Puttering around !!!

We went down and puttered around with the Camper,  Anna Mae put some things away in cupboards, I cleaned out the storage compartment where I store the Reciever, sway bars, hand cranks, and ax, wd-40, and tarps, ropes and wood leveling blocks.

.

.
Above is the "Sway Bars" and hitch we put on the Camper, the receiver that goes on the KIA with the 2 inch ball weighs about 500 pounds it seems like, but actually it is about 80 pounds, seems heavier, we did not have sway bars on our first camper 25 years ago, we towed it to florida and only had it on a 2 inch ball with safety chains.
.

Got Battery Charged, checked Fridge, Oven and all looks good.  Camper all clean and spiffy.
.


.
Full Queen Bed in Front, gas stove, lots of storage, top right is microwave, dining room table and makes into a bed, but the camper only sleeps 2!!!.

.

.

Electric/Gas fridge and freezer, freezer got down to 32 degrees and froze some water in it.
.

.
The rear door and closets, lots of storage space. 
.


.
 And finally, the room  needed at 3am, the bathroom, with a shower, sink and ceiling fan.
.
We are looking at Maps, web sites and dday dreaming about some traveling,  Hopefuly will head out this week for a few days on a trial run.
.
WISH UP LUCK cuz we already said a little Prayer !

WOW again, thanks for the tour, what isn't there to love? It seems fit for a king! (King of the road)

yeah about the towing. We once towed a 36 house trailer on a Bumper hitch. funny that looking back on it. But those 50's bumpers were made for that stuff...

Hope you guys have a safe road trip and I know you will enjoy it and each other.

Love from Accord, headed for maine monday morning.

PS: I know what you mean about the 500 lb hitch. I got my pack down to 35 lbs and it still feel like 65. hahaha
