Back story: This is our 5th trailer. We have been Rving for over 25 years.Oregon Coast, pouring rain. Backed into our site, leveled side to side, chocked wheels, un-hitched from the truck, leveled front to back, put down stabilizers, plugged in electricity, hooked up water, put out awning….started the slide out and realized we were TOO CLOSE TO A TREE!!Had to completely reverse the process and re-hitch to the truck to move the trailer 6 inches back.Got all set up again, and put the slide room out. Realized we were in the WRONG SITE!!! Had to move one site over.Yes indeed, this newbie, provided lots of entertainment to our immediate neighbors.

We were all newbie's once! I don't even want to discuss the mistakes I made for fear of banishment from the community!So welcome and we look forward to hearing more from you.Scott

one more and you will be banished to the east coast.

The correct response would be to blame the CG management for putting a tree too close to your trailer and for directing you to the wrong site. :BMaybe with another 25 or so years of experience you will get it right. :)

Thank you for restoring my trust in mankind:B. I expect to make bigger and greater mistakes as time goes by:c.

Ummmm, I know it's a little late now, but, couldn't you have moved the number sign on the lot entrance?;)

BT,DT got the tee shirt to prove it. Now all you need to do is put blocks under the high side instead of the low side.
