In his book, Travels with Charley: In Search of America , a travelogue by American author John Steinbeck, Steinbeck did his wash by putting the dirty clothes in a bucket with a lid, soap & water and allowed it to letting everything aggitate as he went down the road. Sounds familar? The book documents the road trip he took with his French standard poodle Charley around the United States, in 1960. He wrote that he was moved by a desire...

It's a 3-way refrigerator, just wanted to know how many BTU's it would use when on propane. -------------------- Try not to fall apart during the day.

Adrian, is the list posted elsewhere. Unless you are a member of the Casita Forum, you can't see it.

Brian, I would suggest posting your questions as to Full timing in a egg in a separate post. That way the people who full time in an egg would be able to jump in and help you. Personally for me, I don't think I could! But there are those who do! As far as the posts suggesting larger for storage space, even weekend campers need storage to stow away all the stuff we take with us for our weekend get aways. With a family of 4...

Yep, a couple of feet make a huge difference. I was just watching the Escape Trailer video that was posted in another thread and I was amazed at how much more space the 17' has over my 13' plus all the nifty features.

As promised (minus the pictures), here are my initial impressions of the Hensley as opposed to our previous setup, a Husky weight distribution hitch with no sway control. It was a very short trip so I'm sure more of its features will pop up later. First and foremost, hooking up to the Hensley can be frustrating. The first time I tried it, a dry run at home, everything went smoothly. I wondered why some thought it was so difficult. Then,...

QUOTE (Lizbeth @ Jul 6 2009, 10:37 AM) I would always have a 7 pin on an RV type trailer. We love having our battery charge as we drive and we would never pull one without brakes. We put brakes on our 13 and our 5th (PO had taken them off the 5th, which is against the law in most states). Thanks Lizbeth - I just found the adapter I need out here at Lordco - nothing at two shops I checked on the coast though. Anyway, I'm...

QUOTE (Brian A. @ Jul 8 2009, 09:50 AM) .... and I'm thinking of about an 18' - 25'er and that seems pretty adiquate to me. I don't plan on having anything that is "decorative" - just living essentials, so I'm not sure why everyone talks about extra space and storage. Am I missing something since I've never actually lived this way before? Part of your confusion Brian might be...

If you leave it in over our winters with the snow and salt it will rust in and nobody can get it out! Snow? What's that? Salt? Why would there be salt around?

Hi Russell, H Here's my .02 worth There aren't many downsides, with the exception of initial cost and storage ( depending on your property situation) I guess, but the experiences you'll have will balance it out. As you pointed out at least you're outdoors again. You may find that although amenities like a a MW, AC or WC aren't on your list now it may be because you haven't had an opportunity to use/enjoy...
