Our next trip is planned for 11/30/15 - 12/3/15. We have campsite # 052 reserved for three nights at St. George's Island State Park. This will be our first actual pull with the new truck (described in an earlier post) and I believe this will be a very improved pull over the old Jeep Grand Cherokee--plenty more power, longer wheelbase, etc., etc..
The plan is to pull the trailer out of the storage facility Saturday, 11/28/15 and bring it home to prep it for the trip. Part of the prep includes checking all the systems to make sure all is okay, draining the fresh water tank and filling it about a third full, since although we will have electric and water hookups at the campground we always like to carry a little of our own water "just in case." Of course, we will also stock it with food, clothes, etc.
I have a Truxedo Low Pro QT Tonneau cover ordered for the new truck. Besides protecting stuff in the truck bed from the elements it's supposed to also increase fuel economy by 5%-10%. It is supposed to arrive this week.
I also ordered a small electric heater to use in the trailer. Since we will be paying for the electrical hookup at the campground anyway we might as well do any heating using it instead of burning our propane by using the trailer's onboard furnace, should we need any heat.
Anyway, we will have it all ready to hook up and head out Monday morning fairly early. More to come.
