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.

Well my father taught me that whenever you point your finger at someone you’ll have at least three fingers pointing back at you.

“So what does finger pointing have to do with torquing wheel nuts or Ruide have you lost your mind?”
Well not yet. However I wanted to share this because I realize if I were to use the same criteria I used on the RV books I reviewed over the last couple weeks and assess my SmugMug web...

Every since I purchased my first RV book I’ve been hunting for the perfect folding trailer reference manual. It turns out that there is only one book that I could find that was written specifically for folding trailers. So my challenge was to see how much folding trailer material was included in each of the RV books I could find.

Now I’ll be honest, I was looking for books that explained how things are designed & work, and...

This week I was going to write about one of the topics that generate a lot of disagreement among folding trailer owners – the BAL leveler. However, that will have to wait for a while as another item surfaced and I discovered it generated more debate than comparing a BAL Leveler to wood or Lynx blocks.

This all started when a fellow camper ask if he needed to ground his Honda EU3000 generator. He had a grounding bolt but wasn’t’ sure...

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 and...
