In the books - our first camping trip with our new travel trailer!
Some thoughts…
We need better camping chairs to sit outside - the ones we have feel rickety and are too short for us.
Sleeping with both the AC units on is too loud! My husband figured out a way to make it work without being so noisy. Saturday night, I barely slept because of the noise. Sunday night, I slept great after he made some changes. We didn’t run the bedroom unit at night, we ran the living room unit.
I busted ass the whole time keeping the camper neat and clean. That makes it so much easier when we get ready to pack up to leave. Sweeping up all the sand and dirt is very important. Washing and drying dishes is also an ongoing chore. I think I need a better plan for dish draining.
I need to make sure we have extra hats.
The shoe situation starts to pile up outside the camper. Everyone takes their shoes off before entering the camper, so we end up with a pile of shoes. I need to work on a better way to work with all that.
Remember to pack more firewood instead of trying to gather wood! Remember to bring a big lighter - it’s a hassle to use a little BIC lighter!
I ordered an area rug for the living area - I hope it feels nice and looks nice. A rug will help with all the sand and dirt in general. I brought a bunch of small rugs with us for this trip - that made a huge difference. One big rug will do wonders.
I’m happy about packing all the beach towels - they were very useful. It’s nice to clear out linen closet space and move the beach towels out to the camper.
The campground didn’t have sewage at the space, but they did have a dump station at the front of the campground. Also, thankfully they had a community bathroom and shower area. Everyone was “allowed” to pee in the camper, but nothing else. I showered at the camp bathroom, but I forgot to bring conditioner. My hair is still angry. Stopping at the dump station was pretty good, it wasn’t traumatizing! LOL
Anastasia park was super nice. All the spots were back-in only, but with the cameras on the Lance, it was pretty easy.
