It's a tough question to answer how much security is "needed". Most of us put locks on the hitch latch. I also bought a lock to fit in the hitch itself along with a wheel lock. A determined thief could thwart all off these efforts but these will certainly slow him down. There are also gps...

Interesting perspective! For those of us contemplating full timing, the thought of getting rid of all the stuff that owns us seems liberating. Not having the cost and concerns about ongoing upkeep of a house are certainly attractive. What are the biggest challenges you face and are they...

Are you all also exploring Nova Scotia this trip? I'm thinking about a 2 week trip next summer around the area. Just at the earliest stages of planning at this point.

I'm sure there are others on the forum who know the area better than me and who can provide more informed suggestions but I think you could have a great trip just touring parts of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan and not trying to cover it all. Based on what you're describing with the 2 kids...

Hi Sarmay, I think it is pretty unlikely that you'll have trouble with the trailer on the first trip requiring help from the folks at Camp Inn. In fact I don't recall a single anecdote of someone needing a repair on a new unit. I don't think that many people use the 2 year warranty. Most of...

Reading how much extra equipment and cost it requires to keep a fridge operational it makes me wonder if it's worth the effort. Why not get a modern high end ice chest that will hold ice for a week or so? I like having abundant ice each day for ice water and also use the melt water as...

Dixie, I think you ought to go ahead and buy one of these Camp Inns. You've asked 13 times if one is "still available". You need to get out and do some camping!

Please report how things go at Trap pond. Most folks just head to the beaches of Delaware and ignore anything inland. I'd love to hear how it goes there as this is within easy striking distance for me. Thanks.

Did you make reservations beforehand or are you able to find spots ok just rolling in to the different campgrounds?

I don't use a CPAP but do have the above unit. It's pretty nice in terms of flexibility in power delivery (120AC, 12V and several USB outlets). It fits well in the front cabinet (at the head of the bed). It will tell you power output or input (in watts) at any given moment. I also got a 100W...

I go to the car washes with the hand held power wash. Unfortunately the only one on my side of town recently closed. If you do scrub, be sure to follow the grain of the aluminum brushing.

Re the Maine portion: We just got back from a week of camping on Mount Desert Island (Acadia National Park). The Mount Desert Campground on Somes Sound is probably my favorite campground so far that I've taken our Teardrop. It's near the center of the island (but waterfront) and is a good...

The wiring seems the more complex part of the equation. I think it might be beyond the abilities many of us. (It was for me and the 2012 Outback). For the new Subaru Ascent, I ordered the factory installed hitch. Going with a non OEM option would not be so great as the bumper has a removable...

Has anyone seen or heard from Bear since he disappeared from the forum? Hoping he’s doing ok.

It's true that a couple of well positioned trees make it much simpler to string up a tarp. I've got a couple of the Kelty tarp poles (which are pretty $$ but work fairly well). I'm planning to purchase a couple more so that I can pitch the tarp without any trees. Assateague Island is one...

There was a thread a while back addressing this issue. There is a product that will create a dual hitch to allow a bike rack. Here's a link: Dual Hitch w/ bike carrier in use

Sounds like a great trip! How long will y'all be on the road? What type of drying rack is that you're using?

OK, slightly off topic - I want to say what chair I don't like as a public service announcement. I usually like the stuff from REI but their REI Co-op Camp Compact Chair is a real dud. We bought 2 a couple of years ago. After a year or so the seams split - we thought it was a fluke. They did...

I think the tongue box looks great! Having the ability to haul some of those dirtier items outside of the tow vehicle or cabin of the teardrop is a real asset. I deleted the propane and sink from my build but do have the bump out which leaves much less space on the tongue. I'd like to make...

It is with a bit of trepidation that I post a review of this campground only because it is hard enough already to score a site here as things stand. That said, I enjoyed Mount Desert Campground so much that it would be a shame for other "Camp-Inner's" to not be made aware of it if going to the...
