I offer no advice for putting one of these up other than don't do it my way. My first attempt putting up the side tent this last weekend was NOT a pretty sight. I was terrified to take it down and try over because putting it up the first time was like wrestling a greased pig. I had poles...

What do you use to adjust the side table legs when the legs have been extended all the way out and you still need several inches? Do you have anything permanent or do you use a chunk of firewood like I did this last weekend?

Portland is close to my old stomping grounds having grown up in the Kelso/Longview area. It is such a beautiful city. It's also a quick trip to the beach which I wish I could do every weekend. Here's my two cents as a new owner. I didn't see a need for the bumper. After backing up into an...

I hadn't even taken our Camp-Inn out on a trip and realized these things are an attention magnet. People would comment while it was just in my driveway. My comment only referred to showing it (as in a complete tour) so many times in one trip. From the sounds of it, it really isn't completely...

Thanks Cary. It was quite a chore getting it cleaned up but I'm still happy as a clam. I'll email you.

Thanks Betsy

Great idea! I'm definitely going to start one.

I have found this out, to my surprise, that everyone I have invited and said they will return, has done so. If someone comments on it, I'll invite them in. But I am eager to show my CI off. We already have two trips planned with people we have met camping, so inviting people into camp isn't a...

LOL, great idea George. Everyone was exceptionally polite and it really didn't help being the camp site next to the water and outhouse... maybe they were visiting us out of necessity? :)

I don't have that much experience but I'm sure this is an exception. We were out this weekend and there was a huge group that home schools their kids (their association has over 500 families)camping at the same site. We were like a magnet to these people. I didn't count but I am almost sure we...

I do know that once you get it going, you'll be very happy with propane over gas. You are correct, it's probably something simple. I'll have to get a picture of the latest propane carburetor on our certified engines. With all the new emission regulations, it looks like something NASA designed.

LM, the company I work for a company that converts gas engines to propane all the time. First, propane is a pressurized fuel that ignites in the gaseous form. Gasoline ignites in the liquid form so the carburetors are completely different. I couldn't tell by the picture if your generator can...

Thanks, this helps a lot. I think it's a great idea to find a group around town that does DO cooking. I would have never guessed it had that kind of following. It's running across stuff like this that has made owning a CampInn so much fun so far. George, I have to be honest, at first read I...

After spending our first weekend out with Evan and his family and eating their DO pizza, getting a DO is now a must. What is the best size DO for camping (family of four)4, 8 or 10qt? What other accessories should we pick up? I've noticed several DO cook books too, what are the best for...

I commented in the Alaska Question thread, that the bears in Yellowstone are much more dangerous for the very reason that they are accustomed to human contact. It's also the reason, when I took the picture, that I was standing next to a park ranger with a very big gun.

Although we didn't camp in Alaska, we traveled extensively (even Kodiak) and did not see a bear. On the other hand, we saw several bears during our visit to Yellowstone. Because of their familiarity with humans, I was much more concerned about them there. It's already been said, but...

I hauled around a 26ft. Nash for a few years. It was a beautiful camper but I hated hauling it, trying to find a location and watching the fuel gauge move quicker than the speedometer. Rarely did I have anyone ask, "Could we see your trailer?" Even when someone would ask, I was leery of...

The nice thing about living in the Yakima area is we are only 1-1/2 hrs away from Mt. Rainier National Park. While the temperatures at home have been in the 100's, the mountain were about 85 degrees this weekend during the day and cooled to the mid 50's during the evening. Our camp was only...

We just returned from our first trip in our 550 Ultra. We were happy to join up with Evan, Lena and Katie (fantastic family)at La Wis Wis campground in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest just outside Packwood WA. We were not disappointed with our new camper and were equally thrilled to...

Steve, if I ever make it to Tennessee, I'll be sure to look you up and we can go throw some line in the water. And if you're so inclined, the beer is on me. Thanks Pat, we appreciate all the prayers. Trust me, with out them, my daughter would not be here.
