California Bear Country

Hi, I am new to camping in bear country with a T.T. Camped for years without one. Used bear boxes and stored all dry goods in bear box or completely out of sight and smell. What is common practice with T.T. can I keep dry goods in storage cabinets and use Refrigerator and freezer? I don't want the door ripped off of the T.T. like they do all the time with cars. Any experience and feed back in this would be helpful . Thanks

You can keep all your food and stuff locked in the TT. just make sure to close all the windows when you are not in camp. Even Yosemite allows this.

Also I've read on this site that you do NOT cook inside of the TT in bear country.

Thanks for your comments! Wasn't sure about T.T.'s and the bears. Knew you never cook inside. I know from experience that you finish dinner before dark and be sure all is put away. At dusk the boys & girls start looking for freebies. It is fun to sit back and listen to other campers trying to keep the bears away while eating.
