    550 / 560 Camp Inn ... No Kitchen?

    We have the large, the most common size, and -- yes -- it weighs several hundred pounds. I would not consider it portable in any way. We're looking to add the new MiniMax (hope I got that name right) to our outdoor kitchen line-up. I can't find its weight online, but it's 19" tall and comes...

    What made you choose a campinn?

    We are looking at buying a teardrop for several reasons: - We're about to be empty nesters, and we want to be able to camp without the tent. We anticipate lengthy road trips and this seems like the easiest way to go. - We definitely don't want something large and expensive, nor do we...

    Fires

    Unfortunately, we've seen this too. I can't believe adults are stupid enough to endanger not only themselves but other people and a campground! On one memorable camping trip, it seemed that the responsible people who put out their fire were in the minority! When I see this, I report it to...

    Treats to Try

    Have you seen those super-big sized marshmallows? They're like the size of three regular sized marshmallows, and they'd be IDEAL for this recipe.

    Sweaters for pots and pans.

    Super cool idea!

    550 / 560 Camp Inn ... No Kitchen?

    No, I didn't call the company yet -- and reading your question, I wonder why that didn't occur to me! I'm glad to hear, however, that this type of personalization is possible. Galley arm -- I had to google a picture to be sure of just where it is located. I hadn't considered this thing's...

    550 / 560 Camp Inn ... No Kitchen?

    We've wanted a teardrop for some time now, and we are definitely interested in the Camp Inn ... Except for one thing: I don't like the kitchen. I know our habits and how we'd prefer to cook, and the Camp Inn kitchen just isn't it. I know, I know, most of you love them, but I know myself...

    Yellowstone National Park

    I'll add one thing to that very detailed and practical write up: do not enter Yellowstone without a full tank of gas. They have gas stations,but the price is outrageous inside the park, and they aren't always open. The park is much larger than you'd think, and you will need the gas.

    How quickly can you make camp with your teardrop?

    Hilditch, I assume you keep the windows open (inside the garage) to keep the trailer from getting musty? Do you mean cracked or wide open? No trouble with dampness?

    Back to Eastern WA

    One of the stupidest things I've ever done in my life was to carry my mom's car keys in my back pocket (big long keychain in the pocket, keys hanging out) while I went into a pit latrine. Yes, I dropped them in. Yes, for all I know, they're still there. We were on a scout camping...

    Wind Cave

    I've also visited Wind Cave, and I'll second Mick-n-Sarah's endorsement. As they said, it IS busy (we were there in July), so go straight to the Ranger's desk and reserve your tickets. THEN poke around the museum and gift shop. I want to say we had to wait about an hour and a half...

    You tube video on the 560 Ultra

    Another big thumb's up for the video! I enjoyed it so much that I watched it twice. I also agree with Jenn: I'd like to see more. Stocking the galley, making the bed -- good ideas! Since my kids are watching the Academy Awards tonight, I hereby nominate you for the CAMP INN ACADEMY AWARD.

    Driving To The North Rim Of The Grand Canyon

    Backing up what LeoJan said about chilly weather at night: We were at the North Rim over July 4, and it was not warm in the evenings. Every evening people gather at the North Rim Lodge to watch the sunset, and the staff builds a HUGE fire (in a fireplace I could stand in) and serves drinks...

    Need input on planning a trip

    No particular help in planning this particular trip -- I don't know this part of the country -- but isn't planning trips great? I think weighing the possibilities, choosing the route, picking between sites to visit is wonderful fun. Mick-and-Sarah, We in the South know how to deal with...

    Itinerary Winter Camping In Mi

    There's a Hell in Grand Cayman. Personally, I was surprised to learn that Hell's full of free-range chickens and iguanas, and it has three buildings: A post office, Hell's Convenience Store #1 and Hell's Convenience Store #2, which are located in sort of a duplex-type building and actually...

    Another ski weekend in the 560

    I love the picture of your Camp Inn between the two big campers! Skiing isn't a "thing" here in our area, so I'm interested in the picture of the campers lined up -- it looks like lots of people were there. Do people just camp in the parking lot? I do have one tip for cold-weather...

    Driving To The North Rim Of The Grand Canyon

    We drove that road two years ago. My husband was driving, but I remember nothing unusual about the road. It was a beautiful drive, and we absolutely LOVED the North Rim. We were there in July, and the weather was dry.

    Furnace Poll: Furnace Or Not???

    Editorial, color commentary, not meant to offend those not from the South: I come from a long line of Southerners. I grew up on the family homestead, which has been in my family longer than America has been America, and hot humid weather is bred in our bones. If you look at the old houses...

    SOLD Brand New 560 Ultra For Sale

    Re: Brand new 560 Ultra for sale LadyMc has the right of it: Buying a "full package" will be good for re-sale, but I never consider re-sale when I buy something. I want exactly what I want, and I'm not willing to put up with other stuff just in case I one day want to sell the item. I am...
