Have you read the owners manual?

Now on my third camping vehicle, started out with a small Mini Wini, then a 35 foot travel trailer, now in a 35 foot class A RV.  Camping is the life, you take you bed with you were ever you go, no more dealing with bug infested, smoke filled, dirty bathrooms hotel rooms.  It has been an experience learning how to drive or tow, and then parking or backing up has been a real learning adventure.

The Mini was only 23 ft long so it was like driving a larger van, no problem on the road or parking in a camp site.  Now the draw backs are it was so small we were always climbing over each other, but you certainly learned how to pack everything into every nook and cranny, the bad thing was if you needed something you would have to unload every nook and cranny to find what you needed.


Decided on getting something bigger and ran into a great deal, someone was selling a 35 ft travel trailer along with a f250 to tow it, now this is scary driving all this vehicle on the highway with other people, ugh!  Well I must have been a trucker in my other life because it wasn't to bad.. Yeah, that's what we all say until you drive on highways with nothing but potholes big enough to send you rolling on your side.. We were taking this monster on a long trip without realizing that we did not have all the parts hooked up to tow this 11,000 pound machine down the highways, we would hit a hole in the road and spend minutes trying to get straight again.  You would get worn out just driving 50 miles on these roads.  Finally we reached the state we were heading to only to get there late at night and get lost for hours even after stopping people to ask where the camp ground is.

Now the fun begins. And I will save this for my next post.  Happy camping
