I enjoyed your story! It's so true that the things that go wrong make the memories! Sometimes camping bloopers are only funny when they happen to someone else or AFTER they happen to you. Thanks again for the post.
I like it its a great idea, I want one!
I guess that's for people who have trouble backing up a trailer in close quarters.
The #1 trailer related accident happens when parking or backing.
I guess it would work on a boat also?
Yes, ANY trailer up to about 2500 lbs.

Interesting, I guess that's for people who have trouble backing up a trailer in close quarters. I guess it would work on a boat also? Moving it around in a garage or drive way. How steep of a grade will it climb? Does it have brakes also? Can it m...
Congratulations on the progress you've made. I think you've got a fantastic product and it's sure to become a classic among RV and trailer owners. Amazing. Can't believe someone didn't invent this sooner! I think you're on the road to fame and for...
Yes, it looks great! How does it do on hard gravel? Also, will it handle an incline, like a driveway, and does the motor brake the trailer when off? Thanks, VK

Big news!
I've had to be kinda hush hush about what I've been up to, but heres the scoop!!
ABC TV is premeiring a new TV show called "Shark Tank" on Aug 9th, check your local listing! For lack of a better definition, I'd say its a cross between "American Inventor" and "Deal or No Deal".

Thanksgiving Family Camping 2008, Much to be thankful for.
Wow. We decided to bail on the traditional Thanksgiving this year spent with all the family and go camping. The traditional TG's with us are historically great, lots of family and lots of food, we just wanted a change this year.
Check out this place.... A friggin mazing. We had a spectacular time and I cant say enough about the Lilac Oaks Campground. Simple as it may be, there's a game room, club house and all what you may need (laundry/showers etc) but theres no 'store' so bring all you need e… Continue

Pat Daly said… - Hey, Jim. hope your havin fun. Need some advice about installing a Vizion Flat screen TV in my travel trailer. I'm thinkin it's just plug and play if it's digital ready one that I buy. Kidkin out the crummy 13 inche 110 vold ac job that my FunfinderX ultralight came with.
But then I read a blog thread somewhere that indicated that someone else did exactly the same thing and the flat screen did not work due to antenna (which I really don't want to go to the hassle to replace. The trailer also has an "antenna" booster per normal and the usual "flying wing" crank down antenna on top.
The trailer also has only a converter and not an inverter so I can only run the little factory job tv when I'm land lined to 110 at a campground.
Whaddy think?
thank you.

- Hey Scooter Jim I've got a small 16 inch 110volt tv that came with that test trailer I'm tryin out. It's heavy, too small and I want to loose it. My question is Will a 20 inch or so flat screen marked "hd" ready work without a converter box?? Got a converter for home but really don't want one due to mounting location of tV. What sort of wording should I look for that will get the "new" signal?
Happy New Year to You! Pat

Wow, I never knew that there were so many ways to make money to support my camping "addiction". I definately qualify for theat Myster Shopper; I can eat, I can shop, I can travel and I have no skills! Yahoo!! I'm in!! :)
You're welcome Pat. I just hate to see people work so hard work kamping for $4, 5, 6 or even $8 an hour when they can make more than that (twice or more) online and just pay for camping. If you work online you can come and go and stay at whatever ...
Becky, thanks so much for this post. Maybe it will motivate others to follow their dreams too!
