With our 550-Ultra being at the very top of our list, here are some things that work well for us while camping:
1. ShamWow! is a campers friend! We bought the bargain sized 16 count box at Costco. We put the large orange ones in the front windows overnight, to absorb condensation. They are also great for drying off your tent after a rainfall, before stowing. The thinner blue ones make nice dish towels, and are also good for wiping up condensation in the cabin.
2. As per Cary's suggestion, a spray bottle of stainless steel cleaner works wonders on the kitchen countertops.
3. Eagle Creek clothes packing system: Jim found a great online deal on these a few years back. They are great for packing and stowing clothes in the Camp-Inn. Each pack it cube can hold an entire outfit, and serves as a mini suitcase for carrying a change of clothes to the bath house.

4. Collapsible trash can from Harbor Freight is sturdy and conveniently sets up under cooler table.

5. Collapsible silicon colanders are the way to go.
6. Cast Iron is excellent for camp cooking.
7. Found a bagged set of 8 nylon utensils at Evan's "place whose name we do not mention", for under $4. They nest together and take up minimal drawer space, considering the amount of utensils.
8. GSI Infinity Deluxe (4 pc.) Table Set. Really conserves cabinet space-square plates stand on their side without rolling. Bowls have lids, two sized cups- one is insulated and has a snap on lid.

9. We mounted a small wastebasket found in the automotive section at K-Mart on the side wall of the cabin, very handy!
