What’s Gotta Stay

Last year I purchased a travel trailer with the intent of getting my family out camping more often.  For the most part we have been meeting that intent whole heartedly, and enjoying every minute of it.  I grew up in a family that primarily hiked and tent camped, so having an enclosed trailer was a new experience for me.  It is hard sometimes to call it camping, but with a disabled child I feel more comfortable in this kind of situation than a tent.

Fortunately I grew up learning how to not only drive a stick shift, but also plenty of experience pulling trailers of various kinds.  I quickly learned some of the do’s and don’ts with trailers such as taking wide turns and parking them.  Even with my experience, jumping into a travel trailer brought new experiences to deal with.

I came across this article today that gave some good tips to think about when using an RV.  Many of the tips are applicable to travel trailers as well.  Using an RV or trailer is definitely one of those situations where educating yourself in advance pays big dividends.
