Hi Rick, Not yet... but I can imagine it will happen - lots of trailers have been pulled over the years with rear wheel drive where the tongue weight adds some traction... but with front wheel only ...there will be uphills in mud or snow.. that might require me to chain up - where the AWD...

Yep - beautiful spot. The only thing better would have been to camp and spend a couple days up there.. but that would have been one of those 1/2 inch thermorest matteresses and my back would have said - No thanks....

This was the goal at the end... But Cary = I don't need polished fenders - but I'm glad you made them stainless...!!!!!

Offically (in the manual).... Jetta with Gas engine and Manual - good for 2000 Jetta with Diesel and Manual or Jetta with Gas and automatic is 1000 pounds. My "experience" - no problem with around 1400-1500 pounds. European specs for this are around 1650 pounds.... Dave K

Hi Betsey, No need to polish, I'll leave that for the aluminum... besides - its kind of a badge of experience ;^) Dave K

It was great to read how early Cary decided on the Stainless Steel fenders (#0001). Having only owned my CI for two months - I just did a camp out.. 23 miles down a gravel road and found out just how smart a decision that was and how unsatisfied I would be if I had painted fenders - like most...

Nicks in the stainless fenders from a 50 mile gravel road trip.

Rick, Congratulations... I went through a similar process, without the rental... the forum is huge in making a decision. The entire process will be painless - the CI folks are incredible and the camping experience a blast. Went camping this weekend with two other couples - they had...

Hi Rick, Don't know exactly, but we haven't put much in it... few plates, pots, some food... pretty lightly loaded. Just did another trip which included 50+ miles on gravel roads in the mountains.. and still was getting 33 mph. Dave K

Inn42 - Yep as a fellow 2012 vintage Camp Inn Camper... its the attention to detail that gets everyone who looks at this camper.... Cary called them "Looky Lou's" and they are absolutely out there..but always awesome comments. How long was your exit interview with Cary... I swear that he...

Hi Sue, It was catch and release... so it was lemon and butter on the chicken.... darn.

Thanks Jenn!!! Whidbey is awesome ---- we are looking at something in the north cascades....but might end up on Whidbey or Anacortes. I remember in Boy Scouts (as a leader) - the hardest thing was picking a spot as there are so many hikes, camp spots....

Linda and I are itching to get out and about after being home for a week now... Dave K

Bear (per your post on 7/19) I have to tell you that your name came up several times while Linda and I were getting the "Introduction" for #524... Cary said several times that your feedback has helped improve the Camp Inn TD. Dave K

Ken, Yep - it was an interesting spot - first we had to desend into the canyon on a windy dirt road with a drop off at the edge of the road... then when we got there - it wasn't obvious it was a camp area.. but there were rest rooms.. but only one fire ring and table... so we went for it...

Hey Frank.... it was great - just as you predicted!!! Didn't need the furnace though.... ;^)) See the other posts.

OK - there has been lots of discussion regarding the VW Jetta Sportwagen, its towing capacity and mileage. I purchased a Jetta TDI 6 speed manual... Note: the diesel automatic can not tow anything and is specifically called out in the manual as voiding the warranty. Results after 4000...
