Might pick up a couple of these, as you are outfitting your new baby.

We got 2 of these last year before spending 3 weeks roaming the Rocky Mountains, staying almost exlclusively in no-hookup, forest campgrounds. We had the best time.

Filled them from clear, rushing mountain rivers, and used them for hairwashing. We are not the type to strip naked in the woods to shower

, but there are those that do, and these would do well for that, as well. Or, if you had one of those cabana-type, portable outdoor enclosures. We wanted to see how well they worked.....and they worked great.

These get high marks from reviewers, for their light weight and efficient warming. Light enough, filled, for a woman to manage, and warm to comfortable temps in a couole of hours in the sun. They don't leak and stow nicely in small spaces.

Water pressure is decent, and their 2 1/2 gallon capacity is plenty for a comfortable shower.

Going to take them camping with the grands in a couple of weeks, where we will be in a no-hookup campground. Be great for handwashing.

It looks like a perfect fit.

Congratulations! When the "stars" clear your vision, you will still be on cloud nine.
Beautiful Airstream & Tow Vehicle and great landing pad. It's awesome to have your new AS right where you can see it everyday....helps to know you're not dreaming.
Enjoy,
FCloud9

Thanks, I must have made 50 trips out there today...

Congratulations! 50 trips is all???? Sometimes we just go sit in ours rather than the house if we haven't been able to camp.
I doubt the stars will never go away.
Have fun!

The other day it started to rain. Ran out there real quick, jumped in and just sat there. Enjoyed every minute.

We were discussing earlier today, will we be going out in January when it's 18° with 18" of fresh snow on the ground...huh...sure- we'll need to be sure no mice are camping!

We used to take our coffee out and sit in ours in the mornings....when we were still working.

Would sit, sip, talk, dream....."oh, the places we will go, the things we will see".

Dreaming and planning is half the fun.

You are so right Maggie. Ever since I stopped working and bought Benchmark maps for each of the western states, I sit and look at them all the time.

Leaving today for our shakedown cruise. We will be staying at Meaher State Park which is about 10 miles from the house and located at the top of Mobile Bay.

Fired up the fridge last night. Checked it this morning and it is reading 37. Getting all the other stuff ready to go. I hope to be able to hitch up and leave by 10 am so I can get a good spot over there.

Have fun. Take your time! Jim

So, got somewhat loaded up and hitched up and decided to head out. I still had not decided which route I would take to get over the river. My choices are 2 tunnels or one really high bridge. I decided to take the I10 tunnel and set out on my way. Unfortunately, the route I took precluded I10 and ended up going over the bridge. Oh well, I ended up in the same place so no big deal. I reached the campground, found a spot and got busy setting up. Now, this place has a bad sugar ant problem, so as soon as I had all my ground contact items down, I sprayed for ants. Pretty soon, I was basking in the shade making a mental list of the things I I forgot. My wife was coming over after work, so ii would email her things as I discovered them. Little did I know she left work early and didn't get my last, most important, email. Oh well, no problem, we are 25 minutes from the house!
