Thanks, Mike, Larry, & Becky!
Yes, I had a good time but had sweaty palms coming home though...still learning things about towing, especially backing up!. :roll:

Hey Sharon!

Congratulations on the first camp-out! The camper looks great! Awesome too, that you got it done for this season - Our campers are both Class of 2011! It made my day to see pictures of it in the campground environment! Well done and congrats!

Time to change your signature tagline from "I think I can, I think I can" to "I knew I could, I knew I could!"

When backing up ,use your mirrors not the back window. ;) A little practice and it will become second nature!

Hi Sharon,

ATTAGIRL!!! What A Great Accomplishment!!!

The "MyAway" looks fantastic! I like the choice of the sky blue paint
for your ceiling and lift top panels. It's expansive and subtly happy (!).
It also compliments the interior wood really well. Your great interior finish
details 'punctuate' your TTT 'composition' delightfully.

I had forgotten that you have two doors. They're a tremendous safety
feature in a small TD/TTT I think. I'm glad you broke the "usual" think
pattern in a TTT and included the extra door. It's just so evident when
seen, that, that is the smart thing to do.

Now, you'd better get a sling for your arm to rest in, because you NEED
to be patting yourself on the back for all your efforts!!!

Good to hear your first trip was so successful.

May the Blue Bird of Happiness nest in the "MyAway", and accompany you
both on your travels.

Cheers,
Norm/mezmo

Sharon,

Your "MyAway" finally got away to it's first campground. Stunning is the word that first comes to mind! She looks great with your tow vehicle but even better at the campground. Give yourself a big pat on the back for me.

Take care,
Tom

8) It was a pleasure and delight to get to see your trailer up close. I really liked the floor pattern and "cathedral" ceiling. Keep in touch!
