Congrats on your decision; sounds like it will work well for your needs. As to trailers, several years ago I bought a Canadian M101 to haul my camping gear behind my jeep. Its worked extremely well for that purpose. Canadian M101

^^^ #101 Thanks for posting the video link - it looks to be a well designed cooler and I'm looking forward to your review of it.

Howdy - A mile or so off US64 between Rocky Mount and Tarboro. We're in the Frisco area of the OBX a good bit and also Pisgah NF and the Smokies - heading to Smokemont on Friday for a week of cooler temps. Maverick9110E - I've got family (mostly Guptons) and a few acres in Franklin County in...

Sorry, no personal experience with these but a couple of observations. I really like the handles and the latch system and the price, especially with free shipping, seems competitive. Nits - I couldn't tell if the drain cap had a retaining strap or not, easy to lose one without this feature...

Wife was an Operating Room Team Leader for years and things always got crazy on a full moon. I'll go with stars. We were on the 10 PM Ocracoke to Hatteras ferry a few weeks back with a full moon and the Milky Way was clearly visible. I can't remember how many years its been since I've seen...

Several years back, I bought a Canadian Army surplus M101 trailer from a military salvage yard not too far from home. Before purchase, I'd called DMV, asked about registration requirements and was told all I needed was a bill of sale and a photo of the build plate showing the serial number...

We have a local mattress mfr that does custom work just a few miles from our home in northeastern NC. They've built mattresses to spec for our Scamp campers which have an odd size berth with rounded edges on two sides. I know they're very popular in the molded fiberglass camper community and...

Good move on the tank swap. We use the Scamp's propane for the fridge, furnace and hot water heater but very seldom use the stove and then only for coffee. All cooking is done outside. We carry two 20 lb tanks on the Scamp and a third for the propane firepit and as a backup in the truck bed...

We've had two of the North Face Dolomite (long) series that can be used standalone or zipped together for several years. Rated to 20* and at 3.5 lbs not too heavy for shorter overnight backpack trips. These along with the Thermarest Trail Comfort pads make for a pretty comfortable sleep.

I've owned two Scamps covering the better part of twenty years and agree with the 'can of worms' assessment of powering the fridge with propane when driving. This is generally a contentious topic on any of the fiberglass camper boards I frequent. From my experience, the three way (12V. 120V...

Thanks for posting; looking forward to getting back out there.

Sorry, I should have referenced the original poster in my reply. I was trying to give him a heads up if this was to be an off road trip.

You may already know this but just in case - Access to Cape Lookout from Harkers Island is via passenger ferry only. If you're planning to take a vehicle over to South Core Banks or North Core Banks (Portsmouth Island), you'll need to use one of the authorized ferry services. Two run out of...

Nothing at all wrong with propane - as you can see, I carry that firepit along whenever we're traveling in a campfires restricted area. The oven does work well once you get accustomed to it. Having a large flat rock in the bottom helps to keep the temp regulated. IIRC, we had some made from...

The 413 series are hard to beat, especially the older ones with the larger tank and adjustable legs and they're all wide enough for the oven and a decent sized frying pan. I've got an E, F, G and H with the E being my favorite - its over sixty years old and the only thing I've replaced is the...

Max tool - Not great at any one thing but adequate in all configurations. Doesn't take up a lot of room and the military version can be had for under $100 on ebay with patience 12V compressor, tire repair kit and tire gauge Bottle jack with several 'stacking' boards Quality lithium ion booster...

Coleman 413E liquid fuel double burner (Acquired at a yard sale from my mid sixties college days) and a Coleman 533 liquid fuel single burner (early nineties vintage) make up our basic setup. The frying pan or griddle go on the left burner and the Coleman oven (Also from same yard sale) on...

Congratulations!!! The missus and I pulled the trigger six years ago this past July 1 and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. AZ is one of our favorite destinations as well. Now, if we can just get this virus mess to go away. we might see you out there later in the year.

It was explained to me that rotomolded construction uses a much denser insulation medium and the process is less likely to leave voids compared to blow molding, From my very unscientific experience, the biggest advantage of the rotomolded coolers is their durability. While the ice does last...

Thanks for the update and good to know they may be sending you a replacement. Hope you can get this resolved soon.
