Having had the travel trailer only a few weeks I was excited about this maiden voyage. I had done all the things a newbie does buying the needed accessories and then some I didn't.
I thought I would get the routine ironed out by my self this time making it more enjoyable and less stressful for when the wife went along.
I double checked everything not wanting to make a mistake and soon I was on the road. I choose a campground not far away on this trip, the focus being getting familiar with the set up and all the procedures. The trip to the campground was uneventful and even backing into the campsite went well. I'm not a newbie backing up trailers and equipment, my construction job had afforded me the opportunity many times.
"I was going to come and offer you an extra set of eyes but evidently you've done this a time or two. So I'll offer a beer instead". With that Rick held up a bottle of craft beer which I was glad to accept.
"While this is the first time out with the travel trailer, I have backed a few trailers over the years. I just retired and the wife and I are looking forward to doing some traveling. I wanted to get the routine down before she came with". I figure it will make it less stressful for her if I know what I'm doing when she comes along."
"That's a great idea." A woman's voice said from around the corner of the RV. Rick's wife soon rounded the corner and held out her hand and introduced herself . "I'm Brenda." I briefly shook her hand noting how small it was even for a woman that couldn't be even five feet tall.
