Thought i just post on my first two trip in the camper.
We took it out on a 300km trip up north. The trip went well, better then expected really. The WDH and airbags made the ride pretty comfortable. Had no trouble pulling a 29' trailer behind a 1500 dodge. Gas mileage was decent i suppose. Used 3/8ths of a tank to travel approx 300km, the trucks reading was 20L/100km. Pretty respectable i guess.
The levelling was a real pain in the rear. We parked in a friends felid and was not level. After a bit back and forth, and different thickness of wood blocks, we got her to sit level. Everyone loved the remote control slide outs and stabilizers. Especially me.
After filling my fresh water tank, almost killing my friends well pump, we were all set. Ran the trailer a day and half off the battery, after that, I ran it off the truck battery. We weren't running much, but the lights and water pump but it drained it pretty quick. My outside speaker don't seem to work, going to do a couple more test before i make an issue out of it. Found out the hard way the grey and black tanks were incorrectly labelled. One drawer bottom in the kids room came off. Other then that, everything went great.
Still doing a couple of modifications, ie. quick battery swap out, bbq quick connects and prepping for a solar system. The trailer is well equipped as is and we loved dry camping in it
The wife is calling glamping, i call it a place to crash after the beers are gone.
Thanks for all the advice and info from everyone. This forum has proved to be a great resources for info and advice.
