    rei alcove

    Al and Cathy - are you using bungie cords for roof rafters on the alcove - you need to do that to keep the rain for collecting - and they need to be taught! Also - If you are on a Pad - bungie cord the alcove frame directly to the stainless fenders - that works great and if you are in a Real...

    Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen TDI

    Hi Quinny, All I know is that the Sportwagen Manual says Diesel + Automatic... do not tow. Its OK with the gas + automatic... so it must be a different transmission. As I have previously posted the TDI pulls the CampInn like a dream.. curvy mountain roads - no problem. Dave K

    Galley Windscreens Galley Windscreens

    Just had an experience with this... at Dinosaur National Monument... turned the TD around and faced the tongue into the wind (and it was windy - 20+) - then set things up including the wind screens and we were able to make a nice marinara sauce with a simmer...... So = yes they help... but...

    Itinerary 2014 Nw Camp-inn Round Up

    Frank, I seem to remember that if you squeeze through the tough spots = you come out on the surface and and hike back down to the entrance ... but the squeeze part is pretty tight...... any you have to climb up a bit before the squeeze... but this is 15 year old memory speaking Dave K

    Newbie Greetings From Michigan !

    Welcome Tom, Well I'm not claustrophobic but having slept many a night in a two man backpacking tent, the Camp-Inn is a palace. Plenty of room to roll and shift.. no sleeping bag to bind. Warm as toast once you close the doors but with ample fresh air with the ceiling fan and door windows...

    Rei Alcove Shelter - On Sale

    Have the side walls and use them in stormy weather - they work great with the skys open and you can even set up a small table and eat in the galley when there is bad weather. Also use them for privacy when taking a sponge bath... Another Alcove Tip is to not only get the bungie cords for...

    NW 2014

    Pat, Here is a crazy thought... if you go from Salt Creek - you could take a ferry to Victoria BC and visit Buchart Gardens near Sidney - then take the Ferry from Syndey back to Anacortes and Deception Pass. You could even stop in Friday Harbor San Juan Island on the way back for a short...

    LEDs for Interior/Galley Lights?

    M&D, No TV or 12v refrig - just lights and water pump... and no issues... we never had electric plug in at any of the sites and no car charging. Having had a boat in the past - it was something I worried about.... but didn't need to... and now with the 7 prong plug wired correctly - it just...

    Coffee Packs

    Hey Frank, I have a very similar insulated french press... so its great for camping it keeps the coffee hot. I always pre-heat the french press with boiling water (keeps the coffee hotter longer) - pour that water out - then add the ground coffee (5 slightly heaping tablespoons) and add the...

    LEDs for Interior/Galley Lights?

    I don't have an answer for the LEDs but just a comment that I have gone 8 full days without recharging the battery (Car wiring was wrong so the trailer wasn't charging) and the Xenon lights didn't wear the battery down far enough to matter. I do have the battery upgrade. So - LEDs would be...

    Re: Aluminum and your storage cover! Kelly - just having fun. Hey I remember my first run in with a group of teardroppers in Carnation Washington and as I was looking, one of the TDs was marvelously polished.. it was impressive and attached to a 1948 something... a home built but...
