RV Forum - CamperCommunity.com - He Ruide's camping folding trailer blog

My blog is dedicated to folding trailers (AKA PopUps or PUP’s). Hopefully non-PUP owners will find some of the posts of interest/value.

I’ll cover equipment, modifications, maintenance, camping stories, and of course SPUT’s (Stupid Pop Up Tricks). Please forgive my rants & raves and posts on my camping buddy – my granddaughter.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So I try and keep the post short but augment them with pictures from my SmugMug gallery.

Enjoy.

I suspect that everyone has something that they hate to do while camping. Some of the items include:

1) Setting up awning and/or screen room
2) Hanging tacky lights
3) Toting things back and forth between TV and PUP
4) Leveling a trailer
5) and for the newbies… Backing up into the site when the whole camp ground is watching

Backing up use to be on top of my list, but I practiced and practiced...

It is rare that I get excited over a book but I have to admit that I’ve done that with a book called “The Next Exit”.

I stumbled onto it while browsing the shelves in Camping World. Then I had a chance to put it through its paces on a trip from Houston to Cincinnati. It met and exceeded my expectations. Result… a week later I got a copy for my daughter and son-in-law.

So what is so great about this book? Well as...

This question was answered during the recent southern Ohio snow blizzard (yes they called it a blizzard - the first since March 1978). First let’s turn back the clock.

My first camping trailer was a Fleetwood Evolution 2. It had deck made from Weyerhaeuser's Structurwood ® which is designed to withstand wetting. However, I just did not like the idea of it having to withstand snow. In addition, I had permanently mounted...
