Earlier this month FTCA Inc. announced that it has signed a trademark licensing agreement with The Coleman Company, Inc. This basically means that FTCA folding camping trailers will again have the Coleman logo on their sides. As background the Coleman Company started manufacturing PUPs in 1969.

Avoiding Tick Bites

Posted 08-16-2008 at 12:05 PM by merrystrong

It's raining again in NY

Posted 08-15-2008 at 08:18 PM by 5happycampers

It is raining again in NY - it seems that it has been raining most of August!!

Rain doesn't bother me as much as hail, tornados and flash flooding. We were suppose to go camping this weekend out in Riverhead. We thought about doing it anyway, in the rain, but the weather warning was scarey to listen to even being in a house, let alone in a pop-up in the woods. I am really disappointed, but what can I do. We are going Labor Day - rain or not!!

If you do get burned, here are two easy and inexpensive...

Most of us feel as though our pets are an important part of the family… much to important to leave behind when we go camping.

When you take your pet on these trips there are things you should keep in mind, in order for things to go smoothly and to ensure that EVERYONE will have the best vacation possible.

If you pet is afraid of loud noises, such as thunder or fireworks, make sure they are on a leash at all times (when in public). This will prevent them from...
