I think that some of the group sites have porta-pots but for the most part the answer is no. A decent shovel is definitely handy to have. I was out there again a week and a half ago and had a great time.

I just tried again to "upload a file" (ie a pic). It still doesn't work for me. However, I've been able to open 2 windows and drag and drop pics from my pictures folder into a message and have it upload.

I recently added a new piece of gear that so far (2 trips) is working very well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KQ309BU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I like that I can mount it on a tripod and direct the light in pretty much any direction. I typically run paracord...

Hi Evan, It's actually from my laptop. I haven't been able to use the "upload file" function but was just able to get some pics to upload by dragging them from my photos folder and dropping into the message. It's a bit of a work around but works ok. I hope you're doing well in Connecticut! Ben

By dragging pics into the page, I think I can post some photos.

I thought it would be fun with this thread to post camping log entries. Unfortunately my computer system isn't playing well with the forum and I can't post pics. Anyhow here is the latest entry: Green Ridge State Forest March 23-24, 2019 Nights camped: 1 Total Nights Camped: 58 Miles driven...

Has anyone else had trouble uploading jpegs? I select a photo and see a couple of vertical bars (looks like it's uploading) then nothing happens. I tried a different web browser and same problems. Thanks.

Hi Jim, I had planned to camp this weekend starting today but this Nor'Easter has 30+mph winds and temps in the high 20s this evening where I had planned to go (Green Ridge State Forest). I may still try to go tomorrow for a one nighter as it is supposed to be sunny and the winds will be dying...

Cunningham Falls State Park March 16-17 Nights camped: 1 Total Nights Camped: 57 Miles driven: 140 miles Total Miles: 7979 With my wife out of town and and son back in California for college (daughter moved out 4 1/2 years ago) it was just me and Bailey (the dog) this weekend. I was tired from...

Sounds like a fun agenda between Midwest, New England and Quebec. If you head up to Maine, I'd recommend Mount Desert Campground. My wife and I went up last summer and camped for a week. It is a private campground on the water but seemed much nicer than the ones in the national park. We...

There is a fairly recent thread reviewing the honda pilot as a tow vehicle. The owners were pleased with it: Honda Pilot Tow Vehicle You might also consider the Subaru Ascent if you want like Subarus. I am happy with mine. It tows so much better than my wife's 2012 4 cylinder outback. BTW...

That is a sad story! There is something to be said for solo camping and traveling though if life circumstances permit it.

There was a thread a while back in which Cary mentioned a unit that had done this and it worked well. I'll post below. Also there are some pics in a thread of a 560 for sale a few months back that had this done. I'll link that one too. Alcan Cover - Replace Alcan Cover With Bedliner Paint...

It's a company/website that allows individual land owners to make their property available for camping - kind of like VRBO or AirB&B but tailored for camping. There are lots of small farms but also more rural places. I've yet to book a place. Here's a link: Hipcamp | Camping on Private Land...

I hope not to hi-jack this tread but you caught my attention with the HipCamp recommendation. I've looked a lot at HipCamp but never booked a stay with them. I'd love to hear your experiences with them. (Maybe a separate thread would be better?)

Looking at Weatherunderground temperature maps yesterday, Big Bend was in the high 80s. As I'm sure you know, the line of demarcation between warm southern air and cold northern air is constantly moving. A polar vortex can push all the way into Mexico but most of the time you'll be ok...

Apparently the coating doesn't transfer much heat at least according to a review done of the Oregon Trailer out at the Overland Expo last year. I think that you could choose other colors if you wanted perhaps even white. I've got a tough sell though with my wife so it probably won't happen for me.

Since purchasing my 550 Ultra in August 2017, I've spent a lot of time thinking about (but much less time doing anything about) keeping the aluminum skin looking decent. It's really hard to not touch the outside or get any water drops off before they dry. I don't want to spend hours polishing...

Unfortunately many owners have had problems occur after getting the bearings greased just as a preventive step. I'm not real mechanical so I'm happy to be corrected if what I say isn't quite accurate but my understanding is that the torque has to be set very precisely and this type of bearing...
