Stability

Another warm morning when we woke up, but a quick look at the forecast sent shivers down the spine. Daytime high was 75F night time low was to be 34F with SNOW. Not sure if I believe it or not!

We headed out to the RV store later in the morning to get a tripod stabiliser to try and reduce the movement in the trailer when people are moving about. We also bought a longer handled brush for cleaning the outside of the trailer, now I can reach up to the roof line (about 12ft) without using the step ladder.

After a coffee and a trip to the local dollar store we headed back to the camp site. The box containing the tripod made lots of clinking noises when it was moved so I figures that there was some assembly required. I was wrong, the noise was the safety chain rattling. All I had to do was open up  the tripod, place it under the kingpin (the hitch connection at the front of the trailer) and adjust a screw device until the king pin was very snug against the tripod.

End result was the sideways movement of the trailer has been greatly reduced.

Checked the weather forecast in the afternoon, still no change for tonight!

With the demise of the satellite system, I am trying to find out how up to date we are on some of the TV series that we watch. Once that was done the poor old internet took a beating as I started to download new episodes.

It’s now 1115 PM and the outside air is still over 70F, another check of the forecast shows a low tonight of 64F and rain. Obviously the US forecasters are just as incompetent (or more so) than their Canadian counterparts
