I toyed with rotating the side table. I had already bolted the camper brackets to the side wall to aide in using the “dog” bracket. The problem with a do it yourself rotation of the campinn side table is having brackets on the side table that will not pull out. I would guess the brackets on the...

I agree with you. I drive an EV 1000 miles per month and use an ICE for towing and long trips. The EV is a pleasure to drive.

I treat my outdoor clothes by soaking in permethrin, then air drying. It works great for anything that crawls on your clothes. The yellow flies only go for bare skin and bite as soon as they land, following a few circles around the target. When driving into the woods for trail work the tellow...

I live in Northwest Florida and have found three things that mostly work on yellow flies: 1) Bug Balls- a black object covered in sticky spray that wobbles. Good for a small area. 2) Deer fly strips that stick on the back of a cap. It traps the deer flies that orbit around your head, kind of a...

There is a reason a “crescent wrench” is nicknamed a “monkey wrench”.

Does Campinn have a tiny camper Bluenose Certificate?

Well it is .3 inches too wide. That’s what I get for believing the measurement on Amazon for a steel belted Coleman. Of course I am a lifelong practitioner of measure once, cut twice.

A Yeti stainless steel cooler that seems to be a close fit to the Coleman. It sells for a mere $800!

I put a six inch hose extension on the used water side. At camp it helps drain into a collapsable water tank that I can then pour from. I used to drip a lot but laws have gotten stricter for grey water (they can’t tell the difference between sewage and rinse water) . The National Park Service...

I use the larger Kelty poles. I also replaced the top pole with a trimmed to fit bicycle flag pole. For hard pavement I use a pvc frame with a boat mat bottom and two water bladders. I have had leaks in the bladders that flooded the side tent. Because of the importance of the wife factor I made...

What does it list for a Mocking Bird?

Every Thursday we meet at 8:00 for trail work at the North parking lot at Deaton Bridge. Great way to sweat a bit.

I always got a kick out of seeing boy scouts eat dehydrated food and chase it with a pint of water.

I am somewhat sure the aux battery was fully connected (3kwh) to give 50-60 hours of run. The lows were upper 40’s and highs mid 70’s.

I have a Victron battery meter that indicates draw. HOWEVER: I must make a correction. I was just removing the battery system power supply and the 2kwh aux battery was disonnected from the control unit 975wh main unit. I’m pretty sure it was connected when I noted the hours remaining, but I’m...

I just returned from a trip where I used the Dometic and a 3kwh 24V lithium iron phosphate battery. The Dometic, set at 27f, pulled about 42 watts. The ice blocks helped take some stress off the freezer. The 24v system kept the output voltage above the Dometic cutoff. Additional power loads were...

Try “LightDims”. I stick them on all the little LEDS. Some of them just dim, others blackout.

I had been looking for a way to secure high value items and to comply with state laws in some places. I added this V-line steel box between the lower cabinets. It is almost a perfect fit. It has a push button lock and a slide out drawer. The whole box can be removed from the mount with two easy...

I can’t find the comment where it was suggested that the Dometic be used as a freezer for ice packs and the ice packs are then rotated into a cooler (thanks to whom ever suggested this). I’ve been using the Dometic in this manner for a week now. Each day I change the ice pack ( four pounder) in...
