2+ weeks into Artic Fox 27-5L
I love this 5th wheel more and more each day.
Outside of a little bobble on our third night traveling to key west, trip has been remarkably easy.
Stayed at Boyd's in Key West. The staff did a great job helping me get parked in a very tight spot. Set me up perfect to literally just back it into our "slot". Really happy for the eBikes, key west is not Superduty friendly, especially CCLB. I'm apparently older than I thought, party in KW doesn't get wound up until after I'm in bed :)
Left there and drove north to Lutz (Tampa) FL, where the campground we're in is kind of anarchy on parking. We reserved our site over a year ago, and a well placed call that morning to the manager "confirming" our site reserved a year ago got some of the anarchy cleaned up before we got there. It was still tough parking tho, not a lot of room to get our trailer properly placed.
The independent $u$pen$ion , has been worth every penny. Stuff stays on the counter instead of getting flung to the floor. Disc brakes, when you need them to stop the trailer, stops it right now.
Pretty deep into the mods, which isn't a surprise, I am a project manager, and this is becoming my pre retirement project :) Trailer is over weight, and need to understand where the extra wt is coming from. I know IS and brakes added weight, but in my head can't figure out where the extra pin wt came from. I'll weigh it again on the way home.
We'll be here for several months when it warms back up at our "home" in MI. Still working from home, and have a perfect setup for being on the road. Still need to find my wireless headset dongle tho. Hoping I didn't leave it back in MI.
