I purchased my Camp Inn trailer 1 1/2 years ago. I have the 550 Ultra with the furnace, A/C and stove. I have traveled many miles with my camper and I am so impressed with the quality and workmanship. It is extremely durable, and I have been across some rough roads and trails. Thank you Camp Inn for a beautiful camper.
We own a 2011 and camp remotely in northern Arizona and sw Colorado! This camper is absolutely perfect for 3 to 7 day off road adventures! We have been all over the west and would not even consider another!!!
Love my 550. The AC is just okay. Loud and cycles too much for small space. Many trouble free miles. Stays dry in downpours on road or parked. No regrets. Do like the stove and sink. Makes quick meals and cleanup but see advantages of not having them.
Thanks for your thoughts. I have suspensions about the A/C and the noise cycling off and on would drive me crazy. It's also really ugly. I'm sure, however, the A/C could hidden behind wooden slats if desired.
I own a 2016 Camp Inn 560 Ultra with many of the more popular options. I can't understand why you would spend this amount of money and not go ahead and get the sink/on board water supply and the pull of stove/propane tank in the build. It makes for the complete teardrop experience when camping. Just my opinion.
Yeah most Camp Inn owners desire the sink and stove. I am an outlier there in deleting them. It wasn't to save money (although it did cut the cost) but rather to simplify things. I wanted the systems to be as simple as possible so that I'm not dealing with maintenance issues but also it gives me a lot more flexibility with how I camp. With water, I use a couple of 7 gallon jugs for my wash water and bring along a couple of gallons of filtered water. It's a lot easier for me to take the jugs to a spigot than to tow my trailer to a water source and run a hose. Also the water from the tanks probably shouldn't be ingested as the tanks develop a biofilm. I also camp in freezing weather. I'm happy to remove frozen tanks and pipes from the equation. With the stove, I use a portable propane stove (Camp Chef Everest) which is actually more powerful than my home range (20,000 BTU x 2). I have refillable propane tanks but also use a 20 pound tank with an adaptor hose. I don't worry about the hoses or fittings on the trailer wearing out and failing - it's easier to replace a portable stove than a fixed stove. This also allows me to set up my outdoor kitchen wherever I want. I usually cook away from the back of the teardrop. This keeps all the grease and smell and food debris out. I get why folks like the standard configuration and am glad that it works well for your style of camping!
@@benhand9308 Great response, Ben. I've been asked, "Why did you spend that much when you could have gotten a bigger camper?!" Because we all have our own ways of camping! When I find myself at a campground, the best part is saying hi to everyone when I'm walking around or when they stop by. Doesn't matter if you're in a tent, or a motorhome, we're all having the same fun!
@@benhand9308 Thank you. I didn't think of removing the sink out of the equation prior to watching this. I'm considering ordering a 560, and am still on the fence about the stove, but the sink is almost useless, and together with the water tank and associated piping takes up valuable space. Water lines would need to be winterized [climate-dependant] and, along with the holding tank, disinfected from time to time, to remove biofilm. I don't know if the faucet operates from an electric or manual pump, or solely from shore water: if it's indeed pump-fed, that's just another thing that will break. Please make more videos of your traveling in the Camp-Inn! ! !
@@benhand9308 Great explanation. Yikes! Water tanks develop biofilm? I'm not surprised. I don't think water should be stored in plastic for any reason. Plastic leaches chemicals into water, especially on warm days. I'm surprised teardrop manufacturers don't use stainless steel tanks for fresh water. Portable water jugs can be worse, though. There are more chemicals used to soften the plastic and make it pliable.
Lol... the cost is because you'll be comfortable and warm and dry and cool.... it's the complete package and it is made so well you can pass it on to your kids. Stainless steel hardware and good cabinetry isnt what you find in Rockwoods or Coleman's but it is what you find in these CampInns
Somemedic is right, the cost is because it's a custom built trailer built by dedicated craftsman to the industries highest standards. My dad bought the 25th CampInn off the line back in 2004 and it's still in day-1 condition! Will be a head-turner for me for the rest of my life now. Would always recommend this for a single person or a couple. For a family of 3 or more, a more conventional camper is the better option.
