The RakAttach is a great accessory for your receiver hitch and 5 years ago it was a one-of-a-kind product. At achieving its core function, to swing out and provide access to the back of our van, while being robust enough to hold 5 bikes – I give it a 10 out of 10. For longevity and quality of construction, I give it a 5 out of 10, due to coating issues.

I made my own handlebar mitts (pogies). I used 1.5mm neoprene, made my own template (PDF layout/instructions), and developed a working prototype in a couple hours. I am very pleased with the results and the bar mitts are quite effective at blocking the wind and making cold rides much more enjoyable. Total cost – about $15.

Having the Sprinter Van has gotten us a little further away from our small tent, large backpacks, ultralight camping stove, compact sleeping pads etc. This summer we have been enjoying the luxury of car camping and with that comes some fun car camping accessories that we have been getting a lot of use out of. Some of these items we have had for a long time (read: belonged to our parents before us). Other things we discovered just recently. Our top five car camping kitchen items include: two burner stove, roll-up table, camping fuel lantern, propane coffee maker, and cargo box.
