We use red speckled enamel plates. Wash up is usually fast. If its sandwiches on the go -we use a paper towel. Eileen

Would a foggy coastal night cause it to close up when you want ventilation?? To me, its one more thing to maintain and fuss with, when I really just want to go camping! Reaching up and closing a hatch is no big deal in my book. i love that the teardrop is sooooo simple! Yet works so well!!

We use just regular old bricks -put cloth covers. Skip and Diane made a PVC square they plunk on the bottom of the tent that helps it keep its shape. I'm thinking of trying that too. Eileen

We have a fold'n'go Colman BBQ. Picked it up at Sam's club last year with a fabric case at a great price. It cooks great and tucks in under the sink (far left bottom storage. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Fold-Go-Portable-Grill/dp/B001RTY0JA We took an example from the Eastmans and...

May I add: Never never camp next to someone with the nickname "Kegman" Eileen

Paine's galley at Lake Peris

We use 4 bricks - one in each corner inside the tent. The Eastman's put theirs in socks, I make covers from old fleece material. The bricks live in the storage cubby. The Eastmans Also have made a pvc pipe pipe square (collapsible) that fits the bottom of the tent to help keep it squared and...

Eastmans (#33) and Paines (#322)

I LOVE IT!!!! Just got home from Lake Perris gathering and realize I need to think out organizing a bit more. You've made my day! Thanks Eileen

Re: Starved Rock State Park, IL NOOOOOO thank you!!!!!! yes I am a wimpy So CaL girl. Lake Perris is looking to be 80-85 this weekend -my idea of winter camping!

I'm packing up to head over to Lake Perris tomorrow. I'll go over first thing and Tim will come when he can get away. He gave finals yesterday and needs to grade them. We live 15 miles from Lake Perris -so its commuter camping for us. Also first time for the 6 mo old puppy to camp! I'd have...

How fun! Isn't it great to have it home! We've had ours almost a year and I still smile when I enter the garage and see it! The varnish smell is still faintly there -i've been changing the bedding etc, getting ready for our first trip of the year next week, and just pick up the odor of new.

Good luck keeping Carly in the side tent!!!!! We failed miserably at human/canine segregation! Congrats on your new trailer! Eileen

MMMMMMMM. Think I will try it at the SCCT gathering in Lake Perris on the 19th-21rst. Eileen

Steve, Let me know how it works out and how easy to install. We too are an 09 550. While it LOOKS easy, I'd hate to really screw things up on our beautiful trailer!

I LOVE our teardrop. Even though we haven't had it a year. It makes it so much easier to go camping, so we go more often. We are lucky to be within hours of the high Sierras, the coast and the desert - someplace to go all year. No looking for the tent,groundcloth,sleeping bags, cook stove, etc...

Linda, Shelties are smaller than Standard Poodles -but they are a ball of energy. We do dog agility with a couple shelties. Great, smart dogs!!! Where is Arkansas are you?? We were in Fayetteville from 81-86. Tim worked at UA, until he got a faculty position at UC Riverside. Spring is...

When you check out trailers-lay on the bed take a look at the depth of the foot space. Its pretty tight, so don't count a dog at your feet!! When we camped with the female last year, she stayed between us at chest height. We have a queen size comforter, while big to just lay over the bed, it...

I think the 560 would give you more options than our 550. I think if the pups would curl up on the couch, or at least one would, it should work. Our small female standard (46 pounds) is a curler, while the boy pup (37 # at 5 mo) is a stretch out flopper. He has begun sneaking onto the bed at...

Mea culpa, mea culpa - I got 29-31 on the way TO Wisc to get the trailer. the way back WITH the trailer was 24 (mostly interstates). I should know to look at the data properly before i publish it!
