    Hello...I am attempting to do this camping thing in a popup

    You for sure need a cord that will handle the load. Visit or call a camper dealer and ask. The AC alone will draw at least 20 amps.

    Tent Heaters

    The Coleman heaters were designed for tent use. The direction state that there should be openings for ventilation. People failed to heed that and therefore paid the price. I have used the Coleman fuel heaters but with the price of the fuel I switched to a Mr Heater propane.

    Camp kitchen (chuck box) options/suggestions

    I use the plastic bins too. not the greatest for organizing but keeps things dry and in one place. I have toyed with the idea of dividers but haven't gotten to it. I just deal with having to dig around for what I need.

    Taking Pets

    I don't mind pets if they are QUIET!!!! Hate those yapping mutts! I know it's in them to do it but it can be controlled or they shold be left at home! Oh and most owners don't clean up behind thier pets. That really gets me. Go to set up tent and find that Fifi has left a present for...

    Do YOU have to have the best equipment for camping/hiking? Opinions...

    I second Coz's reply. Buy what you can afford but look at intended use and how often it will be used. Just because it cost the most doesn't always mean it's better for a particular job than a less expensive model. Much of my gear is Coleman and I know how many of you feel about it. It fit's my...
