It's just a short 24 drive....... then over to Cleveland to visit family. Instead of sleeping in my parents attic on the rock hard bed using musty old wool blankets, we'll be parked out in their backyard in the trailer on memory foam with a duvet. Then down to visit friends on a farm in Kentucky, a night at Mammoth Cave National Park,then One night in a state park in little rock Arkansas, then home via Dallas/Fort Worth relatives. many miles in just 9 days. I will for sure let you know how it goes and post some pics. I am curious about if condensation will be an issue... will see!
can't wait!!! The one big problem is how to fit all the camping gear in the CRv on the way up! (After reading all the info on this forum, I had to buy An EZup from the local store.... bright orange to match the cargo lite, and only 49.99. Now how to fit it in the car,,,,

Gun Lake called Yankee Springs (two beautiful lakes, nice beach, very quiet the night we stayed). It was 41 degrees that Night and we were comfortable in the trailer with an extra blanket even with no heater. We had rassled a memory foam pad on top of the 4-piece foam pad, so we were plenty comfortable, There WAS an issue with condensation, even though I cracked the window, since it was so cold outside. I wiped off a few places around the windows, metal channels, etc, since they were a bit drippy. I am thinking that a little dehumidifier would be a good idea for cooler weather camping. The A/C would take care of the humidity in summer months. Besides that, LOVE it!!! It pulled really well with our little CRV and I didn't notice it was there except for a big orange blob in my rear view mirror instead of seeing cars , though the mileage dropped from 33 mpg to 25 mpg or so pulling it at 65-70 mph. We did take off the front spare wheel to reduce the tongue weight, and stored it in our tow vehicle. (I need to figure out how to weight the tongue!). Fit and finish was good, though there was one screw in the inside window trim that hadn't been screwed in, so we grabbed a screwdriver and took care of it. I see a couple of places where I may add a little more urethane sealant or whatever kind of sealant they use on RV's. We are now "camping" for two nights in my parents backyard (temperatures in the 40s again!) and set up under our bright orange EZ-up in case it rains. Heading down to Kentucky, Mammoth Caves, Iittle Rock in a few days. I will post some pictures when we get home. With our one night in the state park, we had three different people come up and ask to see our trailer and tell us how CUTE it is. I can tell that this will be an ongoing...problem? Benefit? Chance to meet people?
