New retainer got for the lock on that bumper cover showed up Tuesday. But I was so crazy busy this week with work that I didn’t have time to tackle that swap.

Mom and I headed down off the mountain to our surf camp weekend. Picked up the trailer 19 miles from the campground. Smooth sailing most of the day. Owner was super helpful and showed me everything I needed to know about setting up the weight distribution hitch and leveling bars. Nice setup for the next four days. And of course.... pics or it didn’t happen right?!
Need to set the leveling bars up a tad bit higher for the drive back Monday. Not otherwise I think I did well with my first time towing a travel trailer.

Looks great Chase! But I’ve gotta ask…. Your campsite is… paved.?
Yeah the campground is basically right beside the 5 freeway and the rail line in between San Clemente and Oceanside, CA, up on the bluffs. So the campsite are just lines painted on the pavement. And then the beach is about maybe a tad bit over a quarter mile walk down the base of the bluffs. No RV hookups which is kinda a bummer so I’m learning about using the propane to run the fridge and using the generator that the owner of the trailer is allowing us to use to run water pump for showers, since there’s only outdoor cold beach showers at the campground. But other than that is a nice camp area and everything stays fairly cleanish.

I would think that the water pump and other things should run on the trailer battery if it's charged. The only thing you'd need the generator for is to recharge the battery or run a microwave or A/C.

I guess with this particular trailer it’s better to run the generator for the water pump and water heater for showers.
