    FireMaple lantern (sometimes you just want nice things ...)

    Certainly didn't need but it was kinda too damn cute (and well made) to resist. Isobutane or propane (with adapter) lantern. Got it on sale for $29. (The leather cover is an accessory.) More an ambiance thing than a key function thing.

    First lengthier trip in the Raindrop (Big Bend)

    Excited for my first proper extended trip in the 560 Ultra. Houston to Big Bend for about 10 days. Probably 1400 miles when complete. Split campsites between full primitive (my preference) and the developed Chisos Basin Campground (water and showers but no electric). It'll be a hotty during the...

    TX Four nights "in Austin"

    This was a short (four nights) but locationally interesting work trip/commute. Had to spend four days in Austin for a training visit for our company. But wanted to use the Raindriop. Turns out McKinney Falls State Park is basically in the Austin city limits near the airport on the east side...

    Resurfacing a great post on the Camp-Inn value proposition

    Maybe a better way of doing this, forum-wise, but came across this older-than-dirt 2011 post and thread -- and even for today's new buyers or prospective buyers, I've not read a better argument for Why You Should Feel Great About Choosing Camp-Inn. By way of small comparison: I seriously...

    Iwatani butane stove -- perfect fit

    Was surprised and tickled to discover my old Iwatani 35FW butane stoves slides PERFECTLY into the bottom of the 560 galley storage bay. (Great secondary stove with 15,000 BTU solid brass burner, btw)

    Has anyone added an Ark tongue jack?

    I think this is the one currently on Vistabules. But wondering if it would be easily mountable on the Camp-Inn frame? https://www.arkcorporation.us/products/xo350r-ratchet-style-trailer-jack

    Retro Day! Camp-Inn's look and brand

    This being National Retro Day (who knew?), seemed as good a time as any to wonder aloud about this. Treading gently here as I don't think Camp-Inn has anything like a business challenge or a problem to solve. But I've wondered at different points whether certain things hold back potential...

    Gazelle Gazebo Tandem

    I know there are a variety of posts (and religious beliefs!) where "best" shelters are concerned. Have been looking at Quick-Set by Clam -- but damned if I can get clear picture on which, if any have secondary entrance. (Their customer service dolt swears none of them do. But I can point out a...

    Greetings from newly acquired No. 786!

    My wife Rosana and I are thrilled to join this community after purchasing 560 Ultra No. 786 down here in the Houston area. (Thank gawd it has air conditioning!) Have followed this excellent forum for a couple of years while doing my teardrop research. Great people and lots of great information...
