This weekend, we went to Cochiti Lake. It is a small man made lake on the Rio Grande River, maintained by Corps of Engineers. We had a nice little site, but no view of the lake. It was our first back-in site. Only took two tries to park it. Power box was too far to reach with 30-amp cord so we had to break out the heavy duty extension cord and run on 20-amp. Too far to water connection too but we survived on fresh water tank. First trip to common dump station. A very good trip, after a rocky start when hooking up and broke my electric jack.

Cochiti Lake Site 27 is ours for the weekend.

I purchased the solar blankets at Bass Pro Shops for $8.00 each. It takes 2 to cover the front bunk (queen) and 1 for each of the back and side bunk. I purchase clips to hold them on from checker auto $.50 each. Whether it is Zion, Sedona, Laughlin, Death Valley or CA I always use them. You don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn because the sun is blazing through - it keeps the tent dark and cool. In the winter it keeps the heat in. Heated mattress covers become a must have in the winter. Dom

I have been working on a way to put a cover on the inside to block the light and in the mountains when its cold, keep the heat in. I am doing it more to keep it darker. I am trying to get a little creative so when I finish I will post some pics and let you know the outcome.

Have you tried to tint your windows? I have been thinking of doing that.

It's funny that you mention tinting. I have been wanting to tint my windows for over a year now. Is there anyone out there that has tinted them? Are there any downsides? I never thought about mounting from the inside but I will tell you that if you put them on the outside, you will notice an immediate difference! I was in Laughlin, NV 105 degrees and the air ran all day. It was a cool as a cucumber [emoticon]
