    No camping for some time

    Well there will be no camping in my future for some time now. I have no tow vehicle at this time. Someone suddenly stopped two cars ahead of me causing the car ahead of me to slam on brakes.

    Cold weather camping!

    We are going to Idaho for a week and the temps are supposed to be 40s during the day and 15-25 during the night. We have the Arctic Pak switch so I know that will help. We'll be using our generator for the furnace etc, so we should be good? Correct? I'm not trying to freeze up!

    Cool weather camping

    We are camping these last couple fall weekends before we have to close it up for the winter. Using the furnace I am noticing is causing condensation on the inside of the canvas bed ends. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Beach camping - tires???

    We’re heading to crystal beach in Texas with a G19 geo pro being pulled by Lexus GX. So, anybody know if normal street-ish tires will fare okay in the sand, or if AT tires are mandatory on that beach? I’m curious about the composition of the sand and/or roads (trails); never pulled two tons...

    Juice pack and boondocks camping

    We went on our first outing with our 2021 Cherokee 274DBH, boondocks camping with the juice pack and 12v fridge were suspect at best. Thank goodness for a generator, without it we would have been home in a day. Battery goes from a full charge to beeping at you almost dead by morning. Going to...

    5 camping trips and 4 service visits in 8 months

    Learning rapidly that travel trailers are not well made. Being in manufacturing I find it hard to believe how poor the quality control is. We have made 5 trips in our 2020 Rockwood A213 camper and have been back at the dealer after 4 of them for warranty repairs. We purchased it in February...
