Things are moving along now! This Friday we will get the hitch installed on our Truck and pick up our trailer. I hope to have some pictures of us and our new rig posted soon.
The plan: We will pick up our camper on May 31st and park our fifth wheel in our driveway until June 3rd. The Pekin, Illinois traffic folks said we had to have our truck attached to the trailer if we wanted to park on the street, and said we could only park 72 hours or be ticketed. We chose to park on our driveway, which is not as long as the 5th wheel, so we will be across the sidewalk too. This will give us a chance to load some stuff we into the trailer before our first night camping.
We've been ordering some essential hardware for our trailer through Amazon. Who would have thought we can get RV supplies like sewer hoses, leveling blocks, wheel chocks and the like through Amazon.
We've made reservations at Kentuckiana campground near Hopedale, Illinois. We have camped there in the past and are looking forward to our first camping trip in quite a while. We plan to stay there at the campground about a month and will have garage sales and eliminate furniture from our rented house. The campground Kampground is far enough away to give us a glimpse of what it will be like to live without family around, but still be close enough for both us and them to get acclimated to the idea.
I will be posting a campground review at the end of our stay.
