Teardropping Tips
We are sure you will enjoy using your
Camp-Inn
TM
teardrop and will
find ways of making your travel experiences more enjoyable. Here are a
few tricks that we have found to get you started.
1.
To determine what is necessary to take with you, put a piece of
masking tape on every item. When you use each item, remove the
tape. After a few trips consider leaving home any item that still has
the tape on it.
2.
Bedding:
A twin size comforter and/or blanket will fit well. Anything
larger tends to be too bulky to tuck in.
Using a queen size fitted sheet and a full size flat sheet works
well. The full size flat sheet allows about a 10" overhang on
both sides of the bed, which can easily be tucked in. If you
choose to use a queen size flat sheet instead, there will be about
a 15" overhang on both sides of the bed.
On all models
, an easy way to make the bed and keep the sheets
in place is to sew the bottom of the flat sheet to the bottom of the
fitted one. This is done just like waterbed sheets. Line up the
centers of the bottom ends of the fitted and flat sheets. Then pin
them together and machine stitch the two sheets together, sewing
only between
the two elastic corners of the fitted sheet . If you
sew onto the elastic corners of the fitted sheet, you will tear both
the stitches and sheets when you try to put them on the mattress.
3.
Trick for making the bed: Lay the fitted sheet on top of the mattress
in the correct orientation. With one person on each side of the trailer,
fold the top three feet of mattress. Then slide the mattress toward the
front of the trailer. Now you can reach the foot end of the mattress
to install the fitted sheet. Slide the mattress back into place and
continue making the bed.
4.
For your cooler, try wrapping a towel from the top, around the back
and underneath when you put it into the storage area on the
countertop. You can pull on the bottom of the towel, to assist sliding
the cooler out. It will also add insulation and reduce scuffing of the
stainless countertop.
5.
The in-floor storage is a good place for items that you need, but not
very often, like rain gear, cold weather gear, road flares, reserve
bottled drinking water, spare 1lb. propane tank, etc… It is nice to
have these items, ―just in case.‖
