First night went great! Bed comfortable, shower warm. Nothing collapsed inside on the trip over. :-)

Not only that but we had to give some of our friends ‘tours’ and one said it was her favorite camper.

I seem to have a problem. I noticed my battery wasn’t charging back up all the way according to my display. The only thing that has changed from before our trip is that the fan on the airhead composting toilet is running. It is a very small fan and the charger should easily overcome that drain. I wonder why it’s not charging all the way to 100% like it did before.

Check the grounds and for corrosion on the battery terminals.

Thanks Hank. Everything should be clean as it’s all pretty recent stuff. And it does charge up some. Just not all the way.

Checked my battery the other day and it was nearly all the way charged.

I pulled the trailer out today and we washed it. For the first time. Sprayed on top a bit while wife was inside and she didn’t see any water. We are camping tonight and have reservations for tomorrow night too but it appears there is 100% chance of rain so will probably come home tomorrow afternoon.

It rained. Fortunately we didn’t see any leaks. So that’s good. Enjoyed the trip camping with friends. Next trip is coming up!

4 nights in the trailer this week… rained one night and it was chilly outside. Seemed like everything worked pretty good.

We took the trailer to Guntersville AL over the weekend to camp with family. This trailer still works well! The mini split worked to keep us cool in the hot weather and the 12v fridge keeps groceries cold. But…. I am thinking of selling it and building an 8.5x24. I’d like a separate bedroom, a sofa or loveseat to sit on when it’s raining or hot/ cold outside and a washer dryer combo.

We bought our 7x20 through Renown. I’m wondering where to go for a new trailer. Their v nose has sharp corners and I’d like rounded corners on that. We like the v nose for storage and to run the lines through for the mini split. If I could come up with a hidden alternate route maybe we’d do flat front this time. Ideas on that?
