Dual axle or single?

1) Pull with the right size truck.
2) Never ever, buy a new camper.
4) Must have air conditioning, to include a vent in the ceiling (heat is in the floor) in the master bedroom!.
5) Master bedroom must be able to be closed off from the living area.
6) Lay down in the bed before you buy! The end of the bed to the wall in our camper is 6' 2". I am 6'1".
7) Never let your father in law help you back in your space.
8) The longer the camper the more spots you cant fit in. Some places are designed by some real jokers.
9) Buy a 30/50 amp extension cable. Try finding one at 1am when you realize the power pole is on the opposite side and your cable will not reach.
10) Buy the surge protector that plugs in the power box then to your cable.
11) Always carry a tool box, spare camper fuses, tv cables (pole to your camper), tv cable splitter, tv cable barrel nut, board games (when it rains)
12) Always lock your camper door when hauling down the interstate.....ask me how I know. Also hide a spare key under the camper somewhere
13) Lock up your distribution hitch in addition to your camper if you leave the site.
14) If camping in the winter, watch your propane levels, changing/flipping the switch outside at 3am in 25 degree weather sucks.
15) Make sure you have an extension (and 90 angles) to your poop hose, again reference #9
16) Always have rubber gloves.

17) If this is your 1st camper, try a couple of spots very close to the house. You will forget something, this way you can add it your camping list.

So we went on our 1st camping trip this week with our travel trailer. Bucks Pocket is very nice by the way if you haven't checked it out.


What I learned

-It sucks to forget your power cord and have to go back to get it Make a list of important MUST have items and check it 100 times to make sure you have it packed.
-Forgot to pack a tool kit, you will definitely need that
-Gloves for the sewage hookup
-Extra Fuses
-Backup Camera while not necessary would be nice
