    Galley Bin Storage boxes

    I've seen this customization at gatherings, and I've been secretly hoping for them for a while. My "stuff" in the bins naturally is stored from bottom up; so it seemed like the top portion of the bins was wasted space--as others have noticed and customized. So this year, after whispering in...

    Storage Shelf Dimensions????

    I have a 550, not a 560; but the galley area is essentially the same I believe (unless there have been significant changes in the last few years, which is possible). Keeping in mind that there might be tolerances and slight differences from one to another, here are the dimension on mine...

    If you follow the Craigslist link, it's not there anymore. I would guess it's no longer available.

    rei alcove

    They work great (if you remember to guy). At Tears By the River Gathering, I had my alcove up with 1 windwall (so, 2 sides) up. I did have it guyed down--the Alcove itself on all 4 corners and the walls at the bottom. The neighbors also had their Alcove w/Wind wall--but NOT guyed down. Mine...

    Non camp-inn mattress

    I have the ci mattress, but like others have added a topper:http://www.campinnforum.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=20139&page=1 I like the wool topper, and yes I used it in summer, too.

    Protecting Galley/Table

    I've done something similar to Frank. I use some of that "kitchen cupboard" liner material. what I did was cut it to size to fit the two halves of the folding table. that's where it lives when setup; when travelling, I set wrap it sorta around the side/cooler table so there's less rubbing. I...

    Dometic insulated cover

    "Theoretically", according to Amazon.com I purchased this one: http://www.amazon.com/WAECO-PROTECTIVE-COVERS-FOR-CF-35/dp/B002OBJJG4 But note that the picture displayed there doesn't look like the one I have. The one I actually received works, it's just that it has zippers and not the...

    Outdoor carpet and gear storage bag

    It is basically an "RV awning mat" . Just search, or go to any local RV place near you, I'm sure they'll have something. They come in various sizes. I don't remember for certain, but I think mine is a 5x7, fits well by the galley. They are nice if its muddy, or if by the galley it's all...

    Aeropress coffee maker

    it cleans like a dream. once you've pressed out the coffee let it cool for a minute or two, then remove the filter piece, and just press the coffee grounds out the rest of the way into garbage. about a 1/2 piece of paper towel to wipe any grounds off the plunger, and done. if you like, use...

    Stickers

    Regarding galley & magnets; no, it's not the type which you can use magnets on. On the inside of the cabinet (on the right) there is a bit of available surface (it protects the back of the 120 and 12v plugs); and I do have a few magnetic things there--they stick well while traveling. Of...

    Door not locking with Key

    Not ideal of course, but as to locking from the inside, if you leave the window closed but not locked, I know I read on here that you can slide the window open from outside, and then very gently push the screen in to unlock the door. And then reseal the screen. So if it were to happen the...

    inside of teardrop

    Under the topic other gear and equipment, on this forum are lots of topics about bedding, curtains, or other things in the cabin. For me, whatever it is needs to have a reason...as well as be lovely. For example, you'll find regarding decorative pillows...you may think you want/need them, but...

    Air Conditioner Retrofitting Options...

    Check with campinn to be sure, but I'm fairly certain that is a "no", can't retro fit. There are things that can be, for example, if you aren't sure about the door screens, I think that is something you can add later, but some options simply must be done at build time.

    Introduction and a plea for help

    So you've made the most important first decision.. A CI! Now it's just whether the 550 or the 560? Hmm... I have the 550. It is just me (not a couple) and sitting up inside isn't a big deal for me. So, from your listed reasons of "why one vs. the other"... since you have been tent campers...

    Some Additions to the Guidon

    I haven't emailed CampInn yet, but rumor has it they've got the extensions available--just not yet listed on the web site. I was going to email and see when I can pick one up (that also works timing wise for when I'll be in the area).

    RickP, you had a couple items that I 'knew' to do but didn't explicitly have it on the checklist, I've added those... and uploaded (let's call it version 1) of a checklist: 550 Ultra Checklist Template - v1 It's specific to what I have, and for a 550. It may be different items depending...

    Checklist before heading home

    I have a couple checklists; this is the main one. I also have a checklist of other items, mostly created from reading the manual or tips here that I keep in excel. That one is more for "how to winterize" types of things. Also keep in mind this is customized to what stuff I have and generally...
