    HELP - I'm Walberizing Today

    When we got to Necedah to pick up Dewey our Mini was covered in dried salt. So glad we waxed our trailer before hatching her, she gleamed and more importantly was protected for our months long trip home. Just a word for the wise, bare aluminum acts a lot like oxidized paint when it comes to...

    Adventures of the Love Shack

    Love your trailers name, are you B52 fans? You're lucky to get aerial footage of your campground, Washington state just banned all private drone flights in state parks, I can only guess that other states will follow suit. Michael

    The "Dew Drop Inn" Chronicles

    Yeah, I've heard more than a few people complain about the Camp-Inn poles, rusting steel, weak cams that fail and allow the tent to sag. The Kelty poles are a hundred bucks for 2 so I can kinda understand why CI doesn't go with them, I mean you'd have to price the side tent at 400 bucks! You can...

    The "Dew Drop Inn" Chronicles

    Dometic insulated cover

    We like our cover, seems to help with extra insulation, especially when you don't have a canopy up and the fridge is in full sun. We bought ours at American RV for 40 something. Michael
