What a great trip! I stayed close to home, a state park an hour and a half away, and had a great time. The weather was incredible, the camper was perfect, and I wish I was still there sleeping on the banks of a river.
I made a list of things I need to take with me next time, and improvements to make to my camper, but so far so good. I am still lacking in galley organization. I need to figure that out a bit more. I think I'm going to save more spaces for groceries, etc. because I had so much "stuff" in my bins there was nowhere to put food, etc.
I also need a saw or hatchet and a few more camping supplies like that. But all in all, an amazing maiden voyage!
Now I get to plan my next adventure!

Anything above 50 Degrees F I don't even bother with a heater, just a decent sleeping bag. Condensation on the windows really not much of a problem, guess i had the vents open enough to compensate. Had a good time. Admit I slept in before attacking the day and did some left over office work before getting to the planned events for the day.

I have to be careful and keep my lead foot off the gas pedal---mine pulls light as a feather (with a Dodge Dakota) and I'll forget she's back there! Took us a couple of trips or so, with a lot of note taking to figure out the logistics of what to take and where to keep it in the trailer. Everything has it's place now, and with the laminated print out of our camping list, it's easy to make sure we're ready to go--no more forgetting stuff!
Happy teardrop trails to you!

I have since been to one gathering down in the Arizona desert. Now already planning a long trip (2 weeks) to Alabama Gulf Coast in May. Doesn't take much to get the "bug."
Good luck to you in all of your travels and may the weather always be perfect!!!!
