I remember when we bought a pull behind camper once on a whim.  It was a fun little thing to use, but the only problem was that our car wasn't rated to tow it!  This might be a problem for you folks looking to get into camping this summer.  I thought I'd do a little research for you

Tis' the season to be grilling'.  And for those of you who don't mind the cooking, but hate the clean-up,  they have a gismo on the market called the "Grill Daddy".  Have you seen it on those infomercials?  I always wondered if it worked.   I bought one at Home Depot so you didn't have to.  Here's my video review.
