Someone a couple of weeks ago mentioned about a camper caddie on ebay, so I got curious about what it is. Do people have it and is it worth it to watch out for it. I can't tell how big the pouches actually are and if it helps with storage in the pup. Also, I have a starcraft, I assume I can use it even though it is for a fleetwood. What's the opinion out there??

I love my caddie, I have only had it for about a year, but I love that I can take it with me when we close up the PU. It makes packing for clothes much easier. Of course I don't place bathroom items in it, just clothes and towels. Keep watching ebay, I spent the 200+ dolllars for the package which was the caddie, the two light fan combos and the vanity mate. I would not hesitate to do it all over again. Good luck on finding one, I know the local fleetwood dealer had one clearanced one time.

We may not have much.... But together we have it all.....

MFOX, for two people on a weekend, a camper caddie is great. It has just the right amount of space for clothes, PJ's, under wear, toiletries, meds/first aid kit, and space to keep keys and cell phones & chargers. The two things I like about it is that it does restrict what you can take and you know where everything is.
Fleetwood Evolution E3 - Yellow (DW let me get a Yellow one since she wanted an E3 with a slide out )
Hummer H2 - Black (DW vetoed the Yellow one, but I got two Yellow Hummer Folding Mountain bikes )
I have found that the Camper Caddie is just like Marmite/Vegemite.
Either you love it, or hate it!
If you are not familiar with Marmite/Vegemite, it's a salty tasting British/Australian condiment brewing-yeast-byproduct that's spread on toast or used in cooking recipes. Yum!
They are about 35" wide and as long as a bunk curtain. It's typically mounted on one end of the roof allowing easy access in and out of the bunk. However, some folks mount them on a side wall location if it's not blocking a window.
The typical complaints are that it blocks light, or that it's too small. Well, yes! It does indeed block light, and it's too small for an entire family of six! My family of four uses it successfully and happily for two night weekend trips, plenty of storage. If you strategically mount it where you would normally use a curtain, than the light blocking is a non issue.

To illustrate what Carlos just said, here is a picture of my Camper Caddy in the PUP. I have contemplated moving it to the canvas which is right beside it.
