsing fruit and veggies, not for steaming or cooking). And I think I might have a winner! It's not road or trip-tested yet, but I think it'll work out for what I wanted. It's called "Fozzils Snapfold...

Sounds like a simple question, but I have a complex answer. It depends how early in the day did I stop? or how late on the following day will I be staying before departing? Would I get enough usefulness out of the side tent that's worth having a wet side tent or REI alcove in the back of the...

Awesome travels!

Yes! Another Cooler for Discussion! :) The Pelican 20 Quart. As of writing this, $225 @Amazon, Pelican ProGear 20 Quart. Compare to Yeti Tundra 35, $360 (@Amazon) Your first reaction, like mine was... "20 vs 35, clearly the Yeti will hold more". Well sure--but not as much as you...

Congrats!

Cricket and TigerMoth Dealers - Taxa Outdoors , there's an option to hang hammocks for kids. Don't know if there is anything else small-ish like a TD that sleeps 4. You could always work with a custom builder, like http://www.whetzcc.com/, they make the Wetzeldorf, and they might be able to...

This wasn't a "DIY" project, but I found one that looks EXACTLY like this one from Bed Bath and Beyond--but I know I bought it at Target. But that was several years ago; so maybe Target doesn't carry them anymore...

The TrailerValet looks nice. As for the tongue weight when in use--maybe using some other standalone prop, extremely sturdy of course, to level the trailer, and not use the trailervalet at all when parked? I currently use a trailer dolly for maneuvering the TD around. The above looks like a...

Well, I'm no A/C expert, so I don't know how to measure efficiency. :-) I did use the a/c on a hot and humid weekend, with the material redirecting airflow. I do have a temp gauge for indoor and outdoor temp, and the internal temp did drop quickly. Would it have been any better without the...

I have the older model of this:http://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-20-Inch-Loop-Folding-Black/dp/B00IASZ7QG/ref=dp_ob_title_sports For my purposes, it's what I wanted. When I was researching, you can get lighter or folds down more compactly, or has other features, but then of course cost goes up...

That start date for CICO of Friday the 25th is just the official start date. I'll be there on the 23rd! Others will arrive even earlier. Come join us early birds and show off your shiny new 550.

That's why I bought the cast iron skillet I have for camping from Goodwill. It's not a Griswold or anything cool, but it was clearly old and crusty; so it was old. Reseasoned it, and it's smooth as glass on the inside bottom.

I had heard of others making some fabric to cover the roof vent for room darkening (if not using the fan) and decided to do a little diy project; since I recently needed upholstery fabric for a different (in house) project and had some left over pieces. And then I also thought... what I also...
