A campers Work is Never Done!

Another warm wake-up with the outside air already over 70F. After breakfast the plan was to make a start on cleaning the outside of the trailer, having been left in a dusty environment over the summer is was pretty dirty.

The starting point was to be the awning, both the top and underside needed doing, so I knew it would be  a wet job. Initially I  was wrong, I wouldn’t be getting wet as the campground water supply had failed.

We took our morning stroll around the camp-ground and Lyn popped into the annual craft sale held at the site; I headed back to the trailer. The water outage was short lived and I was able to start on the awning. That kept me busy for the rest of the morning and half the afternoon. Next job is to clean the roof, oh joy!

Since we have had the trailer, there has always been some “sway” inside when someone is moving around. We have just lived with it, but this time there seems to be more movement so we set about tracking it down. The culprit seems to be some play in the front “legs” that support the trailer, there is some sideways movement when the trailer is pushed. Having discovered the weak point, we should be able to fix it. Tomorrow we’ll head off to the local camping store to see if we can find the solution.
