    Family Tent

    We have the original Cougar Flats model and it's a great tent. Although we only used it a few times before upgrading (to an RV), I can say it performed wonderfully ... including one evening in the worst rain/lightning storms I've been in. Everything stayed dry! Great ventilation, plenty of...

    battery box

    Hmmmm... I realized I was wrong in saying two 6 volts golf cart batts will give you double the amp hours of two group 27/29 batteries. The 6 volts will give more amp hours but not double. 6v Golf cart = roughly 220 amp hours. Group 27 = roughly 90 amp hours. With batteries wired in a...

    battery box

    Not sure what your specific needs are but two 6 volt golf cart batteries will give you about double the amp hours of two group 27/29 batteries... plus they are cheaper(costco/sams club) and a little lighter.

    Xtremecat tent heater

    I have the smaller one of these... it is great. Used it two weeks ago in temps that got down in the 30's. I actually had the xtremecat from Coleman before and the Mr. Heater is much better. One negative about the Mr Heater brand is the low oxygen feature prevents it from being used above...

    Camping Trailer Advice Needed

    Equal-i-zer and the Reese dual cam are two common, affordable anti-sway hitches. You are looking at about $300-$500 depending on your trailer size. Other than that, you have the Hensley Arrow which is many thousands of dollars. Those three hitches provide weight distribution and anti-sway...

    Camping Trailer Advice Needed

    A few more things... if buying new, around 25% off MSRP is generally considered the price you should try to get the trailer for. The Equal-i-zer sway control hitch is a great value and works very well compared to higher end hitches. Dont let the dealer sell you a lesser hitch. Do it right the...
