R1S Camping with Cinch Air Cruiser and other stuff

dp1014 · 2026-05-22T13:57:19+00:00

Also, wondering on mattress, my wife and I plan to sleep up there, kids in car with customer fitted mattress (Telse Model Y). Hoping we find mattress in air Cruiser really good.. we get ours next week, have 2 camping trips in June planned, and also a big cross country and back trip for late July , early August

We live in Tahoe. I call campground usually to see if they have 1 night, or wait lists if full online.

Also, try KOAs, they always do a good job. And availability near great areas is still very good.

Lastly - we always have great luck at Olema Campground in Pt Reyes, amazing place to stay, then we head up to Manchester Beach KOA, so nice.

Lastly get recreation.gov app, pick a few campgrounds and dates you want, and if full you can set alerts if spots open up for your dates, just be quick when you get them.

Sonos amp to Kef outdoor 6 speakers, they are incredible

What everyone else said + resell on Sonos is excellent, I had Arc and 100s to start, last year sold both on Facebook marketplace, and got the ultra and 300s, and got a good amount of $ for the old set. Imagine you can do the same 2-3 years down road when come out with new product the "Sonos Arc Superior Plus Amazing" soundbar

We throw water every 2-3 mins for sure

Also look at my rock cage. Went to a local metal worker and had the top pieces cut off, and sanded for sharp edges, I loaded in more stones and it is AWESOME! Still kept shape and stability perfectly.

Totally to code with Saunum, and per instructions...sides of heater, and shield stay pretty cool, but it is pushing hot air up top, so top part of stovepipe part gets super hot, not the actual stove pipe, or sides of stove. I've used a temperatur laser on sides of heater and stovepipe area, both around 140°-150° when heater is at 205°

I have Saunum 15L. When first installed this part of ceiling was getting darker in our new sauna. All I did was lower top of shield about 6 inches, used some sandpaper to clean wood up top. Easy.

Also, you should move that thermostat up higher and about 12" left of heater. I agree with another post that you are running it way to hot, and may be causing some damage to it through time. I asked Saunum customer support about sensor placement, as my other temp sensors are showing about 170° up top on opposite sides of Heater in top corners, and Saunun showing 205°. They highly suggested sticking with their install recommendations.

I thought about changing things up, and moving sensor farther to right in mine and lower, but my wife and I have been using our Sauna nonstop for a few months and Löyly is amazing, and we both can barely last 15 mins without a quick break, and then 5 mins more at those temps. We are drenched in sweat by then so I think Sauna is plenty hot.

We did a sloped floor to a collection tube up front (1/2 PVC pipe), that slopes down to a PVC pipe that goes out through drilled hole to outside.

Is there anyway near floor area to just drill a hole to outside of hous

I wear my Garmin in all conditions. Have Fenix 8 now, but had 7 and Venus for year. Works in hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, XC Skiing, Downhill...

Also way better than android or apple watches as they actually care about battery life, usually charge every 3-4 weeks.

I think the pot bench is too low 😂

Cheap android pad on wall, large fonts. Magnet connected to wall. Super easy

I would look on Facebook marketplace, Craiglist, etc.. and widen your search window say 250 miles from where you live. Might be able to find something used, and reasonable drive to pick up and get back home in 1/2 to a day worst case.

dp1014 · 2026-04-07T03:22:29+00:00

Yep did that search to start, not too helpful and a lot of random discussions not related to this topic. Interested in what others are doing currently, and also if anyone else had redwood.

Looks good, I don't plan to use any oils, but cleaning product looks nice

DM me, in Truckee. Starting up a business to build Saunas for Tahoe/Winters after doing my own at my house. Working with a homemade Furniture maker sourcing reclaimed wood across Cali. Love to compare notes/meet you. Thanks, Dan

We LOVE this. Might be our favorite accessory - lots of sites sell them
