The little/light Camper Trailer Thread...

I've been camping my whole life, so the tips for basic campground use I've got down pretty well... it's the RV that's new.

Did you have shower shoes on your packing list? Hmmmm?

I never go anywhere without my headlamp. I LOVE IT!!

I wear it so often that I forget I still have it on my head. :eek1

It's true. And once you have it properly kitted, you don't have to pack! Just get in it and go.

Yeah, remember the stinky slinky gloves...

I have friends who keep a set batch of clothing in their RV. Jeans, socks and underwear, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, raincoat, etc. Only have to pack any clothing that would be specific to the trip they're taking.

So you don't get poo-poo-paws?

Very nice--- tell me about the rebates?






no wait, no don't, don't

We got $5000 off the sticker, and they gave us more for our trade than we paid for it. First time I can remember feeling like I got a screaming deal... instead of that vague feeling of having been screwed.

I would add, maintenance meds (7 day supply) in case you forget when leaving the house
Build a med kit that fits your activites and keep it in the trailer. Date it on the outside. Blue tape with month/yr is sufficient. Change out meds yearly.

I ended up dumping the dishes and went with paper plates and bowls.
Add spices that are your mainstay. I cook ribs, burgers (red meat) when I camp. So I have spices that go well with that.
If items in the trailer are time sensitive, find a spot and write down the date of the items, again blue tape works very well. The inside of a compartment drawer is perfect. Example, trailer tires are time sensitive not mileage senstive. I changed mine every 3 years. You will find a bunch of discussion about this, (just like opinions about oil, etc)

I know what you mean. I alternate between vague and just knowing.

I like the color BTW. The Nissans are the best looking of the current mid-size pickups IMHO.

Not necessarily: it may just mean it's wired for 110 & needs a shoreline of some sort.

Good to know.

Some data points:

* had a brief gig at a tool rental place awhile back and one thing that I quickly discovered was that tools and generators with Honda engines were usually preferred because they started quicker and easier than any other engine

* out here in the South Texas oil patch the Honda generators are far and away the most popular for that class of small generator on the back of a light or medium truck

If that little one will run an AC unit, I'll be all over it. We've got a bunch of boondocking planned.

Be wary of gas with ethanol of you are going to use a genny and not use it very often. The ethanol fuel has a short shelf life and will cause you a lot of carb problems later. DAMHIK

Stabil in the fuel seems to help some but I run my genny every month like religion and burn a 1/4 to a 1/2 tank through to get old gas out and new gas in. PITA, but it saves on trips to the repair man.

Score one for the Yamaha if you like to run the carb dry before storage.

This is really cool but I think they want too much... I was quoted $8000.00 up here in Quebec Canada. Are the US prices similar ?

This is what I was quoted $8000.00. It is a tent on a lightweight trailer. I am not sure a bike could pull this, anyway I would not try it.

It is really cool but in my opinion too expensive for what you get!

Thoughts...

Seems easier to haul a tent on the bike.
