    Trip #2

    It will not be unusual to encounter snow flurries in the northern Rockies in early June. However, a very pretty time of year with the peaks still showing lots of snow cover and wild flowers in bloom at lower elevations. The water falls will be most spectacular in June with the rivers and creeks...

    Request from Cary: Car-to-Camp-Inn wiring

    I have a Toyota FJ Cruiser, and when the key is in lock (vehicle turned off so key can be extracted) there is no voltage / current to any of the 12 volt plugs. So when I had the seven pin connector wired (to include electric brakes and charging current to the trailer), these two wires come...

    My Why we chose Camp Inn made Cool Tears Mag

    Jay n Valerie I too enjoyed the magazine article. It truly speaks to the process of acquiring a quality built trailer like Camp Inn. I ordered mine the Monday after Thanksgiving 2014, with a first half July delivery. In fact, your video was a huge influence on my decision to order the Camp...

    Happy Trails. Be sure to keep a travel log. As you read the past journeys it entices you to plan and take new ones.

    SOLD Like New 2012 Raindrop Ultra 560 For Sale

    Gym, After struggling with my mind, I have decided to stay the course and purchase my Model 560 new from the Camp Inn family. The second half of March I drove up to Wisconsin and toured the facility. Also, I took them the components to the stereo and battery monitor to install in the one I...

    SOLD Like New 2012 Raindrop Ultra 560 For Sale

    Gym, Your offer has me interested. I have one on order with a mid-July delivery from Camp Inn, but your 560 has everything on my order list except a stereo and handicap accessibility. I don't need the latter, but thought it would ease my movement inside the cabin to have something to hang...

    Update We Have Our Teardrop!

    Congrats Diane Michael. I remember reading that you could spend a night at the Necedah facility and was thinking to exercise that option when I pick mine up. That way I can soak up all the orientation and then prep the trailer with personal items during the long summer daylight hours after...

    EXPIRED Side Tent

    Jay n Valerie, thanks for discovering and sharing this change tent by Lightspeed. I ordered one due to the speed and simplicity of set up. I don't plan to perform the sewing modification. It will be set up about a open door length away (3 to 4 feet) from the trailer. I can get up and walk from...

    Hello

    I visited the Mother Ship on March 18th, which was the only day that week Cary didn't have clients picking up their new trailer. It was my first time to see either a 550 or 560 in the flesh. When I placed my purchase order the week of Thanksgiving 2014 was based entirely on photos...

    Yep, another blogger

    Okay Frank, You may be soon running with the big boys, but I know when you see us pulling our tiny trailers, you will mist up and a little "teardrop" will fall from your eye.

    volt meter readings

    How long is the wiring from the solar panel to the volt meter, and what gauge wire is being used? Long run, small gauge (high number) wire results in significant voltage drop. Do you have the solar option from Camp Inn or are you using a panel system complete with their charge controller...

    SOLD 2008 550 Ultra # 249

    Re: 4-Sale 2008 550 Ultra # 249 I realize the one constant in life is change. Your knowledge and experience have been invaluable. It has helped me understand a lot about the camping advantages of the teardrop style. Your precise down-to-earth way of explaining what works and doesn't work, and...

    Making the bed

    I purchased these Bed Bands to use for the sheets and blanket at the foot end of the bed. I cannot report how they work yet. You'll have to wait until mid-July when I pick my Camp-Inn up. I'll let you know shortly after.

    Almost getting arrested for "breaking in"

    Nice to see law enforcement is out to protect Snugglebug from a food break-in. Did you have any donuts in the galley to reward them? Too bad there isn't a video of the surprise on your face. :) I'm betting your wife will tell that story a few times around the 4th of July barbeque.

    Running an O Grill via LP Gas Accessory Outlet

    Randy, Having two regulators between the source and user is not a problem. A regulator reduces the pressure of fuel in the line downstream of the regulator to a set pressure. A regulator isn't designed as a flow control device, just pressure control. If the regulator next to the source tank...

    Fridge / Cooler Yeti Coolers!

    Thanks fpoole I remember you saying a few months back that the 35 fit. Where I was going with the conversation was the Yeti 35 (21" L x 15.5" H x 16" D) means the full potential of the galley space is not used. The Coleman 54 Quart is (24-1/4" L x 16-3/4" H x 16-3/4" D). The Yeti 45...

    Fridge / Cooler Yeti Coolers!

    Cary, this is great news. :cool: I've come full circle and want a Coleman that fits in the kitchen galley, and a Yeti for longer term storage. Too bad Yeti doesn't make a model the same exterior dimensions as the Coleman. If they did it would have the same capacity as their current model 45...
