RE: New purchases perform well!

Since last camping season I have purchased a BAL leveler, Coleman s Gas Coffeemaker, Put a Vent in the Camper, Purchased a 1 3/4"  foam egg crate for the bed.
 We finally got a chance to use all of them this past rainy weekend and I wanted to give my opinion.
 BAL LEVELER- nice, easy, but SLOW! Backing in, checking for level, pulling up putting down a board or two and backing up on it is MUCH faster. Still it has it s place, as long as the box lasts, otherwise I would think the grease from the screw would get all over everything!
 COLEMAN GAS COFFEEMAKER- This was my best purchase! Made great coffee! I mixed the free sample in with some Folger s Coffee! Took a little longer to make than just bringing a pan of water to a boil and using Folger s Singles, but the wait is worth it!
 CAMPER VENT- Not a good weekend to judge this addition since it was a very rainy weekend!
 EGG CRATE FOAM- This was right up there with the coffeemaker! Felt great to sleep on. I have this UNDER the mattress as I thought it would be quite warm to sleep on. I m the type who sleeps with just a sheet at 45 to 50 degrees, and on top of the sheets if it s warmer than that! It was very comfortable! It s a good thing it s not 2"  thick or I d have to take it off to close up the camper, but at 1 3/4"  it just fits!
 COLEMAN ROAD TRIP- this was actually purchased last year, but with all the new parts, I think I can leave my Camp Chef Stove packed away. That would be one less thing to set up and tear down!
 WHEELED BLUE TOTE- Almost forgot this one! After trying to find a satisfactory solution to collecting and disposing of dish water, I purchased a 10 gallon wheeled blue tote. I use a wide tractor funnel which allows easier dumping of the dish pan with less spillage! It worked great!

Sounds like you made some wise purchases.

Garym053,
 
    Just would like to add a few comments to your new products. I have the BAL Leveler also and what I do is put it in a heavy plastic bag along with a rag for the grease. Would like to use my new drill on the leveler now. Don,t know if this will be a problem?
 
   As for the Colemen coffee pot, was the coffee good because of the coffee pot or you were just using Green Mountian Coffee? Just kidding![]
 
   Asking about back problems  on another thread, we decided to buy a king air mattress. After setting up in the trailer, we decided to bring it back and try the egg crate foam both top and bottom. This is yet to be tested.
 
  So bottom line here is that I really think you are on track here.. Good Camping!
