    Favorite Budget Not-from-ci-accessory

    If you have bad knees and you don't have something like this, you are really missing out. Absolutely the best for getting down on the ground around the car or trailer. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Soft-Foam-Kneeling-Pad-90346/315303737?

    Favorite Pricey Not-from-ci-accessory

    I use an LG inverter microwave. It varies the draw of power based on the cook settings you use, unlike a regular microwave that will draw full power and then cycle on and off to try and simulate a less than full power cook setting. When I run it it at 70% power it only draws around 1050 watts...

    Favorite Pricey Not-from-ci-accessory

    I travel with 3 sogens. Small, medium and large. They fit different needs. On my recent 3 week trip I started using the small one (Jackery 300) to run the Dometic fridge at night and not be a drain on my AGM battery. The medium (Ecoflow River Pro) runs an egg cooker and makes coffee. (The coffee...

    I Want To Visit California!

    The Redwoods are 700 miles north of LA. Route 66 is a totally different trip and not the way to get to the redwoods, especially if you are short on time. If you do go to the redwoods, I would recommend getting there sometime between mid May and mid June. That is when the rhododendrons bloom...

    Denting My Rear Bumper

    I did that a couple of times bringing my 560 home from Necedah. Since then I've just been very careful when backing up and turning. I'm not aware of anything to stop it from happening.

    550 / 560 Placing Order Soon - A Few Detailed Questions...

    If you want to save the drive, these work just fine. They still only charge at USB A speed but I don't find that to be a problem. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B87WKS77?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

    A General Statement About Nomad Internet

    I’ve looked into Verizon home internet. It’s only available in very select areas where their 5G Ultra Wideband is available. Can’t see it working anywhere one would camp.

    By all means, do be careful with varying state laws.

    Glow In The Dark Markers Inside The Ci

    FWIW, I find switching the light over the door to red and turning it way down works perfect as a nightlight. I can easily sleep with it on and when I awake there is enough light to see the basics.

    It Fits!

    I too purchased a Clean Waste unit and accessories prior to picking up my 560 in June of 2021. It's been sitting in the same storage bin but yet to be used. Nice to know it's there if need be and nice that it fits in the storage bin.

    Solo Fire Pit

    Because my unit is smaller, I have only needed one starter to light wood. I ended up needing two to start the pellets the first night. I tried again last night but this time I only fulled the canister half full. One starter worked fine and it was flaming in 3-4 minutes. I have a feeling the...

    Seth, I'm getting vibes of Cowboy Kent Rollins. Are you available for hire? ;)

    Solo Fire Pit

    I burned the pellets last night. A few thoughts... They took longer to get started than real firewood. 30 minutes vs 3 to 4 minutes. Once they did start flaming the fire ran longer without me needing to feed it more often. That was nice. However, you have to be careful adding more pellets to...

    Solo Fire Pit

    Sweeney. I just bought a bag of these hardwood cooking pellets (20lbs - $8) to try. Pit Boss 20lbs Bbq Hardwood Pellets : Target I believe they are better quality (cleaner and possibly burn hotter?) than the 40lb $6 bags made just for heating. I'll be trying them in my little Mesa XL tonight...

    Another Option For A Refrigerator

    There have been (maybe still are?) companies out there offering a fridge with built in battery but I forgot who they were. The Kickstarter pricing is nice if you want to go down that road. I did once and got soured rather quickly, although I did receive a full refund. I'm not really sure...

    Solo Fire Pit

    The varying park rules do make it difficult to keep up. But if the park does not specifically outlaw bringing your own, look into buying kiln dried hardwood to bring with you. Kiln dried will kill all pests as well as help the wood burn better. I recently received my Solo Mesa XL. Due to its...

    Wiring A Jeep Tj For Towing

    There’s a waterproof type of electrical tape I would recommend to use over the connectors after you solder them. I used it when I had to splice my power cord. The guy at Home Depot recommended it and Cary agreed it’s the best for keeping a dry connection. I did then tape over all the connectors...

    Wiring A Jeep Tj For Towing

    I’ve never had to try backing up in the dark. But I’m not sure the lights really matter. I’m way more concerned about keeping it in the fairway and not hitting the obvious stuff on the sides. LoL I think I only added the backup lights because they were one of the cheaper options and, well, who...
