We just got back home from a camping trip to Linville Falls Trailer Lodge Campground NC. It's close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. They have very clean and nicely maintained restrooms/showers! We decided to trailer a motorcycle, so the campground owner put us in a site with enough room for the CampLite TT, motorcycle trailer, motorcycle and both Tow Vehicles for no extra charge  8).

This was a spur of the moment trip since the high temps here at home have been from 95F to 100F. The high temps there were upper 70s to low 80s.

What is that thing sitting on a stubby tripod behind your motorcycle, a satellite dish? Does it fold up and how well does it work.

And BTW, go VStrom. been riding mine for seven years now.

David,

Thanks, It's a Wee and fine machine, as you already know!!!!! Could not find a seat my Wife liked
until having a Russel Day Long seat built. She Really Likes the Russel seat!

It's an old camera tripod with a HDB2X HD digital air antenna mounted. Made by Solid Signal,
http://www.xtremesignal.com/hdb2x.html, purchased off of Amazon! It works fine and easy set up/knock down
while camping. Our 2010 CampLite 11 did not have TV when purchased, so installed TV & antenna
cable later.

Had trouble getting my internet hot spot/laptop combo working while on this camping trip, finally got it
working a few minutes ago, using it right now for this post. Had to update settings, since I only use it a
few months a year while on long camping trips. Only pay for a couple months use per year, too. It worked
@ Buffalo Bill SP WY west of Cody WY last year.
Need to buy a smart phone, one day!
