Busy, Exciting Week

You're probably wondering where I have been since our snowy Memorial Day Weekend...well, I told you I was looking at camping trailers.   I found one that's just perfect for me.   An 18 foot long Dutchman Sport,  last year's model which I got it for just about half price, brand new.   And they are throwing in a stabilizer for the hitch free.  

It has a full kitchen including a three burner stove, a smaller - very small - oven, double sink and nice size refrigerator with separate freezer.   A bathroom including shower/small tub, vanity/sink and, of course, a toilet - the toilet and shower/tub are behind the door.

A large bed - yes I have to crawl into it but that was better than wasting space with a walk-around bed for me - with a small bunk above one third of the bed.   The bunk has a window which makes it a perfect spot for the kitties to perch.

There is no slide-out, but the arrangement is very roomy.   I took these two pictures from the sofa which is in the front of the trailer.   

I did not know, however, of all the other things that needed to be taken care of for the car.   I had a towing package, but the hitch was too small as was the electrical hook-up.   And then I needed to install the activation system for the brakes on the trailer.

Well, needless to say, this week has been literally taken up with all those other problems.   But I pick up the trailer on Tuesday.   And I promise more pictures, especially of how I use it and decorate it.

I did get the swap of spring vintage items mailed...had a hard time finding spring type vintage things, but thought the flower postcards and cute animal pictures would work...

More later...

Thanks for stopping by and for your concern as to why I had not posted much this week.
