Intro from Eric & Lisa

Hi everyone. I'm Eric, and with my wife Lisa, we are eagerly awaiting completion of our 560 Ultra in April. At this point, I don't know who is more excited - Lisa, or our children Madeline (7) and Isaac (4). Of course, I'm pretty stoked myself, but have come to the realization that I have about 2-3 weeks to get the garage majorly cleaned out (and kept that way...). We live in Minneapolis.

We are long time campers, so this is a bit of an upgrade for us. We are hoping that this will be an incentive for us to get out for more weekend trips to go hiking and biking. We have a (very) long-term goal of hiking every stage of the Superior Hiking Trail.

Look forward to chatting and learning more from everyone. We'll post some pictures as soon as we take delivery!
 
Hello, Eric & Lisa, and welcome. It appears that you have the perfect size family for the 560 - you will love it I'm sure. Good luck keeping the garage cleaned out. I have to haul about 1000 lbs of junk to the dump a couple times a year - can never figure out where it all came from.

You are going to love your trailer. We've already been out 5 times in ours this winter - it's certainly a different experience to be snug during a storm.
 
Eric and Lisa,

Cool, you found this site. Good place to be.

Yes, you do need to start getting that garage cleaned out, your trailer is very close to done now. :)

Eric and Lisa have a connection with me in the sense that their two kids are the same age as mine. So, I know exactly what their upcoming adventures are going to be like.

Madeleine must be getting close to turning 8 now if I were to guess. My son Nathan turns 8 at the end of May. My daughter Jilli will be 5 in June then.

Welcome Eric and Lisa,

I can relate to this. We are getting our 560 just a few weeks behind you and started cleaning our garage recently. It's amazing how easy it is to get rid of stuff when you have something so important to move into the space!

I wish you all the best with your new addition!
 
Woo-hoo! Very excited to hear it is almost done. Following the build pictures really builds the excitement.

Our kids are just a touch younger that Cary's. Madeline will be 8 in November, and Isaac will by 5 in September.
 
Eric & Lisa,
Welcome to the 'club'! This is a great group - everybody's very helpful and friendly. Good luck with your new camper.

Welcome Eric and Lisa...Beautiful Family! Charlie and I have kids that are grown so we did the tent thing with them...you are very blessed to have this oppurtunity to camp-inn with your little ones. Enjoy yourselves...time FLIES! Bernice
 
YES!

Yes, we got the garage cleaned out... but then we put everything back cause there was no other place to put things! So it's neat, but still too crowded. Hopefully, backing a 560 Ultra into the garage will help facilitate some decisions on what to keep and what to get rid of.
 
You are going to love it! Take lots of pictures, but watch out for their production manager Marty. He'll try to put your kids to work on their production line (child labor and all...)
 
We are now the proud owners of 560 Ultra #362! We picked it up on Friday and had a great visit with Cary and Marty. Craig was making a delivery so unfortunately we weren't able to see him. They did a great job going over the trailer with us and making sure we understood everything from a usage and maintenance standpoint. Absolutly first-class treatment all around.

It would have been anti-climactic to just take it home and stow it in the garage, so we spent the night at Nugget Lake County Park in SW Wisconsin, near Spring Valley. It started raining just as we arrived, so it was a pleasure for the four of us to relax in the trailer warm and dry! The next day, it was pouring even harder, so no camping pictures to share - we packed up and headed home, after a stop at the Crystal Caves! Thanks again to everyone at Camp-Inn for their great service and product!

Now to figure out the optimal equipment list for the kitchen!

Eric, Lisa, Madeline and Isaac

Congrats on taking possession of your new Raindrop! It looks like the kids were excited to get started camping - enjoy.
 
Another congratulations! They are soooo sweet, comforting in the rain and yes the construction smells fade quickly. You have done a wonderful thing for your family....

Congratulations, Eric & Lisa! Your picture of your happy little kids in front of your raindrop reminds me of what a thrill it was to walk into Camp-Inn's shop , and set eyes on our McNugit for the very first time! We hope you'll get many years of enjoyment out of yours!
