Just when you think all of the useful outdoor gadgets have all been invented, along comes something like the Zerogoo that makes you slap your head and say, “why didn’t I think of that?” Those of us that use hydration systems are always fighting mold and “goo” that seems to love the moist environment. We hang them upside down, we leave the out in the sun, but there’s really no good way to get the things dry.
How to Buy a Used Tent Trailer
3-year-old pop-up tent trailers are easy to find and inexpensive
Last month I wrote an article on two interesting new pop-up tent trailers (see Pop-up Tent Trailers) that has proven to be one of the more popular posts, here on CampingBlogger. Tent trailers are popular camping solutions for families because they provide a lot of bed space in a compact area. Tent trailers can usually be stored at home, which saves several hundred dollars a month in storage fees. Many tent trailers weigh less than 2,000 pounds, which means they are towable behind most family vehicles.
Camping Gear: Spring Maintenance
Games? Now is also a good time to round-up the camping essentials which may have been serving other purposes over the winter
The days are getting longer and the temperatures are getting warmer. Spring is just around the corner and that means it’s time to dust off all the camping gear that’s been collecting dust in the garage all winter. The time to checkout your gear is not the first time you try to use it, this year.
Fortunately, checking out all the gear can easily be done over a weekend and you can actually have some fun with it. If your kids are old enough, they can have their own little campout in the backyard and, if they’re not, you can join them and make it a family affair.
Wonderwash Washing Machine
Wonderwash, from The Laundry Alternative, Inc. is a self-contained washing machine
We take two big trips up to the Northwest each year and one of the problems we run into is laundry. Camping is one thing, but when you combine that with visiting family and friends, well, sometimes you’d rather not look and smell like you’ve been camping in the mountains for a week!
Pop-up Tent Trailers
Sylvansport GO trailer
Last November I wrote about the SylvanSport GO Multipurpose Trailer, that is easily converted from a pop-up tent trailer to a utility trailer. Now there are some new products on the market that challenge the unique market position of the GO, promising portability and flexibility.
