    It all looks so cozy and relaxing! Is the campfire propane, and if so, which brand? I've been looking at the Little Red Campfire set although there are less pricey ones out there, too. Anything you would recommend doing differently? I'm taking tips here. :-)

    Looks very seasoned!  Was the awning a breeze to set up?  What were your temperatures?

    Awning slid right in to the keder rail....guess I didn't need to make a special trip to the hardware store for silicone spray. Temps are mid sixties today and partly cloudy. Hopefully there will be enough sun to cook my chicken in the solar oven. Overnight temps were in the low fifties...perfect sleeping weather.

    'Ya must have been on shore power. Had the same thing happen to me with full hook-ups, and first time using the fridge on shore power. Good part is that eventually it thaws out, as opposed to the opposite, and having to throw it out when it's not cold enough. Dalehelman did a pretty cool digital read-out thermostat for his fridge that you can read from outside the fridge. Might give him a shout & check it out. The install looked pretty straight forward & simple. ( I know, another mod to add to the growing list, huh?  ;))

    We did have the little red camp fire. Up here in the PNW we really need something that will put out more heat so we sold it.  Of course more heat means more  propane.

    I think the one we use is larger and may put out more heat. It has always kept us toasty and warm ☺

    Strawberries thaw, lettuce...history! :s One reason I keep my beer in a cooler, don't mind a "light beer slushy", but froze, not so much! :o Great place for Fireball though, right next to the fins too! =)

    Sandiegogal, Yup! I've been known to grab some dry ice to put in the coolers on longer, extended stays. Gotta be REAL careful how close 'ya put the beer to that stuff! :o
