Tisha, you write that you're considering a several months long tour of the country next year. Somebody posted the following link elsewhere in this forum (Sorry, I haven't taken the time to look for it, so I apologize for not crediting the poster). It's the very well written blog of a young...

Yep, B&A have the solution I had in mind: Unhook, place blocks of some sort under the wheels of the tow vehicle to get the ball up higher, then rehook. There are also additional, unused bolt holes on the wheel post mounting plate that might allow it to be moved up two inches or so. Haven't...

A very tempered response. Thanks, Hilditch.

To All: Well, as one of the early responders to this thread, I'd like to take a moment to add two more thoughts after having heard from you others. First, my reply above was heavily -- heavily -- edited from what I had initially drafted. I wanted to blurt out some pretty strong feelings...

OK, I ran across my very first issue with it this week. I had disconnected and rolled the trailer in to an uneven camping spot by hand the previous day. Getting ready to hook up and leave the following morning, I backed the 4Runner down to where the ball was in place, turned the crank to lower...

I have less than two years and fewer than one-hundred nights in my trailer. I have valid opinions about it. As a satisfied Camp-Inn customer and one of those infrequent posters, I have found this forum to be extremely helpful, and its participants wonderfully welcoming and friendly. Thank...

I'm still trying to understand what the issue is with the stock Camp-Inn hitch wheel. Mine seems sturdy, cranks down the way it should, folds up nicely and stays up, rolls easily to allow me to push the trailer around in the garage, and is in every way totally functional. Granted, it looks...

Welcome, ziacamper! Finally, more Camp-Inns in New Mexico! I won't bore you with my details (you can check out my initial Meet & Greet posting for that), but yours will now be at least the third 560 Ultra in New Mexico. A few months ago I couldn't locate any Camp-Inns there through this...

OK, sorry 'bout that. I just got a chuckle out of it, though, when I went under the trailer and saw those narrow WW's. I'd never noticed anything on your website that explained or illustrated the real WWW's, though, so a natural mistake to make. My bad.

I second the bright lights recommendation. Wow, what a relief in that otherwise-dim cabin when one wants to read with these old eyes. (And my 560 and I are heading from SF Bay Area, via Albuquerque -- Baloon Festival time! -- to RI/MA/NH/Maine and return in October/November for a month).

How about an outboard mount and rudder option for the rear?

Seems to me that the choice between 550 and 560 is pretty much a question of funds and how long you plan to keep it. If you consider yours a lifetime purchase and funds are not a real issue (although nobody likes to pay more than they need to, for many it's not really a choice between upgrading...

I'd take exception to one comment: "I'm sure this is an exception." Nope, if you're referring to having people stare, approach, photograph, comment, etc., you'll probably find it isn't the exception. My grandson and I this week just finished our 3,000 mile round trip from Albuquerque to...

In the interests of complete accuracy, let me reword. Cary's February e-mail to me when I was deciding which to order didn't say the battery space for the standard battery was physically smaller. What he said was that the rear section is "built differently," and, "The larger battery cannot be...

OK, guys. I never thought I had an answer, just thought the question should be asked. A bit over two weeks from today (August 4th!) I should have my very own 560 Ultra owner's manual and a chance to talk with the experts in Necedah one-on-one, so I'll be listening for that particular bit of...

Hmmmm... I thought this excellent thread had pretty much played itself out, but now I just can't help myself. I have to add a question Evan's note brings up. "[P]lug it in to an outlet when you store at home...." Evan, how are these things wired? Are you saying the 12v system rides on...

Well, my estimated late-July pickup has now officially become August 4th in Necedah, so I have a few extra days to get this right. I ask not so much for myself as for my seven year old grandson who will probably have at least one "Pappy, I gotta go, RIGHT NOW!" episode per day on our three day...

Well, let's see. I asked about "the Lexus of portable toilets," and got suggestions for a homer bucket with baby wipes and alcohol, plastic coffee cans 1/3 full of peat, an undisclosed "something smaller that my girlfriend had trouble hitting," and a comment from another guy as old as I am...

OK, just about time to think about picking up my 560Ultra (later this month -- "late-July" -- hopefully). So, time to think about essentials for the trip home. Past time, in fact. Question: What's the Lexus of portable toilets? Who among us has what, and what are the benefits and...

Yes, the Prodigy was the other controller I evaluated at the same time. Another good choice, it seemed to me. I liked the mounting arrangement for the P3 a little better for my underdash location, plus it had all those superfluous little bells and whistles that are seductive but I'll probably...
