Hope you enjoy the pics.
Notice how the same angle shots of my campsite have different backgrounds? That's because in 7 days I had to set up in 3 different campsites.
But no worries. With my attached canopy, changing campsites is never easier. I just push in the adjustable hitchbars that the canopy is attached to and then extend them out again. You should have seen how many people were standing in the road watching me drive from one end of the campground to the other.
I took a pic of me making the final switch which was incredibly RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. Here I am moving from campsite 157 to 156.
I don't have or need power and there is no electric at Carlsbad anyway. But what to do for a good smoothie? GSI Vortex manual blender is the answer. It's been serving me up delicious smoothies for quite a few years now.

Gotta have a shower as well, I sweat too much with my workouts not to have one on my trips. The Zodi Extreme has become my absolute favorite. I like using the Extreme much better than their Hot Camp Instant Shower.
The last campsite I was in was actually at the very end of the campground. The wind coming up the bluff was unblocked and pretty strong. Funny, the campsite next door that I had just moved from had no wind at all. No problem, I just used my tow vehicle in a configuration to make a protected U shape and set the campsite back about 15 ft from the fence.
It got a little cold at night but the Mr. Big Buddy Heater worked great. The key is to have a canopy above it to trap the heat. I place it under my aluminum table and the table acts as a radiator and spreads the heat.
I met a fellow teardropper with a nice vintage tear:
Yup, "life is good" and there are "no bad days" when you're teardrop campin'.
See ya down the road.
