After a great nights sleep it was time to check out the weather. When we woke up it was -6C outside, the trailer wasn’t too bad inside, but it is at times like this I wish we had managed to get the Arctic Insulation kit when we bought it. Luckily it was a clear day, and the sun helped warm the trailer up quickly to the point heating was not required. The outside temperature crept up to around 3C.
Once we got things sorted out, including a refill of gas for heating, I headed over to Lowe’s. I had bought a portable air compressor on line from them, it was meant to operate from either 12 volts or 120 volts, but the 120 volt connection was not working. Luckily the local store had some in stock so I was able to do a swap. I wanted to get a compressor that was capable of inflating the truck tyres to the pressure required when towing the the trailer, as well as the trailer tyres. Both sets need to be inflated to 80psi. Most gas station air pumps won’t go this high, or if they do it takes a long time and many quarters! The new pump seems to be up to the job.
Lyn couldn’t resist a trip to Hobby Lobby, so while she was over there I did a little more work trying to stabalise the satellite antenna, as the signal had dropped out over night.
We managed a walk around the park for about a mile, but the wind made it pretty chilly.
The trailer is now all set up, and the plan is to be able to travel without having to pack everything up again. Hopefully the weather will warm up a bit more tomorrow as I want to get the rear view camera receiver setup in the truck. It would also be nice to get down to the coast one more time before we head out Saturday
