Default 1st week in the TM

Our first trip with the TM was about 1100 miles over five days. This was coming off almost 19000 miles to Alaska and back in a pop-up. We towed the TM from the dealer to the campground, about 30 miles. Spent three days boondocking. The only thing Rocky Creek has is an outhouse and a water source in the middle of the campground. The only problem was getting the shells latched. Next stop was about 200 miles from Ft Worth in LA at a nice state park. They were redoing their water system so didn't use that but did check out the electrical. Time to break camp was about the same as with the pop-up. Still don't quite have the hang of the latches. Third stop was in MS mostly back roads. Fixed tail lights that had quit working. Getting better at the latching. Fourth stop was at Falling Waters SP in Florida. Middle of October so ran the AC. Got the latching down pat just jump from the ladder to the stirrup.
Can't wait for our next trip in our new TM.
