Thanks for the report. We hope to take a similar route in the next year or two. I laughed at seeing your parking method:

"... One odd item that works absolutely perfectly is something that I don't understand why all couples with campers don't do! When I get to a campsite and need to back the trailor in, I turn over the wheel to my wife and get out and just tell her which way to turn the wheel and how much as she backs up slowly. NO SCREEMING, NO TENSION, NO PROBLEM - VERY EASY. I hear all these comments from others as how to accomplish backing up. None can compare to how we do it!!! ... "

I learned a long time ago that my wife is actually better at backing the trailer in than I am (as long as I assist, of course 8) ). The only part that we do differently is that we bought inexpensive Motorola walkie-talkies (from Costco, I think) so we can communicate even when I am on the opposite side of the TM.
