    SOLD 2012 560 Ultra Suv For Sale

    Another case of cabin fever and I decided to try an overnite up in the mountains. First thought was to try the town of Lyons. They have a nice park and it would have been fun to wander around in town this morning. But the park was locked up tight. So fall back was to head up into Rocky...

    So lessons learned from my first couple of trips. One of those woulda, coulda, shoulda moments. As I was doing my dreaming after ordering my 560 last year and reading all of the posts I read about the Rock Tamer mud flaps. Had them on my list of things I should buy but they slipped my mind...

    End caps on the table legs and tent poles

    I found that I had lost one of the rubber coverings on my rear table leg. It had fallen off in my garage at home. I had the same issue happen with the side tent poles when I removed them from pockets on tear down. The black rubber covering stayed in the pocket. So I did a quick fix. There...

    iPad hookup to TV

    So just got done watching my first movie from the iPad. Easy hook up. HDMI cable to the HDMI iPad adapter and you are off and running. Even better when the movie is done you can use the TV as an external monitor.

    Down the long dusty road - How to keep dust out

    Lots of dirt roads out here in back country Colorado. Other than I now have a dust ball for a 560 how do I keep the dust out of the inside. Found fine dust on the ledges and when I tapped the cover by the heater vents got a puff of dust. Those that hit back roads or did the Alaska road trip...

    TV Antenna

    I noticed in one of the photos that someone is using the Philips HDTV antenna. This is the one that is a slim grey unit, model SDV2940/27. My question has to do with the power inserter module. It comes with an AD/DC unit. The power adapter I have says 6V out as does the input on the...

    Laying out the welcome mat

    I have seen that a number of folks roll out the welcome mat/carpet behind their CI. Lots of variety of styles in the photos but for those who do this can you answer a couple of questions? What are you using? How and where do you store it while traveling?
