Re: Where to put the Lagun Table at night?
we made one that is very versatile and use it for bed slats.
Re: Anyone towing with Grand Cherokee Limited 6 cylinder?
@4ncar Thank you, that’s what I thought re the air suspension, but just haven’t seen it in action yet (other than the Jeep lowering itself when we park). Is there anything you don’t miss from towing with your Jeep? 
Re: T@bazona 2021 Save the Dates!
Hi Cindy - I think this is the best decision. I'll keep on eye on 2022's info - perhaps I'll join you next year
Re: Flag pole holder for Boondock rack
Got this idea from the nice folks selling their 2016 Outback. They were kind enough to send me some pics of their install.
Re: Flag pole holder for Boondock rack
Do not buy this $33 model. It's just a $7 one spray painted black! Used two 1/4" wood boards to secure to the rack.

LOL, am going off-topic here
Have recently moved my 'home' to an apartment that has electric only heat, in a Cold Climate. One of those noisy energy expensive Cadet ductless units, that is a lot like the non-Adle trailer heaters, after a life time of living in homes with natural gas ducted heat . . .
Every time it turns on my mind's eye sees $$$ flying out of the window.
So I'm wearing sweaters all day long.
Well due to C-19 risks decided to cancel the 2021 SnowBird adventure to AZ.
Instead will do a week or two at Washington State parks . . rain is not desert sun . .
Cannot express how happy I am knowing those campground stops will be at 30-Amp Electric Sites . . . Adle is going to be set to 70+F all-day-long

Re: Recommended AGM battery capacity for boondocking
There's a lot of debate about the advisability of locking up the front tub because of the propane. Some people claim it's illegal. I don't know. I did figure out a way to lock the battery. I can share via DM.Oyaji said:It wasn't so much the cost of Li which concerned me (I could buy five 100aH Battleborns for the price of a 5 inch Takahashi refractor telescope) but their cold-weather issues and whether they make attractive targets for thieves. Perusing the Battleborn site has allayed my fears about cold weather issues. Now I have only to figure out how to put a padlock on the battery/propane compartment, and a Battleborn Li battery is a pretty compelling choice--mainly because of its user friendly weight.
Re: Happy New Year! Camping in 2021
We've got 3 trips planned already here in snowy Ontario for when the snows melt - as long as they don't close down the provincial parks in the meantime! We'll be 25% vaccinated by July and 75-100% by October if all goes well so it'll be a 'careful' summer but hopefully gets better as we head into the fall and allowing more trips. Will be nice when the US land border opens up so we can all do some cross border trips, regardless which direction we're going! Also looking forward to some sunny weather trips next winter - cruises, all inclusives.. figures we go and get our Nexus passes just before covid hit and now they're sitting & collecting dust!
Re: Newbie One Night Question
First come, first serve at these places. I would go there first, find a parking spot, then call or go in and talk to the hostess or manager. Walmart, check the parking lot for signs as so many people have taken advantage of their generosity and have trashed the parking lots, etc. we are not as welcome at Walmart as we once were.
Be sure to purchase something, breakfast or dinner (or both) at Cracker Barrel, lots of gift items, clothes, snacks, outdoor gear, etc. at Cabela’s , and Walmart is the house of plenty. The common rule is no chairs outside, no tables outside, eat in your camper or in the restaurant, be quiet and polite, and be on your way early.
Look into Harvest Hosts, too, with a simple annual fee. Wineries, breweries, museums, farms, etc., and just remember to please buy something from them, or offer to help them.
Re: Newbie One Night Question
You can stay hitched, but unplug the trailer! It has happened that keeping the 7-pin plugged in drains the vehicle battery. If you have installed solar, find the Victron App before you go pick up the trailer. When you pick up the trailer, check the App and make sure the solar is working and the battery is charged/charging.
