First out-of-state trip

[bigredbill]

We just returned from our first out-of-state trip with our travel trailer, and our official "tune-up" before hitting the road to Florida in late December. A few things I have learned:

The loose screws I have found laying in various places in our camper actually had a purpose. I realized that our microwave was being held into the cabinet by it's remaining two out of four screws, both of which were loose.

Poor hygiene and the closed quarters of a trailer are not a good match. We met up with some old family friends while visiting the Kansas City area. A couple of their daughters (ages 12 and 14) wanted to go to the amusement park (Worlds of Fun) with us on Saturday, so they stayed in our trailer with our family Friday night. Now this is a wonderful family -- however, they don't make their kids shower. I was the "meanie" that gave them each a towel and sent them towards the shower house Saturday morning. If they were going to be hanging with our family, they needed to smell a heck of a lot better.

The six of us in our family can survive being trapped together in the cab of my truck for several hours at a time. No major injuries and I was able to keep most of my senses. My wife insists that I don't have many of my senses left, so I need to hang on to whatever I have.

we know folk like that, they think soap and water are not part of the camping experience.
we tell people that we practice camping outside,,,
inside is our hotel room.

We had family friends like that when I was younger, they smelled pretty bad and I was always scared of them. hahahaha
