First trip out

[Triplespool]

Well here we go, everything packed (I hope). I'm sure that we forgot something.
I will let you all know how it goes......

Have a great time and enjoy. If you did forget anything, you can usually work around it.

There is always Walmart. Good luck.

Have a great trip! We always forget something.... last time it was my pillow.

Have a great trip. We've been rv'ing for many years and each time I still forget something....

It's a running joke with us that there seems to always be a Walmart trip while we are camping. Just never forget a swimsuit during Labor Day weekend. They are impossible to find in September.

If you're not too bashful, you can always just go skinnydipping

Well you guessed it.... forgot the coffee pot But a 25 mile trip to walmart and that problem was solved. As far as the TT goes we are loving it.. I have only found 1 issue that needed fixed asap. The shower was leaking , someone forgot to caulk around the base of the glass on one side. So at walmart I picked some up with the coffee maker. When we get back going to look into getting better stabilizers. Have 4 rated at 2500 lbs but they are very flimsy. Going to look into a set of 6000 lbs jacks. It has rained everyday off and on but this place is great for kids. Will try to upload some pics. Thats all so far.....
Oooh I forgot to mention I love the outside grill..

We have learned it's much easier to just buy double of everything and leave the camper stocked, the only thing we pack are clothes. What does that mean for us? When we make the walmart run for the things we forgot, we just need to get toothbrushes, dog and cat food. Of course, we could make that list smaller if we forgot to bring the cat and dogs. I don't think there has ever been a trip that something hasn't been forgotten.

Well I have tried and tried to upload pictures, but they will not load. Sorry

Agreed, we are going to do just that

when we go to the coast, it's always a run to Walmart on day 1.
When we camp inland, it's always a trip to Bi-Mart (local membership variety store) on day 1.

Happy camping!!

We have double of most all the essential items. We load the trailer at the beginning of the season and then we just have to pack clothes, perishables, load the fridge with adult beverages and food, dog food and any special items we might be taking and we are ready to go. I only unpack the canned goods and bathroom items for the winter. Everything else stays in. I call it my cottage on wheels.

Hope you enjoyed your trip. I would have been besides myself if I had forgotten the coffee pot. No Walmarts near the areas we camp. I have two coffee pots in the trailer....a camping percolator and a 5 cup electric for those times we camp with power.

Not sure about the caulking on the shower. There are areas around the tub that are not supposed to be sealed. There has been several discussions on this topic in the forum.

Added a couple of pics to my first post. Finally uploaded pics. My boys wanted to sleep in the tent, they have twin air mattresses so they said they was roughing it... lol
