Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I,m in the prosses of putting the water and LP hookups in and I cant find any "all in one " type LP and water hookups . I see Camp-inn has one that you can hook every thing to and I,m not sure need that much or how much $$ they are. Any help finding this would be a godsend.

Not sure what you are asking...... usually LP gas and water are separate systems and not usually bunched together .....

Kinda reminds me of a feller I worked with. I was in the process of eating lunch and pulled out a thermos of hot chocolate and poured a cup. He looked plumb startled and stammered whats that ? I answered hot chocolate. He said no that pointing to the thermos. That's a thermos bottle.What's it do he asked dead serious. I replied it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. He wanted to know where to find one so I gave him several options. On Monday saw him at lunch and he had the biggest damn thermos I ever saw. I jokingly ask him what's that He replied my new thermos. I then jokingly ask what it did. He replied it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. I then asked what he had in it. He replied chicken soup and iced tea.

P.S. No it did not have 2 compartments !

The LP/City Water Hookup option is an in-house design used on our teardrops. I am not sure if it is being offered as parts or a kit at this time. However, I would email Cary [email protected]
Tell him exactly what options you want/need (LP, city water, pitcher fill, water out, etc) and he will be able to tell you if it is something you can purchase as well as answer questions you might have.

Hope this helps.

Uh, Betsy? Aren't you married to Cary? Can't you just look over to where he is sleeping in front of the T.V. and ask him?

(Or is he your brother in law ???)

You can find specialty connectors at a place that makes hoses. Recently I went to a company that will make hoses that will with stand pressure (water, air or gas). They had every type of connector imaginable, and while browsing the bins, it reminded me of the Camp Inn set up.

With a little planning you could find almost any kind of connector there. I was lucky, because "Mr. Hose" is about two blocks from my work. I drive past it every day, and decided to stop in. Just think of the connectors as quick connectors that will withstand pressure. Depending on where you live, there may be a business in your area.

Here are two examples that are in my area, Long Beach, CA

Cuyeda-Yes this is the unit I am looking for, Even if I could find the black plastic insert alone I can put my own hoses thru it and make my own door for it.

The thing is ,I dont need the fittings all I need is the box that holds everything.

Scott,

We can set you up with what you need if you want. That black plastic piece is our design and it is molded for us so we would be the only source. You probably would want the SS door too I would think.


John,

No, Betsey is not married to me. She's Craig's wife. As you know I am kind of on the skinny side. I wouldn't be if I was married to Betsey, man can she cook.

Thanks for the compliment, Cary.

So, John, I think Cary cleared up that bit of confusion.

But as far as sleeping in front of the T.V., Craig rarely even watches so much as a movie (we only get 3 stations anyway), as he usually doesn't get home until 7:30 or 8:00 and spends the rest of the evening (and a bit of the wee hours of the morning) working on stuff. I find it easier to call him at work when I want to ask him about something.

Wow! that is so nice to make that item available. I shot the picture because I liked the set up also. I knew the molded plastic was a Camp-Inn specialty item, and to make it available to others here makes it even more special!

When I finally get around to building a teardrop, I will be calling you folks for a few things, i.e. molded sub-box for storage or tire carrier.

Sorry to take so long to get back ,out of town.
Cary is it difficult to install?

That depends on how hard you want to make it. If you buy it complete from us the plumbing will be all attached, you just need to hook up your lines. If you want to come up with your own connectors you might have a a couple of weeks of head scratching. As for installing, it involves a couple of cuts with a router on the side of the trailer. We will give you a paper template of the template you can cut out of a piece of scrap plywood. Once the opening is cut, you just put a beand of silicone in the opening and push the plastic part in. Then apply another bead of sealant over this and screw the SS door on over it.

Cary

OK , I guess the next question is how much $$ with all the connectors and all?

$250
