    Tires - When To Replace

    This is a seven year blowout. Some trailer tire sites recommend 5 years. The spare came in handy. I recommend making sure you have a long handle lug nut wrench (I did). Thirty minute roadside change and then purchased two new tires.

    Update Seeking Tips About Camping With A Dog

    My solution was to get a Corgi. He walks around inside the CI including the foot area. He sleeps on the sofa and the legs don’t hangover. He has a different personality when camping, for the better.

    Auto Battery Load Disconnect

    My 7 year old Dometic has a built in cutoff with three low voltage settings. I do have other devices where this might be useful.

    Victron Smartshunt Bluetooth Battery Monitor

    I have tried several different configurations. The first used a Gentent(pictured with the aux fuel tank), the second was a tongue mount with a genbox, my current is set up to mount the genbox on a Yakima swing out mount. The tongue mount was semipermanent but it really was awkward to lift the...

    Victron Smartshunt Bluetooth Battery Monitor

    I have used a Honda eu2000 and also an eu2200 companion. The eu 2200 starts the campinn ac better. It also has bluetooth so you can monitor load and shut it down while inside the trailer. The internal tank lasts overnight. I usually take a remote tank that connects using the generator filler...

    Victron Smartshunt Bluetooth Battery Monitor

    This is a nice unit. I installed one a few months ago and based on the data I’ve gotten I am converting all my lighting to LED. One halogen bulb uses more power than the vent fan on high. It also helps when deciding to run the Dometic or carry ice or set up the solar panel.

    Ham Radio

    I have a Garmin 750i (GPS, camera, Inreach - 2 way texting/and tracking) and have been pleased with it. It’s a “brick” though.

    Tongue Jack Upgrade - Maybe

    I originally used angle iron ubolts on the opposite side and just wanted a plate over the old holes. It took me a few minutes to wonder about the size of the pivot hole in the ARK. Your method does look good.

    Tongue Jack Upgrade - Maybe

    In the garage the wheel pivots easier. I have one on my equipment trailer that I use for tree farm work. It makes it a lot easier to move on soil. It is a larger model with larger wheels. I had the feeling that the trailer would roll away from me. I think that I’ll tether (lightly) the...

    Tongue Jack Upgrade - Maybe

    Well, we are a few hours out of sync. I found that if the mounting plate on the ARC jack is removed it is a direct replacement on the existing mounting plate from Campinn. The Campinn jack can be removed by the snap ring, the ARC jack, sans the mounting plate, can be slipped on and the snap...

    New awning option for Camp-Inn

    There is a additional(optional) triangle panel that attaches with velcro to “square” the back over the galley.

    Tongue Jack Upgrade - Maybe

    I have looked at the non-rachet drive model. The ability to move over a gravel campground spot is my desire. Nice to see that two bolt holes are aligned. Perhaps angle iron u-bolts on the forward end (they are triangular). I look forward to your “final” solution.

    New awning option for Camp-Inn

    I just had this awning installed and it is a really great addition. Craig and Cary (and their employees) made sure that it fit and adjusted it to fit my standard garage door yet accommodate my height. Craig walked me through the deployment and stowage twice and offered more practice if I wanted...
