I got the itch

Well , this weekend I GOT THE iTCH real bad...

I de-winterized the trailer... Opened it up, extended all the slide, washed it.... Flushed the entire fresh water system... Check all tires... Filled the HW tank... And then sat in there and watched tv for about an hour. ;);)

We are getting ready for our first trip possibly next weekend !! ๐Ÿ™‚

I feel your pain!!! Been there, done that! My wife thought I was crazy when I did that. When the "itch" strikes ya gotta do what ya gotta do! :B

Of course now that we're retired, well we just get in it and go camping if the "itch" rears it's ugly head now. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sure is hard to get rid of, once you get it. I've been out twice now, the weather has been in he 70's around here. Might be worth coming out this way.

I would rather NOT SEE IT , then sit here every nice winter day, looking at it out my window...knowing that it is not going anywhere anytime soon..

Then , there's a glimmer of light !!! Ahhhhhhh. Winter is over ?? I don't think so...

We just got back from our second (shakedown--new camper) trip of the year. Crazy when we're camping in March in Montana! What a great way to start the season.

Well sitting in there with all slides open, watching tv for an hour, is almost like camping. It's been camping weather here also, but won't de-winterize, cause the cold and snow can still hit.
