Well all set. I got 4 2x8, 34" long as well as a 10 pack of leveling blocks as others here posted. That should give me enough to get her leveled. I also have 4 of those cheap yellow chocks and a pair of X-chocks. Set the whole thing up over the weekend, and taking my first trip next Saturday. Its a short one, about 30 minutes from home, so if I do forget anything, or if I need something I don't have, its a short drive to either Farm and Fleet or Menards or home. Its a state park with electric, so I will have to fill my FW tank before I leave.
Other than bedding for the bunks, which should be here this week, and bedding for the queen, which we just need to take out of storage, the trailer is packed, tested and ready to roll. **** that AC is good! Had it hooked to power since Friday, had the AC going, and cooled it off nicely even though it was out in the sun and it was 90* both days. I found I need to make a couple repairs, such as some caulk in the gutter just behind the awning as it leaks AC runoff there, the forward track for the awning is stuck, can't adjust it, but the rear one adjusts just fine. It got stuck on my today, overextended it, but was able to get it retracted, then extended it properly. It also needs to be washed, see some mildew on it. I also picked up a Champion 3100 generator, tested it out as well, and it powers the AC and Refer just fine, ran it for 2 hours, and it used just a touch of gas. The Refer cools down quickly, of course having the AC going for a day helped.
Getting excited for our trip at the end of July.
