Thanks moderators for fixing my photo's. I have been reading the help section and have been trying to see what the issue was. That is the best help section on any forum I have ever seen. Very thorough and great information.
Going back and rereading everything, one thing sure rings true. Out camping you are usually out doing something and not sitting in the camper thinking about the weather. Leaving the AC install till later is a good idea. I doubt we will be heading south very far. Never say never right? And I just fixed the truck AC. That is a heck of an idea for a problem hot day. Lots of really good ideas here.
Our first trip a couple weeks back it rained all day. I have a tarp system from my Jeeping tent camping days that works well, even in windy conditions. 4 of us sat under it by the fire and were fine. One thing the camper does not have is an awning. We found a folding bug screen wall canopy. The bugs here are voracious and hungry in the spring thaw. We get our bug dope from my wifes sister up in Juneau AK. Natural, clean and effective stuff. It makes you smell kind of like root beer. LOL. We think the canopy will be better than an awning with no walls. So no holes to drill and wince while doing it. Even though the camper is tucked away and winterized, we are having fun finding stuff now to take along with us later. It feels like it is going to be a long winter.
