Tips 4 new & old camper

[ronerjones]

4th trip out and still learning but here are a couple things I have picked up on so far. First, thanks to this forum for all of the encouragement, tips, and plentiful amount of information.

1) Towel rack:
I went to Home Depot and got everything I needed for a simple storable towel rack that does not leave your camp site looking like the local laundry-mat. First stop inside garden where they sell the tiki oil and torches they sell a small steel steak that hammers into the ground $3.00 it will accept the PVC pipe and screw down to secure it (best part when you store it just loosen the screw and slide the steak up on the pipe)

As newbies ourselves, thanks for the tips!  I print these out and leave them for DH to see.  It is fun to see what others have done to make life a bit easier in the pup.

We've owned our pop up for 10 years and tent camped for 10 before that. I'm still learning. Camping takes practice and the more you go camping the better you will become.

I use a drying rack similar to this to keep the kids from hanging their towels on the support posts for the beds.  It seems to keep the camp site a little more organized.

I like the bike rack.  I knew it could be done.  I wonder if you could make some hooks that slip under the roof before closing it, instead of going around the entire camper?

Good tip on the shammy cloth.  I'll be throwing a few in today.  
I have the sixnall bike rack as well.  It seems to work pretty good and I did not have to put holes in my camper roof!  It takes about ten minutes to put it on the roof, load it with bikes, and secure it.  The best part is not having to remove the front wheels and store them.  Happy camping!  Jake
