I've often tried to understand this mode of adventure! How do you know where to go and what's out there? Are there particular areas that are just meant for this type of off roading? I assume everyone has a GPS. I guess if I had the right vehicle it could be fun. The climbing up big boulders...

Hi Monica-We'll be gearing up soon to start camping again. I think we'll first head over to Pisgah Forest to check out Cascade Lake in the Dupont Forest area. Have heard good things about it and we can take our kayaks over there for some nice lake paddling. There are so many places and you're...

Hi Monica- welcome and congrats on your purchase! I haven't posted in forever here but come back and read occasionally. Just happened to see your post. I live in Black Mountain with my husband and son so am very close to you! We have a 550 Ultra we purchased last year from a great couple in OH...

Note to self-no camping in parks with javelinas and mountain lions....yikes. Enjoyed reading about your adventure. I used to live in Houston and would go camping up in Austin alot, sailed and played at Canyon Lake, lovely. The armadillos were cute and fun to watch, that was enough for me. Funny...

Welcome Jen-We just purchased an '08 used 550 Ultra from some folks who took great care of her. I did all the research for a long time and was all over the place but kept coming back to tears and then of course Camp Inn. You can't deny quality. Have fun with your research process!

Gee, I forgot to take pics when Tom and Debbie dropped it off! I was a little excited. It's SO pretty and cool. Saturday we had threats of hail and I made my husband pull his little classic Porsche far into the garage and stick the tear in there as well as I was afraid of what might happen. Got...

well I thought about that Matt however we decided on the 550 for now. I kind of lust after the 560 but figure if I decide I want the 560 in the future the stars will align and I'll sell the 550 and a used 560 will be waiting for me. For now, I think and hope it will work out.

Welcome Mike! We are getting delivery on a used 550 Ultra tomorrow from a couple that had listed theirs about the same time that the one in WA was listed. One for you on west coast and one for us on the east! Enjoy!

Well I made the decision and brought my husband onboard to buy a tear. We're getting a sweet toddler....2yr old 550 Ultra that has been loved and cared for by Tom and Debbie Robbins. They had listed it on a couple forums including this one. After many questions for Cary, some on the forum here...

Congrats guys! I've been reading your posts and know it's been a journey for you. How fun and fine now that you've got it! YAY!

Thanks for the pics Evan. I always like to see other peoples set ups and of course the beauty of the places they visit!

thanks Evan, that helps with perspective.

Okay all you folks with the 560, humour me. I want a picture of an adult sitting on the couch in there. It doesn't have to be full on because that might not be possible without a wide angle lens. However I need scale, a point of reference. Also it helps if you tell me how tall you are. I am...

hum...um, I think I'll just stick to sleeping with the husband. I love my dog but not in my bed. Stormy nights camping...he'll have to go into the car. He fidgits and pants so much he keeps up awake or I'll stick him with the son in his tent!

Great! experienced replies! yes, now I'm feeling better about options and I like the ac/dc fans as well. I just kind of liked the idea of pulling in the cool night air. But now I don't think it's gonna be the issue I thought it might be. Dashing off to stare at fans now.

thanks for your replies. This gives me some ideas. I won't know how he'll respond but I have some options. Linda--bed break? What's that mean? He doesn't sleep with us just on the floor nearby and not even all the time so no worries on that part. Hey our dog is named Jack also! Pat-good...

Lenny-Thanks for the video. It's better than pics. As someone who hasn't seen either model in person and is considering a used 550 but 'not sure'............is there any chance you can video an adult getting in there, laying down and then sitting on the couch??? That would be SO GREAT to have a...

If I have a teardrop, I have to have the sidetent due to a 67 pound very loveable sweet long legged labradoodle. He doesn't sleep in our bed at home and I don't expect that when we're camping. I have concerns with colder weather and having my dog Jack out in the side tent with our door...

I'm considering a used 550 Ultra. It has everything I like except the fantastic fan, instead there is a sun roof. It does have A/C. I'm wondering for those of you who have a sun roof what kind of air flow do you get with windows open and sun roof open in the evening? Do you use your fan often...

Sounds cozy and lovely Pat.
