    Washington State Ferry Fee

    My wife and I had a great day today. It started with a visit to the Spring Wine Festivle in Anacortes, WA. Good wine, good food, great weather. While we were in Anacortes we decided to head over to the ferry terminal to research a trip to Friday Harbor with our new CI 560. Here is where...

    NW 2014

    Nice campground, but Baker Lake is closer and equally as nice. Plus there are more hiking trails and a small general nearby.

    Rhino Lining

    I was thinking of doing the same thing. Glad someone asked this question. Read the reviews on the "liner" you go with first. If memory serves the Line X brand works better. I can't verify the reviews, I have never used a spray on liner.

    Traveling with Pets

    We purchased our 560 because of our dogs. We were tired of going on vacations, even long weekends, without them. Our boys go everywhere with us. After a short trip to Las Vegas without them we decided that it would be our last. Yes taking them will limit you in certain aspects i.e. where...

    That looks as though it will work, we will plan our return trip to have us in Mossyrock. How would that be for timing, pick up the trailer and make it to the gathering right on time. As of now, if it is going to be memorial weekend, count us in. Joe and Alex

    Roof Rack Roof Rack

    I have searched and searched this forum, I have found only two references to the CI roof rack option. One of these posts was mainly in regard to using the roof to carry bikes. When I sent out my original quote request to Cary I had the roof rack on it, later I had him remove it due to a few...

    Thanks to all, and I am sure that my wife and I will be able to make the trek to the PNW CICO. We have already begun to purchase the little neccesities for the maiden voyage. It will be a good trip to determine what else we are going to need. P.S. Michaelo, when do you pick yours up? BTW...

    For those looking for a portable propane fire pit, check out this link. It is a comparison chart between 11 different manufactures. Good info in one place, answers basic questions such as BTU output. Unfortunately no dimensions are given. http://www.campfirecompare.com/Comparison_Chart.html

    TV/DVD Tv/dvd Combo....revisted....again

    Good suggestion, I will try that. I am curious, what is the distance from the seated position in the 560 to your TV? My distance of 4 foot was a guess, I am sure I am off one way or the other.

    TV/DVD Tv/dvd Combo....revisted....again

    I just talked to Cary and I am going to order a 560 within the week. I know I have a lot of time before production begins on my trailer, but I have a question on one option that remains unanswered. I have read the posts about people foregoing the TV/DVD option, and instead going with a...

    To explain the two previous posts: Dave and Linda were gracious enough to invite us to their campsite this past weekend, they were camped just a short drive from my house. My wife and I had the oppurtunity not only to see a CI 550 in person, but to see it set up and being used in camp. If...
