Backing – Part 2

Danny has been in the shop for the duration of hunting season waiting for the service manager to return from hunting to authorize a repair to the roof.

During that time, I have been practicing my backing skills with the following game. After much practice, I am able to get my boat into the water..YAY!

With Danny back and no snow yet, today was a good day for another backing up lesson.

The challenge given by my instructor (Lee) is to back the trailer between two pieces of wood that he placed on the ground in the parking lot. Practicing what I’ve learned from playing the trailer backing game above, I was able to get the trailer into the pretend campsite:

You can see the wood circle under the bumper on the right side.

Lee: “Other than jumping the curb a few times, practice went smoothly.”

Now that Danny is a back home, the process of upgrading and outfitting for full-timing can continue. So far we have:

  • replaced the original equipment filament light bulbs with LEDs.
  • added an Extend A Stay propane kit which allows the use of external bulk propane tanks
  • planned and partially implemented an inverter/solar electrical system.
  • reupholstering the headboard and the window cornices in the bedroom is in progress.

So we are back on track and moving forward. Till next time!
