Nailed the set up today!

Backed into the site, right where I wanted to land on the first try, with no spotter.

Got out and checked side to side level...bang on perfect with no need for blocks.

Unhooked the truck, walked to the side level and noticed I nailed front to back level on first try too!

Wish it happened more often. ๐Ÿ™‚

I had that happen for the first time the last trip we made in July. Of course my wife hurt her neck at work the week prior, it got worse, and we had to leave early to go to the doctor. I counted my chickens before they hatched! ๐Ÿ™‚

If you didn't post a picture - it didn't happen! ๐Ÿ˜› Seriously - good job!. The crack about the concrete site was a good one!

For me, winning the lotto would be considered lucky. The other stuff is just something you do as part of the RVing lifestyle (I don't rush it, that's all).

Good Job!! . I think maybe three times this happened to me in my entire life. Most pads are sloped here in Oregon to allow for water run off.

Always nice to get it right the first time. I find the large sites more difficult. Too much room. No trees & stumps for reference points to get around.

He used six months of good luck with the trifecta. No sense spending good money on a lottery ticket. In fact, he's overdue for a squirrel to chew through his wiring.

The satellite dish set up the first try is almost like a trip to Shangrila. It does happen occasionally, but most of the time it is a headbanger. I feel so sorry for my poor wife when the thing does not go well. Then I usually find I forgot to do one important step. My wife will put that step on a check list for the next time, then I forget a different one. Time for my medicine.

Exactly.........

I've done the trifecta on a few occasions.

Then folks driving by shortly after see me doing the 'Happy Dance' and first impressions are hard to over come :B

I've been able to do that with satellite dish just by eye balling it quite often. Reward myself with an early beer.

A trifecta! That doesn't happen often enough. Cool.
