I'm sorry to hear of the pain you're experiencing Bear but glad to have your perspective back here on the board. I work in medicine and am often trying to come up with solutions for patients who come to me with an array of maladies. Hearing of your sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation -...

This past weekend I did a 3 day trip to Pocomoke State Park on the Eastern shore of Maryland. It's a nice spot to get out and do some paddling if you have a canoe or kayak or bigger water if you have such a vessel (Chesapeake Bay via the Pocomoke river). Since I had the space, I decided to...

Great question! Only because I arrived at half time.

My 3rd outing with the Ascent was this past weekend. I towed ~314 miles round trip. I can confirm that the rattle tamer referenced above works very well. It makes for a much quieter and less bumpy towing experience. On the drive from Baltimore down to Pocomoke State Park, I was able to...

My wife would like to go back again which is pretty high praise for the place. This weekend headed to Pocomoke on the eastern shore. Will post a review - glad you've encouraged it!

I just took my second trip with the teardrop. I'll say that there isn't much discernible difference in braking or acceleration towing versus not towing. That's not a big surprise though given that it's rated to tow 5000 pounds and my trailer is right around 1000. I do notice the rattling of...

Looks like a trip into western Canada is in order. Just a few provinces needed to complete the map.

I just got back from a weekend at Elk Neck State Park which is located at the far northern reaches of the Chesapeake Bay. It is located on a peninsula with the Elk River on one side and the mouth of the Susquehanna on the other. There are several loops available - only one with electric which...

Assateague is my wife's favorite camping spot. Unfortunately storms kept us away earlier this month. I bring along a little shovel bury a piece of firewood to use to hold our shade tarp in place on the beach. This works a lot better than even the long orange stakes from home depot.

There are several nice state parks within a relatively small area around here. I also like Cunningham Falls State park which is at Catoctin Mountain (Camp David) and Gambrill State Park which is south of Cunningham Falls and east of Greenbrier. All 3 are fairly close to Frederick which is a...

Welcome to the community! There is a wealth of knowledge about Camp-Inns in particular but lots of good advice about camping in general. Folks here are friendly and helpful and very rarely will you find anyone say anything hurtful to another community member. It's a nice tonic in a world that...

I just came back from a weekend at Greenbrier State Park which is about midway between Frederick and Hagerstown just south of Interstate 70. It's not quite far enough at about .4 miles southwest to be completely quiet in terms of traffic sounds from I 70 and Route 40. I chose this as a...

I just got back from my first weekend towing Tipitina (550 Ultra) with our new Subaru Ascent. It was 142 miles of towing roundtrip from Baltimore to Greenbrier State Park in western Maryland. My main reference for comparison is our 2011 Subaru Outback 4 cylinder (2.7L?). I had towed the...

Depending on when you needed your tow vehicle, the Ascent might not have been an option. It pretty much just is arriving on the market now. In fact, I have only seen one other Ascent on the road and that was in Michigan in August - none in my area (Baltimore region). Although it has a CVT...

Perhaps you adding the qualifier "for those of you that have to leave your beloved trailer outside" deterred folks from answering that Camp-Inn sells a custom fit cover for $431. I haven't used it personally but have read posts in the past about it doing a good job. The one thing you really...

I went to investigate this campground and it looks like due to New York State Health Department Regulations, they no longer allow RVs of any sort - Tent only now.

The rumors of demand outstripping supply have proven true. I placed an order on June 3rd and it's just arrived today at the dealer. Will pick up tomorrow and hope to review its towing ability soon (planning to camp next weekend in Western Maryland).

That is a lot in less than a year! How did you rack up so many? (several long trips vs every weekend?)

Hi Jim, Looks like folks mostly go to Cordorus to fish from their boats. I'm wondering what other activities you've found there besides fishing? (ie any good hikes, etc?) Thanks. Ben

If my recollection serves correctly, the top vent should be closed during travel. Apparently it's ok with some other RVs but the Camp-Inn has particular aerodynamics at speed that are problematic when the dome is left open. I have accidentally left mine open for short stints with no...
