We use two sets of walls when we need extra privacy or in rain or heavy wind. We usually rig one set along one side and the back, then rig the other set to overlap the back and run along the opposite side. We roll one of the sides back far enough for easy entry and clip it with clothes pins. We...

One consideration is wired vs remote. We have a relatively new car and we didn't want to mount a controller on or under the driver's dash. We opted for a Prodigy model that has a remote controller that send signals, via RF (radio frequency) to the main controller mounted under the trailer. The...

Has anyone tried using 20 watt bulbs instead of the standard 10 watt? They would put out more heat and use more electricity, but since they are on dimmers, you could only dial them up when needed. Thanks

After our first major trip, we'd like to add the CI side tent to our setup. They are out-of-stock on the CI website. Just wondering if anyone here has one they'd part with. Thanks.

Thanks, Karen_Dean, Has anyone tried using 20w bulbs instead of 10w?

Does anyone have a good source for the red xenon light bulbs? The white ones are readily available at hardware stores, but I can't find the red. I'm planning to try a marine supply place in Seattle when I'm there next week, but thought I'd ask here too. Also, has anyone tried 20w bulbs? The...

We really like the NB. We just spent 2 months in FL where we used the awnings for both rain and sun protection. If we're staying at a site for more than a few of days, our standard setup is to have 3 awnings up. One awning goes over the trailer, covering both doors, keeping rain out of the fan...

Welcome home! We had somewhat parallel maiden voyages: winter delivery in Necedah, then head to FL. It would be nice to compare notes sometime. We just returned to Santa Fe a few days ago, with an incentive to clean out the garage. Stella is in the barn, but not for long. Thanks for all of...

We stayed here in early Feb. After camping around FL for 2 months, this is one of our favorites. This park is on a barrier island at the mouth of Tampa Bay. It is administered by Pinellas County. The campsites are well-maintained. The birding is unbelievable. The beach is a short bicycle ride...

Hi Beverly. Sorry we missed you today. We sent a PM with phone numbers. Hope you can make it tomorrow. Jim & Ani

Congratulations, Beverly. What an exciting day for you! We probably saw your trailer at the factory when we picked ours up in late Jan. Having it delivered would have been way easier, but we did have a big adventure (which you are fortunate to have missed). We were just in Punta Gorda with...

D&V, is that the Rio Frio? We'll be in central TX on our way home next month. After visiting family in San Antonio, we're planning to camp at Lost Maples. Do you have any other recommendations in the area?

M&D, the Alcove pic with the side wall up was at Ft. Myers Beach. The spot was too small for the NB. The NB pic was at Sunshine Key RV park on Big Pine Key. The Alcove pic on the beach was at the nearby Bahia Hondo State Park.

We stayed at the Red Coconut RV park on Ft. Myers Beach. It is one of only a few campgrounds in FL that is right on the beach. It is crowded, but yes, it is TD friendly. We were surrounded by big rigs, but we were the hit of the campground. If you want more details, PM me and I'll fill you in.

A reason for two shelters: We thought two shelters might be over-kill, but went ahead and bought both the Northern Breeze and the Alcove just to have maximum flexibility. We've found each to be very useful and we're glad to have both. One camp site was too small to put up the NB, but the...

We've had our 560 for only a few weeks. We're on an extended shake-down cruise in FL, where the weather has been great, so we don't have a lot of experience with the furnace. We had a couple of nights in northern FL that were cold and rainy. The furnace was very nice to have; just a few minutes...

Sue, We named our trailer Stella because our car's name is Luna! :D I don't know where this naming our vehicles thing came from but it doesn't feel right if she doesn't have a name. Ani

Yes! And the crock pot was great, too! Happy trails - Ani

We took delivery of our 560, which we named Stella, a little over a week ago. We are now in FL and having a wonderful time. Getting here was quite an ordeal. Yes, we were stuck in the snow and ice storm that paralyzed Atlanta. We spent 2 nights in a hotel, and as consolation we made some great...

We're shopping for a collapsible portable toilet that fits easily in one of the storage compartments. We saw a couple at Cabelas, but weren't sure which one would store most easily. Any recommendations?
