First trip report

Well we got back Thursday from our first ever trip with a travel trailer. We stayed at a park on Galveston Island in a town called Jamaica Beach. It was more fun then I ever expected. The trailer worked flawlessly except for the leak at the hot water connector at the kitchen sink that came back. I thought I had it fixed. You can tighten it and it goes away for 12 hours and then starts leaking again. Any suggestions are welcome on how to get a permanent fix for this.

We parked next to a couple from Wisconsin who had just spent 3 months down in Mission, Texas. They were on their way back home but decided to stay here for three weeks first. They were super nice and helpful to us newbies.

This place has its own Hunt Brothers Pizza on site and they deliver phone orders right to your trailer. The pizza was delicious. Just down the road is a seafood restaurant that does take out orders and the food there is also delicious.
  • Hey fellow Texan...... We just started full-timing last $400 a month.... If you go to hill country try By The River RV Park in Kerrville....Awesome park...
  • Congrats on a successful first outing. The first one is always nerve racking. Wait until you see how relaxed the next outing is.
  • Klbc, yes the weather was perfect. Did not have to run the air conditioner except to see if it worked.
  • Sounds like you had a nice time. Can't wait for our first trip. I'm envious of your nice weather.
  • Thanks , Mike for the tip. We will have to look into that. We cant wait for our next trip.
  • Glad you had a good experience. Galveston is really nice. Another nice park not too far away is in Edna, Tx. Can't remember the name off hand, but it used to be a state park, now owned by the county. If you make it Edna, Big Bend is just around the corner!
    Happy camping!!!
  • Tried to post some pictures but it wont work. Posted pictures before with no problem. Will try again tomorrow.
