Sorry this is late in coming, but things have been a bit hectic the last few days. You see, we actually did it. We packed up the camper and hit the road. We left Northern Virginia on Friday, April 22 and headed South. Granted we only went 80 miles or so, but it was our inaugural run and we were spending Easter weekend in the Richmond area with family.
There was a bit of rain and wind, so that set my nerves on edge a bit at first. As we got further and further down the road, I got more and more comfortable. Parking was quite easy considering how long the camper / truck combo is and that it was almost dark. Unfortunately, we had a malfunction while trying to unhook the camper from the truck, so family had to rescue us and take us to get a part to help us unhook. Of course, I'm thankful that we didn't go so far away that we didn't have that option.
The last few days have been spent visiting with family, but today the grandparents are going to take the kids for the day so that hubby and I can fix a few more issues with the camper that we've found now that we're living in it.
Tomorrow, we will be off yet again, heading even further South. All in all, I can't complain about our inaugural run. Glad it was short, and glad there is family in the area to help us work through some of the issues we've found.
