Today my trailer guru and I took Waddles up to a local campground and drove around to get comfortable manuvering. Then we found a large, empty, gravel parking lot and he confirmed his suspicion that the car would hit the spare tire if I made a tight turn😳. So the spare has been put back under the trailer tongue where is was from the factory...and unfortunately that cool purple cover had to go away. So sad. I practiced backing in the parking lot and when we got home I backed the trailer all the way from the road to the garage. If you've seen my driveway, you know that is a pretty good distance and there are a few things to manuver around. I did it very slowly, and in fits and starts, but I didn't hit anything, didn't drive off the driveway, and Waddles is now in the garage.
I've been sleeping in her, and tomorrow I'm going to cook breakfast using only things I'll have on the trip with me.
And the new blog header photo was taken on today's outing. Nine days and counting😍
One of my band mates gave me this for my birthday😍.
So excited for you! Happy trails...
ReplyDeleteThanks! You are quick.
ReplyDeleteI took the tire off my trailer hitch because it was too low and hit when I went over bumps. Have you had that problem?
ReplyDeleteHum...we just moved it back under the tongue because the car hit it on tight turns when mounted on the side of the tongue. Where do you keep it?

ReplyDeleteI'm so sad that the tire covering won't be going with you!! I guess just a few days now before you head out. Good luck and I look forward to seeing the trip unfold!
