So, we had a great summer. This was our first adventure as fulltimers! The campground we workamped at was fantastic! Met great people, learned LOTS of tricks, heard LOTS of stories. Not without it's quirks, all went well! We left our summer home and started our trek south. Our plan is to stay at another campground just south of where we were for a few weeks, but keeping us in the area close to where our son goes to school. We arrived at our next destination on Oct 1st. I WILL NEVER FORGET. Pulled in, got to our site, unhooked and BAMMMM!!!! We were having some trouble getting the trailer to unhitch, kept pulling the pin and it would close again. Finally all looks good, he clears the hitch and yep...I forgot to put the tailgate down!!! OMG!!! Soooo...a smashed up tailgate, 5er fine, feelings hurt and embarrassment at peak levels (mainly for me). I thought for sure hubby would divorce me! LOL. Brand new truck, just 9 months old! BUT no one was hurt, I called Ford about 15 minutes after it happened and 3 days later...new tailgate..No problems!
So many lessons to be learned in the stories of fulltiming...we heard them all summer and of course a part of you says, "I will never do that". Oh yes, yes you will. We are certainly young enough that depending on how long we fulltime, I do not doubt for a second we will have so many more stories to tell!! I will just wait a few days/weeks/or months to ensure that they are truly funny when we tell them!
Happy travels all to your winter homes!
