Typical, the day we leave and have to do a lot of outside stuff, the heavens open!!
Anyway, we got everything packed and pulled out of the campsite safely, if a little wet. The rear view camera didn’t work as advertised, the distance from the back of the trailer to the front of the truck was a little too much. Some re-wiring is needed!
After about 45 minutes I noticed the brake controller had failed (no brake controller no working brakes on a 10000 pound trailer…. not good). We pulled into a Wal-Mart parking lot, and luckily it was a simple fix, some water had got into the plug at the back of the truck that the trailer connects to.
Other than that it was pretty uneventful, we drove out of the rain, and the temperature dropped about 6 degrees as we move north. The grass also changed from a straggly brown to a lush green.
