More on the title later! Left Brunswick GA around 0900 with the trailer in tow, had to get used to having the beast behind me again when driving. A pretty easy drive of just under 200 miles. The fuel consumption was again better than last time we towed with around 12.8 mpg. Got to the campsite and our first thought was “what have we let ourselves in for?” The first trailers we saw were so close together you could hardly get the slide-outs out. Then we realised that were looking at the storage area! We knew that we were spoiled at the last site, this one is full (about 160 sites), and the sites are closer together, but overall it seems pretty good.
Lyn started to unpack and get the place ready while I connected up water, sewer, electric, cable, Internet etc. Finally came the satellite dish, which can be pretty picky as there are three adjustments to make, direction, elevation and skew. This was not made any easier by the strong gusty winds. Went off to the computer to do the calculations, went outside to set up the tripod and dish and pointed it in the rough direction. Switched on the TV to the “tuning” channel and went to look for the compass. No compass, oh well I can see where the sun is setting I’ll go just left of that the see what happens. Of course no signal. When looking for the snazzy tuning meter and figured it would take at least half an hour to get it all sorted when Lyn says “What did you do, the pictures fantastic!” The wind had blown the antenna into perfect alignment! If it’s repeatable at the next site I’ll go for the patent.
