Boba Fett Travel map. Almost at 50 nights.

We sighted a Camp Inn 550 in Round Top, TX this past Sunday (April 30) at about 11:40am. We were about to eat at Royer's for lunch and saw you roll through town. It looked like Tow Vehicle was a Ford pickup. Who was this? Where were you going? Too bad we were not close enough to flag you...

We picked up our 560 in April of 2016. We now have solar. A friend here in Houston helped me tremendously as he is a electrical engineer and solar expert. We ended up with 120 watt panel, 24 volt polycrystalline commercial grade panel. It's connected to a Morning Star SunSaver MPPT controller...

This past weekend we camped at Bastrop State Park in Bastrop, TX. Camp site was great the bathrooms were 5-Star, very new, clean, with heat and AC. We enjoyed great weather and much better than two weeks ago when we experienced 20 degree temps at Oak Thicket Park. We ate well, we had chicken...

Did you know late model Ford Pickups will track your trailer mileage? It automatically acknowledges your trailer when connected via the 7-pin round connector. It's in the Truck Applications in the dash options. You can even name your trailer!!!!

This weekend we camped at Oak Thicket Park in Fayetteville, TX. It turned out to be one of the coldest weekends ever. Daytime temps were in the high 30's and nighttime was a frigid 20. We had a great time as we brought warm clothes and had the ceramic heater and electric blanket. After the...

Here's an update, we have booked our campsite. For those planning on going to the 2nd Annual Texas Teardrop Roundup, you may want to book early. Last year some had issues securing a campsite due to popularity of the season. Just below is what we reserved. Campsites are first come, first...

We live in Houston and don't worry about freezing temps and water freezing in the water lines, tank and pump of our Teardrop. But someday we will be traveling and exploring in colder climes. What do folks do that camp in freezing temps??? How do you prepare, what are some tricks, what is the...

This Labor Day Weekend we camped at Goliad State Park. The park was nice, trailer sites had pull through driveways and electric and water worked as advertised. There is plenty of History for those interested. We visited the old mission on the Park property, called the Mission Espiritu de Santo...

Are there any amateur radio operators (hams) in our Camp-Inn community? I recently became licensed and I'm planning on setting up my mobile rig for use with our 560. I would be interested to know if anyone else has done the same. We are camping this Labor Day weekend and hope to make some...

Happy 4th of July and Independence Weekend!!! Thank you to all of those who have served and allowed the rest of us to enjoy our freedom and way of life!

So I took Jay's advice and used the awesome Father's Day sale at my local Home Depot and bought a cordless Drill to raise and lower my landing gear on our 560. So with it being Dad's Day, there are some pretty killer deals. I was stalking the DeWalt cordless 20-volt brushless drill / driver...

My simple roasted chicken is just Bacon, seasoned chicken, potatoes, carrots and onions. Cook for about 2.5 hrs and perfection. I make this in a 10" DO.

When I make our DO cobbler, I use both peaches and blackberries. I put a can on either side. I follow the traditional receipe of yellow cake mix, butter, cinnamon, but I add my secret ingredient. Mountain Dew!!! After you load the fruit, cake mix, butter, add about 1 cup of Mountain Dew or...

So in a recent post in the LiteSpeed changing tent post, I mentioned that we will use the changing tent as a shower as well when boondocking. I thought I would explain the shower setup here. We purchased a Zodi Shower setup. This consists of a stainless steel, 5 gallon, container that you fill...

Evan, the other thing I saw was the Avatar changing size. We had our "CAMP-INN" license plate reduced in size and read, "AMP-IN " Kinda funny. We since switched our Avatar to our couples pic, but would love to go back to our license plate image.

My wife made a custom leather bound notebook for our teardrop travels. We use it for grocery lists, travel notes and check lists. She made the cover, but used a stamp she found at a local hobby store. [/url]

We had a Bogart Engineering TriMetric installed on our 560. Specifically, the device is called the TM 2030-RV. Cary was super helpful in the install and helping me figure it all out. This device allows me to watch in real time my exact usage and charge of the battery. Said another way, I...

My wife and I made a beer carrier for our Boba Fett CI. This way we can stay hydrated when visiting other Teardrop campers at other campsites. The metal Boba Fett is a bottle opener that is stuck to the carrier with magnets.
