There will always be things that pop up and need to be addressed. You are driving a house over rough roads. Learn how to maintain your camper and do preventive work on it too. Makeup a checklist or two for arrival and departure and maintenance checks. I've read "horror" stories about a lose drawer or misaligned door. Ugh!


Go have fun!
You bring up a good point. Towing any travel trailer on today's roads is very much the same as a S&B house enduring earthquakes and tornados every day. If it's raining, add in hurricanes and monsoons. Towing is not a "rolling box friendly" environment. It's truly remarkable that any RV will "stay together" the way they are used. Rather than "complaints about a loose drawer" it might well be "compliments" that the walls still are intact, given the potholes and undulations on every highway that we navigate at 65 MPH.
