We just returned from a week in Maine at Acadia National Park (Magnificent). We stayed at a campground just outside the park which provides a 20 amp electric hookup. Using an adapter, I connected with my 30 amp Hughes Watchdog protection. The Hughes Watchdog would shut down and restart continuously showing fluctuations in…
@Ratkity, what's that? More pictures? Of Acadia? Does that make me an accomplice in derailing this thread? Maybe people on the"right" (left) coast aren't familiar with it. Acadia National Park was the first one east of the Mississippi. It is mostly on Mount Desert Island, MDI, (pronounce "Desert" like "Dessert" because of…
Do you have lights on your power cord ? it will light up at the camper end to see if you have power to the camper . Surge protector , and cord light should tell you if there is power at the pedestal. If those are both good , start checking the breakers in the camper converter box . We lost power overnight in Acadia last…
Just started booking some summer trips. July: Acadia National Park for five days July: Adirondaks (parking at a private family camp) August: Sebago Lake State Park (Maine) for 4 days Very excited! Trying to determine when our first trip out will be. Lots of the campgrounds around here (New England) don't seem to open until…
We've got our plans in place, just need the T@B!

We originally tried a Pahaque visor XL on our 320s . It was ok, but we wanted a more substantial awning . While at a campground in Acadia Maine, we came across some great people from Canada who had a 400 with an Isabella awning on it . The quality blew us away ! The materials and hardware on the Isabella were a night and…
@rfuss928: I love your T@B. Thanks for sharing your experience. It's good to hear first-hand info on this stuff. It sounds like you have a great setup. First of all, I am very envious of bicycle tourists. They were all over New Zealand when we were there and I would love to do that. Right now I am trying to figure out how…
Just got back from 5 days in Acadia National Park. This was our longest trip yet. We stayed in the newish Schoodic Woods Campground because it was the only park-run campground with water and electric hook-ups. No sewer hook-ups and no showers at all on the property. This meant, I finally got the guts to try the tiny shower…
As mentioned previously, a lot will depend upon the personality of the dog(s) itself in terms of adaptability to new situations, separation anxiety, etc. As for me and my now 2-year-old corgi pup, we camp quite well together. But then again, she had her first camping adventure at the tender age of 15 weeks, so she views…
I’ve been a tent camper since I was 6 months old. As the story goes, my parents brought me camping and the nurse in the next campsite was horrified that they would being such a young child. I survived. Fast forward into adulthood I took off a few years to go to college and once I was a bit settled again I headed back onto…
