Finally taking the travel trailer out for the inaugural run this weekend. Only going about 15 miles down the road to a small park on a lake. I spent Monday evening going back over all the appliances and stuff on it making sure I understood how to use it all (and verifying everything worked).
Last night, we went out and started making beds and moving all our camping gear from tent-camping into the trailer. Also made a small Amazon list of stuff missing (tp holder, towel holder, etc).
With the exception of food, I think we're good to go. I'm sure once we get settled, we'll find other things we missed or need. Part of the reason I picked this spot is there's a Walmart close by we can run to if needed. I also picked it because we've done day trips to this park, so I know the roads in/out.
Only downside is it looks like the weatherman is predicting triple digits each day. I think that guy needs to be fired. The AC was blowing cold last night while we were setting up the trailer, so we should survive. I need to go grab our oscillating fan so we can have a breeze outside, even if it will feel like a blow dryer.
Assuming all goes well, I'll start planning the rest of our trips for this year when we get back.
