A BLAST~! Just a short drive up to Temecula, to the Galway Downs Equestrian Park, off the 79 (for those of you who know where that is). Took me about an hour to get there from San Diego. The trailer pulls great! The hills and a few big rigs slowed me down, but I made it with no trouble. Since I was alone, I was hoping that my 3 friends would be there before me, but no such luck. However, luck WAS with me, as I was able to find a Pull Through spot so that I didn't have to back up. I was able to park "fairly" well and waited for my friends. The got there about 30 minutes after I did. We got their horses unloaded then setup the trailer. Everything worked GREAT! Heater, fridge, the slides, all the lights. The water heater!!! Ya know, I was afraid that I'd be reall cold taking a shower where you had to wet down, turn off the water, soap up then rinse off, but I wasn't cold at all! And the cut off at the shower head is great, so that you don't have to waste water while you get your mixture right again. On the last night, we even watched a DVD movie,, surround sound was pretty cool !!!
On the last Morning, it was time to dump the tanks. Thank Goodness, one of my friends had done this with her parents RV, so she was able to help me. Okay,, that did NOT go exactly as planned. WOW,, what a STENCH. However, my friend did say that it's NOT normally that smelly. At most RV parks, you can hook up as soon as you get there, so you don't have to dump everything at once, plus this place didn't have a great setup, as there was some,, Umm,, leakage.
Got the trailer home just fine. Once my sister got home from work, she was able to help me back up into our driveway. I found a new way to do that too. Our neighbors across the street were gone that day, so I drove straight into their driveway, from the street, and by the time I hit the end of their driveway, the rig was almost straight. Made backing into MY driveway (which is directly across the street from my neighbors) MUCH easier!
I can't wait to go again, except that today, I'm recharging the battery,, I went out to check the trailer today and didn't have any lights. Seems I left just ONE light on! Ooops. Just KNEW I was going to forget something! Oh,, on the way home, I also forgot to secure the sliding door (between the bedroom and kitchen area). Shoot! No damage, thank goodness, but I'll have to remenber to put that on the checklist!
