Has anyone changed a tire on their "Drops"? We were on somewhat uneven ground yesterday and I was using the scissor jacks to level and stabilize. This required more than the usual "extension" on one side so I put some leveling blocks under the one side and leveled everything out. What...

Every year in July the Great Northern Arts Festival is held in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. It lasts for two weeks. It is said that the people of northern Canada and Alaska work all winter long on their various arts and crafts and then bring them to the festival to display and sell...

Finally "retired" again. Have been away from all this, got called from the company I retired from and went back for 5 months as a Contractor. Finally called a halt at the end of March and spent the first week of April in Joshua Tree NP with our Raindrop and our daughter and grandchildren...

We were camping in the Carpinteria Beach State Park (about 10 miles south of Santa Barbara, California) two weeks ago and, as always, our shiny new 560 received a lot of attention. This park is right on the beach so it is a major attraction for camping families and the campground was full by...

There is a discussion below on which Apps people are using and I suggested a look at AllStays Camp & RV App but you don't want to have to find a WiFi hotspot if "on the road" to use it to it's full capability. We have Verizon coverage cell phones and before picking up our trailer in September I...

Jim & Sue commented in their journal of picking up Spamalot about signing the Wall Of Fame. We stayed a week in Kansas City before picking up our new trailer in September and had some of the local Boulevard brewery "Single Wide" IPA. Couldn't resist adding the six-pack image to our posting on...

While waiting for our new CI 560 to be completed we stayed with family in Kansas City. One day Mary Anne and I went to the WWI museum there and found it to be an excellent museum with the entire sequence of the "Great War" very well laid out (there was nothing "Great" about it of couse)...

On our return trip home to California, after picking up our CI, we had not planned ahead and ended up north of Seattle (Everett) late in the afternoon. We were heading to the coast of Oregon on our way to California so we were coming down I-5 intending to make our way over towards Astoria the...

You will see below a short saga of trying to find a place to mount an outside temperature gauge. It closes with the fact that it was raining and in the mid-30s when we left in the morning. We had a small bag of garbage to dump and, because it was raining, and damn near freezing, we drove by...

While on the road home with Nepenthe we stopped at a Walmart in South Dakota to pick up a couple of things including a small clock. Found what we wanted but right next to the clocks was this little Inside/Outside temperature monitor. It is quite small and has a little "sensor box" that you...

After almost two years of research and comparison shopping we finally picked up our shiny new 560 Ultra (#460) last Thursday, 9/8/11. Got to Necedah at 10:00 and finally drove out at 4:30. Cary's checkout was perfect. Found a couple of small things which were corrected immediately. Castle...

Evan, and anyone else with an iPad, Haven't figured out how to post photos from my iPad to this forum. I am fine from a PC but there doesn't seem to be a way to access my FTP link. I looked through the various forum postings but did not find anything on this particular subject. It may be...

Evan showed us a camera SD card with a built in WiFi that transferred his photos automatically from his camera to his iPad. Well I finally got an iPad and wanted to look at all the options and found another one that may be worth considering. It is called the iPad Camera Connection Kit and it...

We are slowly wending and winding our way from Carlsbad, Ca. to Necedah, Wi. to pick up our new 560. I say "slowly" for two reasons, we are visiting family on the way but primarily because our new love won't be ready until the end of August. Because we are not in a hurry (we wish we were of...

What trailer (ideally Teardrops) related magazines do the members of this forum read regularly? So many are "devoted" to motorhomes and large trailers, are there any that deal primarily with "tiny trailers" and teardrops in particular? I searched the archives but didn't find anything nor did...

Got an email from Craig on Sunday night with a link to photos of our new 560 Ultra being moved into the shop and the actual build being started. Our build number is #460 so that others can gauge from this where their trailers are in the queue. Cary says "for sure" the first week of September...

Perhaps this doesn't belong here but the band Coldplay just released a new album called "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall". I take that to mean there is SO much more than just what you see, especially at first. I have to wonder though, what does that make the Raindrop? Jim

I searched these "Forums" extensively and could not find any "technical" discussions about e-mail while on the road. Here is my issue: I have cable access at home (roadrunner.com) through Time-Warner. While traveling in the past, and currently for that matter, we access the Roadrunner web...

Hello everyone, If we may introduce ourselves this is Jim & Mary Anne here after having finally come to a decision and taking that first big step. We completed the ordering process for our new 560 Ultra last week. Initial estimates are that we will make our way from California (north of San...
