Meet Haley the Camp-Inn 550 Ultra

Intro to our camper so we can do astrophotography in dark skies.

Nice Video, I have a 2018 560 Raindrop, love it!

[@DouglasBarnum]

Thanks. On a trip now. On my way home.

[@curbowman]

Thanks for this excellent video! One question: What is the little triangular thing right over the upper center of the window? I've never seen something like that.

[@DouglasBarnum]

I think you are referring the thing over the doors? Those are vents to mitigate condensation. The manufacturer says the cabin is tightly controlled that if you had the windows closed and tried to close the door you would have trouble because it is so air-tight. So the 2 vents are to fix that plus you do want airflow as the cabin needs to breathe.

Nice! if you stay at one place for a while. is there a way to charge the battery like with a small solar panel?

[@campinunderthestars7316]

Yes. I did not show it but there is an external solar panel hookup underneath the table that had the fridge. I have to figure out the wiring, the Camp-Inn people included documentation on how to do it. It can be up to a 200 watt panel I believe.

[@bazuelke]

Is it light enough you can move it around your driveway and garage by hand? Thanks

[@campinunderthestars7316]

Absolutely. It's 1250 lbs dry weight.

Is there a way to delete the air conditioner when ordering. I see how useful it would be on hot and humid days but, to me, it's sooo ugly! You can never NOT see it.🤣 Also, are the water tanks made of stainless steel or plastic?

[@DouglasBarnum]

The air conditioner is an option so no you don't have to get one. They say you can't add it later tho so just be sure. The tanks are plastic. 8.5 gallons each I think is the size.

[@davidhunternyc1]

@@DouglasBarnum Thanks for the info about the air conditioner. Hmmm... I can't imagine storing water in plastic tanks when it's hot outside, leaching chemicals into your drinking water. I also don't buy the whole "Tritan" plastic marketing term. The water tanks would have to be rethought before I purchased any trailer.

[@davidhunternyc1]

@@DouglasBarnum Oh, I have another question. Do you know anything about the Raindrop 560? On the videos I've seen, there's a fan in the middle of the ceiling. Could a stargazer roof be added in this area instead? Perhaps move the fan over to where the air conditioner is? Thank you.

show more of the outside thanks

Hi. It’s cold and snowy here right now. Check out the channel Playing with Sticks. Drew has a factory tour video that you can see, and it’s shown by the owners of Camp Inn. You will enjoy it.
