You've got a really cool back yard campground now. I hope it doesn't stop you from traveling around and sampling the other cool stuff out there in the Pacific Northwest.

Let's see some inside pics!

I think lithium battery station should work just fine. Here is what I bought to connect mine to the trailer: Amazon.com: KUNCAN 4FT 12-24V Double Male to Male Cigarette Lighter Plug Extension Cable, with LED Lights, 16 AWG Heavy Duty Cable, Power Charger Cord, Fuse 10A: Automotive It will be a...

I ordered a similar device just prior to picking up my teardrop (#904): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M260BAN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Along with a 105 watt solar panel: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M8LCDN2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's...

If you have a choice I'd recommend an impact driver rather than a cordless drill for the simple reason that it does not transmit all of the massive torque to your wrist. I have both the Dewalt 20 volt drill and their 20 volt impact driver. On a recent trip, my camping buddy suggested I use the...

I just came back from my 8th trip out to Green Ridge State Forest in Western Maryland. It's safe to say this is my favorite camping spot in Maryland but it is not for everyone. One of the reasons I like camping is to get away from all the trappings of urban life - the hoards of people...

This weekend I did an overnighter out in Western Maryland (Green Ridge State Forest) and got to put the Ascent through its paces. First off, it's interstate most of the way from Baltimore out to the area. Setting the adaptive cruise control at 70 going through the mountains yielded much worse...

Boondocking last night in Green Ridge State Forest in Western Maryland, the temps dipped into the high 20s. I used both of my hot water bottles which I tucked in a couple of hours before going to bed. It made for a comfy nights sleep. I splurged last year on a 2 person Rumpl Down blanket and...

I used to use a sun shower but found that it was often difficult to find a suitable place to hang it. I've moved on to a collapsible bucket and a battery operated shower pump. I heat water up on my stove and dump in the bucket and can set up the shower nearly anywhere. The collapsible bucket...

I plan to bring my 5 gallon propane tank this weekend which should allow me to heat water with abandon - also going to bring along a portable propane fire pit to warm things up at the campsite. If we can scrounge dry wood we'll make a real fire as well but with the rain we're having we might...

I have an old one from West Marine that is made for boats and can go to really low temperatures (to just above freezing if necessary). I've only used it on one weekend and found that it worked ok - the problem being that the area below the ceiling is about 30 degrees warmer than the bunk. I...

Sounds great! Keep us posted on your trips.

The Eastern Shore of Maryland is really flat so this helped a lot with that run; but that mileage was over 157 miles of measurement.

I haven't thought about gas mileage improvement with the hitch. I guess it might help a bit by causing less wobble but probably this would be negligible. The main advantage is that it is smoother and much quieter. I also put a generous smear of grease on the ball itself which reduces noise...

Recently I headed down to the Eastern Shore of Maryland with a buddy of mine to camp at Pocomoke River State Park. Checking the weather, it was forecast to be quite warm (high 80s in the day and lows at night in the low 70s). This is unseasonably warm for early October in Maryland and prompted...

Hi Jim and Jamie, We were at the Shad Landing campground. I'll have to go ahead and post that review. Thanks for the invite to the tearjerkers local group. I'll have to give that some thought. Ben

Welcome to the forum. It'll be a good platform to get out with your pup and explore. Hopefully you have the AC option down in Texas this will allow you to sleep comfortably while camping during the long Texas summer.

Looks brand new. Congratulations! Keep us posted on your adventures. We'd all love to hear of good camping spots in Florida.

Was it a challenge finding sites each night or did you plan your stays beforehand? Looks like a great trip.

I've been interested in electric bikes for the past couple of years. I think I'll ride more if I can hit the hills without difficulty. Please report back how it goes.
