Trip report and need a little pep talk...
Hey all, Just back from our Memorial Day camping trip. Left on Saturday, back here by 6 Monday. We have a 2013 Nomad Retro, which is quite short at 20 feet. It's alright for the 4 of us with 2 boy...

pk, I feel for you with the run in with the neighbor... You did right and let it go as nothing would have changed anyway, other than you getting your feelings off your chest, but IMO, YOU were the better Man.. :)
As to the wet weekend, I've had quite a few of those. I've packed up and left a day early once or twice myself... Found out it was better weather at HOME, so we left..
We reserve our camping 9 months ahead of time in the State Parks around the state.. Just pick a weekend and make it a 4 day one and hope for the best when that weekend comes! Our first trip of the year was a couple of weeks ago and we went East of the mountains in WA State, so we had a better chance of better weather than they had in the Seattle area... We did too, except it was pretty windy and that made it uncomfortable to sit outside for any length of time.
We don't have any kids to entertain, so our early reservations and what we do in camp are not going to be the same thing you can or want to do, but as was said already.... Make the best of it as you can.. The nice thing with an RV is you can hitch up and go if that's the best option at the time!
Still lots of "Summer" left, so hopefully you have more trips planned this year and can get some good "heat" out of a trip! :)
That's what always keeps me going! I did have one whole season where rain dripped off the awning on every single trip for the whole Summer!! That made it tough to make those new reservations too.. But, once I'm out there, it's still better than doing chores at home! :)
