aka, The Show So Far!

  • RV mattresses are junk.
  • Chock first.
  • Spring for the 3rd burner.
  • Cook on coals, not flames if you don't want your pretty red pots to turn black.
  • Twenty-six gallons is not as much as you may think! Poop in the bath house in the absence of sewer hookups!
  • Food tastes better in the woods
  • Fairy lights are worth the time it takes to hang them up.
  • NO ONIONS IN THE TRAILER.
  • Open the vent and turn on the exhaust fan when cooking. Always.
  • Don't build the campfire too close to Roxy's door, or the fire alarm WILL NOT STOP.
  • Hunks of copper pipe are re-usable and cause the same effect on a campfire as Magical Campfire Color Dust.
  • Start at the correct end of the chain when counting links for the tension bars.
  • Let the air out of the hose before turning on water at the spigot.
  • Bug spray.
  • "RV Resorts" are more for drinking than camping. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
  • Don't forget the pillows.
  • Roll up the awning in the correct direction.
  • Do NOT put the cooler on the tiny plastic table.
  • Flannel-backed tablecloths!
