Camper pictures
Well, we went to Given's Hotsprings to test out the new camper a couple weekends ago. We wanted to go somewhere close and with water and A/C hook ups, and that had swimming.
It went pretty well, but...
...we had a couple minor hic-ups. The water pump was broken and leaking, but Bodily RV fixed it that morning for us. Then the filter wasn't working and it took a long time to figure out why nothing would come out of the faucets (it had worked fine while de-winterizing it). Then, the A/C hookups were WAAAAY under powered (they were using the normal 15A household plugs, but had 30A breakers on them...and looked like they had been on fire a couple times...grin), and so, they wouldn't run the microwave or air condition. The microwave would turn, and the light would come on but no fan or heat. Weird. The air-conditioner would kill power to everything.
The furnace fan is pretty noisy at night, and the short queen is...short. Dropped Brady on his head in his portable child seat from the slide out dinning seat. He was not too pleased about that. The grill is pretty weak, but should do the job. I wish we had more exterior accessible storage area.
It was easy/quick to pack up and leave though...
We also got right at 7 mpg and were passed on a windy 2-lane road by a fully loaded semi-truck...grin. Poor truck doesn't quite have enough to pull this beast.
Here are some pictures:
