Maiden Voyage!



We have a new set of wheels in the Roberts house and this weekend we took our new little abode out for her first spin in the wild west! We could not have begun to imagine the adventures the weekend would hold for us! We loaded up the RV and set our course for the Chiruchuas; Bonita Canyon to be exact. Set up was tricky...the only site left was more than a little bit unlevel. But we made it. And then the set up from there was a piece of cake. It's amazing how much easier and faster it all goes when it's just all built in right there for you! We camped Friday and Saturday night and then broke camp and headed home early Sunday morning. Lot's of adventures heading home. For starters...we couldn't tell if the ball was really settled into the hitch. We finally decided it was and went on to install the tension control bar....when Chris realizes that he has lost the pins for it. Grrrr. What was really aggravating was that this has happened before! He takes the pins out to unhitch...lays them on the back bumper. And then they are GONE! "It's just a couple of dollar pins. No big deal." he says! Only now...we don't have the tension control for the trailer. I point out that we DID just pay $400 for this set up to safely and comfortably tow this RV around. Of course...I'm immediately shot down as having NO clue what all that stuff does. I returned to my dear hubby that if it was all so overrated and unimportant...then WHY DID WE JUST SPEND $400 ON IT?????????? Ah. The adventures of family camping! Little did we know that the morning would only get better from there!
