Bought My Trailer

Picked up my travel trailer today (photo.) I need to get it level but it's only here temporarily. I'm taking off on Sunday to Oregon for the week. It's my maiden voyage and I'll learn the trailer well on this trip. It's colder where I'm going so, I'll be able to test the heater out well. Today was picking up my trailer, buying supplies, beginning to load the trailer and relaxing watching some TV. I hope you all had a great day. I'll be catching up with you all soon.

@noni1959 Do you have someone travelling with you or are you going solo?

@flapiz I'm solo. I'm on the trip now. I came to my old house property to stay a couple days. I leave Saturday. I was in a RV park before that had the worst WiFi ever.

How exciting!! I'm looking forward to reading more and more. I would love to get something like that, but I'm not wanting to have to buy a big truck, too. I am not sure I could handle the truck alone, aside from pulling the trailer! Be safe, my friend. Looking forward also to when you make your way up north. Hugs.

@noni1959 there are several state parks out here in Kitsap area and some of the other counties in the peninsula area. I hope you're able to find something, because I will come visit!

@TheSojourner I filled out a lot of the forms tonight to print, sign and upload when I get back to Washington. I have the SW Region - North on the form as my first choice. That has Kitsap area, Olympic Peninsula, and South Sound area. We'll see if I get anything this late applying. It would be great to visit!

I think once I'm stopped and hooked up tomorrow night, I'll relax more. I'll be doing all the hook ups alone. I can do it but worry I'll miss a step. It's been a long time since I have owned a trailer.

@LadyDuck Have you ever driven or something you didn't want to? My maternal grandma never wanted to learn. She was content being a ranch wife and riding as a passenger.

That looks nice, hope your maiden voyage goes well and you don't find too many little glitches (there are bound to be some!) By the way that's what we (in the UK) call a caravan.

I thought that was what a caravan is. I hope I remember to put the plug back in the hot water tank before turning it on. That is the main worry. Putting the septic hose in is a bit worrisome since it's under the rig and hard for me to bend down.

They remind me of the Tehachapi hills going up the 58 or surrounding Bakersfield, Taft etc. This is in Prosser, Washington. Some people don't realize Washington, the green state, has a desert side.
