Our First Adventure

Our first adventure out was pretty good.  The trip to my Mom's took us about 2 hours since we didn't want to take the toll roads the entire way.

Kitchen/Dining Room

• I thought the LED bulbs were fine, Dear Hubby thought they were too dim.
• Refrigerator worked perfectly!

Bathroom

• Dear Hubby found the toilet had a sprayer.  Fancy!
• Girl M wants paper towels in the bathroom
• New shower head fixture-Oxygentics-Ordered & installed by Girl M! (Removed & re-installed by Dear Hubby because it leaked like crazy!!)

Bedroom

• Mattress topper -4" Memory Gel -slept wonderfully!
• TV & mount-ordered (Arrived after we left for our trip)

Outside

• Replace exterior water inlet/outlet fixtures-ordered (replaced)
• Decide if we want to add antenna-Ordered & installed.  We only received 5 channels but in Orlando we had 83 channels!  It works!
• Surge protector 30Amp-Ordered & currently using!

The drive over to my Mom's was a little nerve wracking, but the only thing that happened was two outside compartment doors came open, Girl M, jumped out and shut them and we were on our way again.  The locks are seized so I'm ordering a few new ones.

Getting set up in my Mom's yard was a little crazy with so many helpers.  The ground was very sloped and we ended up having to use long boards of wood to level the trailer.  We've decided to order the Tri-Lynx Leveler system bundle from Amazon.  Much lighter for me to help with and a smaller carrying area.

The first morning my Mom's husband came out and let us know that our hot water heater was watering his yard.  It did it to Girl M & I at the house but we tried to show Dear Hubby and it didn't do it again.  He ended up replacing the relief valve and we had hot water all weekend.

We really need to figure out the thermostat.  We froze to death the first night then the second night was much better.  We're thinking of just having a little digital thermometer near the thermostat so we know how cool it is in the camper.

For a  good laugh: We were trying to figure out all the switches in the kitchen.  There were two hot water switches and a switch we couldn't figure out.  We read owner's manuals, browsed the internet, read a couple threads and finally I asked Dear Hubby to turn it off and the overhead lights in the kitchen turned off!  We are geniuses!   We did figure out that two hot water switches in the kitchen.  One is for the LP and the other is electric.

The tow home was uneventful and our trip was great.  We really love the layout of the camper and everything so far works and is in great condition.  I joke with Dear Hubby that we got us a gold nugget here!

I am excited about our upcoming trip later this month.

Until next time..........
