Wife and I just finished our maiden voyage in our new to us  '08 26' R-Vision trailer.
Yukon TV pulled the trailer with ease up 6k ft elevation to Pinecrest, CA campground.
Was a very relaxing two days and after a couple a couple of minor "tweak fixes", we'll be heading out again soon, maybe towards Pacific Coast Highway.

I was fortunate to have fixed the couple minor glitches.
The first was connecting the 12v wire under the hood that provided 12v power to the 7 pin connector that's needed to pair the wireless brake controller.

The second was tracing which overhead light that caused the fuse to trip.  It was the bathroom light that had small dead bugs under the lens.  Cleared the bugs, cleaned the lens and replaced the bulbs and fuse.  All three lights on that circuit now works.

Third was the water flow.  Operator error (me) caused the problem.  Got home and filled more water in the tank. I thought I had enough water in the tank before leaving.  All three faucets now has strong water flow.

Cause of the three problems were identified and fixed before lunch all under the watchful eyes of Chola. 


Now the wife is fixing Pizza Burger for lunch chased with Coors Light then a nap  ;) .

Life is great  ;D .

Hey Kev, it's really beautiful at Pinecrest.  I just reserved another couple of days in October and my daughter and SIL also booked a space near us.  Those campsites book fast.

As mentioned, we returned to Prinecrest campgounds located in the CA national forest. Beautiful scenery driving up to the 6K ft elevation. 
Eldest daughter joined the wife and I but unfortunately my other daughter and SIL had to cancel due to their work load.
Very relaxing trip.
BTW really loved the way the trailer handled around tight curves with Hensley hitch.
Next camping trip will be at Bodega Bay in the second week of November shortly after the start of the Dungeness crab season.
