Title: Hello from Colorado
Post by: kweinert on July 23, 2015, 06:28:43 PM
Just north of Denver. Bought ours last year but didn't make it out until last weekend. It's a long story.

Spent a couple of days in it when we had out of town company and it was pretty comfortable. Since it's only my wife and I we put both mattresses on one side and it was pretty nice.

This last weekend we went to a campground within hearing range of the interstate - just wanted to get out close to home, see how it towed (it's my first time with a camper of any kind) and see if we forgot to pack something or couldn't get something to work.

Found a couple little things we needed to stock. At the moment we're using lidded plastic containers for storage and that seems OK.

Biggest issue was the sink. More specifically, getting the water to work. It didn't. I think I've seen a 'fix' for that (blocking the other tube) but in the meantime I bought I 12v pump that fits down inside the blue water container. Initial tests with a 9v battery shows that it should work OK. Of course doing that showed that the drain hose has a leak at the connector but that's a simple clamp fix.

Had a pretty nice blow come up with a lot of rain. It was nice to just sit inside and not feel like it was going to come down around your ears.

Home this weekend, up camping the next two and then once more in August.
