    Wheel Bearing Maintenance Based On Time (or Mileage)

    I'm curious as to what the general Camp Inn owning public does for wheel bearing maintenance? And based on time or mileage or something else. A bit of this post is a re-run for me, but in short, purchased a 2014 550 back in March 2020. It was generally well cared for as best I can tell, but...

    short 7-pin cable extender I'm using the same 7-pin style trailer cable that no doubt all of you are to provide electricity, turn signals, etc to my Camp Inn 550 from my Scout 800A tow vehicle.

    Raw Plywood On The Underside Of My 550

    I just purchased a (used but new to me) 550, and have had it home for less than 24 hours. Meant to spend the day cleaning on it, but on and off rain put an end to that. As the day progresses, (luck me), I've had heavy storm and possible hail warnings on my TV about every 20 minutes. I was...

    550 / 560 [tools] Robertson/square Head Screws On My 550

    So I just picked up my (used but new to me) 550 yesterday. I'm looking at the fasteners used by the factory on some of the external items. If I weren't an old car/truck nut, but as I am, old, nasty, rusty and/or oxidized fasteners are something I'm continually looking at/for. Back on...
