Re: Do you camp with dogs?

One of my main concerns is how to keep the inside clean with her shedding and tracking. Will probably need to make cushion covers and such.

I have two 15# dogs who love the dirt and exploring under the bushes. While they do not shed, they do collect leaves and pine needles. I have one of those outdoor 6x8 RV mats. It allows us a place to knock off some of the dirt and debris. I keep a brush and an old towel in the storage next to the door if needed. I have a blanket that I tuck around the passenger side cushion (I am thinking of sewing elastic in the covers like a fitted sheet); that is where they sleep if not on the floor. I have a hand broom and dust pan if needed for the floor. At night I have rug I put down the center aisle, that way I am not tracking any dirt into bed with me.

With my previous dogs, who did shed a lot, I had a lint roller for the furniture. Also had a hand vacuum with a roller bar with teeth to rake up the dog hair.

Re: Idle-off-topic-chit chat - Part 2

@BrianZ at least you were able to get some gorgeous pictures and get outside (or sneeze a bit)!! I've had to escort friends and relatives in the DC metro area many times as well as the Balt. Inner Harbor.

Oh! And then there is no way my baby sis and I can top taking Mom to the Gaylord hotel for her bday and Mother's day at National Harbor last year. The weather was amazing, the Ferris wheel spectacular at night and my "foodie" baby sis made all the right reservations for Mother's day brunch. There was a spa day for Mom too. I think baby sis and I have tapped ourselves out. LOL.

Re: Barefoot Caravan

By developing / maturing the NuCamp factory's fiberglass experience level, maybe this will allow the crack-prone ABS plastic trim pieces on the rest of the product line to be replaced with fiberglass equivalents?

Re: Barefoot Caravan

I saw the Barefoot camper when I was in Sugarcreek, so I was waiting for the announcement. Forgive the uber cropped cell phone shot.

These are nice little campers. I am guessing they will be just a little more than I want to pay for one, but if they come in around the same price as a T@b with the right specs, I am interested.

Re: Post up some shots of your T@B set-up at the camp site! Part 2

@Verna, I looked at Amazon - that is where we bought our King Camp. @Sboatcruise has one that has a door that unzips to create another awning and the sides roll up, too. I bet you could make this work for the 400. We use ours over our galley.

Re: Hooking up a new Dish portable satellite system.

Yes, the factory coax connector should work fine with the Dish antennae. Unfortunately, I had a severe kink in my cable that was made during construction of the trailer. I had to run a new cable from the outside to the Wally receiver in the trailer.

Re: Unofficial nuCAMP T@B400 Resource Guide - Finalized

V1.1 has been posted and it clarifies some ambiguities, corrects a misstatement about the Alde having 3 boost settings, spells nüCamp correctly with the two dots and adds one page describing the forestry saw, hatchet & wedge stored in the TV that may be needed when large branches fall after you've gone down a forest road.

Re: @ Symbol meaning

Well, this is fun, although not addressing OP’s question at all.

Barefoot Caravan

Found this over on the TaG forum. Looks like another addition to the NuCamp line up.

Re: Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - Issue noted when towing

just note that this is also the issue with the Curt wireless controller

"by: William03/24/2019

We just took out the curt echo on a week long camping trip. Overall it worked well and as advertised but there was one incident that seemed dangerous. We were going down a particularly steep grade and wanted to turn on our emergency flashers because we were going very slow. When we turn on the emergency flashers the brake controller started breaking In conjunction with the pace of the lights flashing. We were super confused and couldn’t get it to stop because we didn’t realize what was going on until we got to the bottom of the hill. This felt like a really dangerous situation. We were driving a 2009 Acura MDX towing a 19 foot Jayco trailer. 613895

Comments

I spoke with Curt about the trailer brakes pulsing with the hazards and according to Curt, this is a function of the wireless nature of the controller. With an older wired-in controller, a pulse prevention device could be used but because this is a wireless device it wouldnt work. Curt states that there isnt a solution for this issue.
