New Camper

[rushing]

We are purchasing a new camper for our trip in May. We are so excited, it's an Outback TT. Counting the days. :cheer2: It's a 312BH. The grandbaby needs his room.

[ftwildernessguy]

What kind of Outback are you getting? I just bought a 210rs.

[ftwildernessguy]

That's a big trailer. Pretty much just the wife and me and the dog now, so the 210should be big enough for us.

[rushing]

We'll get a smaller one when the kids and grandkids stop going.

[ftwildernessguy]

Does that have the outdoor kitchen?

[retired and happy]

There's always outside access to the bathroom if there's a tree around.:thumbsup2

Nothing more exciting than a new TT AND a trip to the Fort. You will have to be sure to post some pics! :cool1:

We are so excited about the new TT and the trip to the fort in May. It does have the outside kitchen, that is what my husband loves. He likes to cook when we're camping. Lucky me. I'll try to figure out how to load pictures.

[ftwildernessguy]

That's a really sweet floorplan with tons of room. Looks like it sleeps about 10! Just be sure Disney knows how big it is and doesn't try to stick you in some tiny spot across from a trash can and a fence.

[rushing]

Thanks, I'll try to remember that.

What is an outside kitchen? When I get my popup I want one with the stove that can be outside. I prefer to cook outside.

The outside kitchen is in the back of the outside of the camper, it has a door that opens up. The outback has a refigerator, stove, small sink, and a grill. The door swings upward so you have something like an awning. I hope that make sense.

Thanks, I looked it up. That is really neat. Even the outbacks that don't have the full outside kitchen still have the sink. If I could find a popup with the outdoor stove and sink, I would be happy.

Our 29BHS Ketstone has a small flip out which includes a sink and propane grill. It's also where you can hook up the outside shower. Just dawned on me that you could shower while you cook. It doesn't sound appealing to me, but you could ;). For any Seinfeld fans, you can propably appreciate the Kramer shower episode.

We have the small sink and propane stove outside in our Outback, too. I am working on connecting my propane grill to the tanks onboard , too.

On mine, there is a small gas hookup tucked under the TT right next to the steps.

yeah i have a new tt coming in on st pattys day. just totalled my older one with water damage on accident. it has the outdoor kitchen and i can not wait. we can cook everything outside instead of half being inside cooking and the other half being outside grilling. keeps the family together. mine is the 211 bhs keystone sprinter. can not wait to break it in at the fort

[thegooftroopfla]

also my camper is long also. i tell disney everytime about this and most of the time when i am not on a premium site i always have a very tight squeeze. i do not think they are so sympathetic. one time i complained because my trailer was backed over the coquina bed and up to a tree, and on the front there was not even room for a golfcart. they said if i wanted a bigger spot to pay for the premium so i have everytime since.

[thegooftroopfla]

also if this is your first time camping you want extra room so get the premium site. you want your first time to be easy and fun. and tight spots are tricky. i have been camping a ton and it takes some skill. get a big spot and then when you get better get the smaller ones

The problem is that is a low pressure hookup. I have one there, too, which is where the outside stove hooks into. To attach there, I would have to remove the regulator on my grill which I don't want to do. There is an attachment called a Stay Flow which attaches to the tank before the trailer regulator which allows you to attach a high pressure device like a grill to it. I can get a 12 foot LP gas hose which would allow me to connect to the tanks and still have the grill back away from the front of the trailer.

will that connect to a camp stove that takes the small cylinders? I always wondered if I could use a 20lb tank with my camp stove.

Actually, there are hoses that are made for this. You wouldn't need the expensive brass attachment I showed.
