Well, after acquiring my raindrop, I'd consider myself a disciple for Camp-Inn. And my tow vehicles (all three of them) are Toyota SUVs. (And spread to three different residences on the Pacific Coast, Atlantic Coast, and the Southwest).

Wow, so many raindrops! Picked mine up this August (#380)after an almost six-month wait. If Cary and Co. keep up that pace, it won't be long before people out in the world begin to realize what they are and they'll have counterfeiters (if they don't already). It'll be nice to have one of the...

Tears: Nix on the annual licensing fees for brakes, at least here in California where you appear to be (I'm in Marin). Makes no difference brakes or not. I licensed my 560 Ultra here three months ago, brakes and all, with no problem. It's a camp trailer under 16-foot overall, thus gets a PTI...

Wow, who'd a guessed that you'd be able to find baskets so near-perfectly fit to the storage areas? I am definitely Impressed (with a capital-I). Are the fore and aft basket rims stiff and strong enough to support more than just lightweight items in the basket without buckling downward? If...

I suggested to Cary a method for introducing cold, dry outside air through the heater intake to help alleviate the humidity problem, and Cary provided me with a fuller explanation of how the heater ducting works. Not the simple way I had envisioned, so the design modification I had in mind...

One relevant question somebody who has a OEM heater can answer: Does the Camp-Inn propane heater heat and recycle inside air, or does it draw in and heat outside air? If the latter, the incoming heated air should be very dry on cold nights, and that would help remove humidity. An electric...

Brilliant!

LOL, just what I was thinking. It's a little like putting a personalized license plate on your Lexus that says, "Chevy."

I feel your pain, Sarah. It's the same pain I felt back in August after my round trip from New Mexico to Necedah to pick up my 560. As described elsewhere in this forum, the Alcan cover trapped water that then did considerable corrosion damage to the front storage box. After hours of...

Yes, the parking brake is on the right side of the trailer tongue, so when you're standing at the hitch pushing the trailer backward or pivoting it, you can reach down and apply the brake at the same time. There's a picture of the parking brake lever on the Camp-Inn site, linked...

6. Parking Brake Option: Well, I won't say that it's necessarily "worth the money," because it is quite an expensive add-on, and Evan has noted -- maybe more than once -- in other threads that he doesn't think it's worth the cost. I initially left a lot of things off my 560 order last year...

"Plastic cups?" You need plastic cups? Here in the U.S., the rangers would just cite you for having an open alcoholic beverage container in the park. In Canada they kick you in the oompa loompas?? Tough place, Canada.....

Yep, Mick'nSarah, Evan has the answer. Same thing happened to me two weeks ago when I was sleeping in the 560 for the first time in a sub-freezing New England night. Turned on the previously unused furnace to take the chill off when first settling in, then thought I had turned it off only to...

So, all of you forum posters who have experience camping with your kids (or grandkids) in your campers, enlighten me here. After spending a half-dozen nights sleeping alone in my Camp-in, and a half-dozen years around my grandchildren (ages two and seven), I'm trying to imagine what a trip with...

I dunno about "Dottie." Sounds too much like "dotty." when my grandkids start calling me dotty, I'm going to start wondering what they think of my mental state.

Re: Generator So, Dave, you go from 42-foot to 10-foot. I think this is going to be quite an upgrade -- After all, your 42-footer probably didn't have all the same luxurious bells and whistles your new Camp-Inn 10-footer will, like, say, two side tents, alcan cover, and that great Camp-Inn...

Yes, although I have to acknowledge that I was personally a huge fan of the original DG show because it struck home with me as a teenager at the time. One could (sort of) identify with Dobie, Maynard, Zelda, et al and their teenage problems of love and life. Somehow, Gilligan never caught on...

Well, according to the All Knowing Google: "Maynard lived in his own world with its own twisted logic. His name was also illogical, the "G" stood for Walter. According to the show's creator, Maynard was named after his Aunt Walter who was married to his Uncle Edith. His speech was full of...

Thanks, folks, those are good suggestions. But they'll have to await my return from my coast-to-coast trailering trip, which begins tomorrow. San Francisco vicinity to Albuquerque for a couple of days, then on to New England for four weeks, then back via Albuquerque to California.

Well, as one politician said when he was caught in a contradiction, "I always reserve the right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." I'd love to have my trailer's virginity back so I could apply those protective coatings, but that's not gonna happen. "Get over it." It still gets those...
