    Mr Buddy Heater Yes/No

    Hands down, Mr. Heater is awesome. This unit kept us warm in our tent all night long. It puts out a lot of heat. I kept it on low for about 30min and it made the tent cozy. I turned it on again about 3 am for 20min to make the tent cozy again. Very safe. If you barely bump the heater it...

    Snow camping

    Well, our trip was amazing. We experienced everything, snow, sleet, rain, and temps down to 27°. The key to a fun trip in the snow, is a good fire, lots of good food, and of course our new friend Mr. Heater Buddy. We slept really well. The boys had a great trip.

    This weekend will be our first trip to the snow overnight. I have a question, Is it better to set up camp in the open, or under a cover?

    Tepui Tents... 4 person tents opinions

    I have the Tepui Kukenam Ruggidized. It fits our needs. We have a family of 6, but my wife and daughter are not much for camping, so it's mainly me and the 3 boys. I upgraded to the deluxe mattress from Tepui, and it sleeps really nice.

    It is a little It is a little louder, but you get used to it. You learn how to work the throttle and brakes. Now, when your offroad, there isn't much you can do about the banging.

    That's the tricky part of the price calculations on the price. I work for a trailer company, so I got a killer price on the parts. I'd say I'm around $2000-$2500 for the trailer as it sits. Of course the Tepui is not included in the cost. It was fun to do.

    Sacramento guys, where do you go to tune your CB antenna?

    Save your money. They'll charge you about $30-50 to tune it. Go to Right Channel web page and buy a tuner for around $30. It's good to tune it once a year or so.

    Another trip on the books. Trailer handled great. This trip was more off road which tested the pintle articulation. I will say, it was quite a bit louder with the ruts, rocks and holes. Still, I don't know if I'd feel as secure with a ball mount. I will say, having the trailer axle the same...
