I had started the great big catch up blog post and realized that even I was getting tired of looking at it. So…a new adventure begins and this will be the first of this set.

We thought it would be a good idea to wash and wax the trailer. We tried a compound our neighbour suggested and it looks pretty good so far.

I am not used to waxing my vehicles but I like how waxed things look. The trailer was shaping up beautifully.

It looked so good! We put out the awning to let it air out.

I had thought about taking the trailer into an RV dealer to have the axles looked at but I was convinced that greasing the axles was easy. I bought a grease gun and the recommended grease – it was pretty easy at the end of the day after borrowing a bottle jack from a neighbour to raise the trailer.

The anticipation of going on another adventure is contagious.

Even the dog is all excited about going out camping.

I like to flush the black tank again before a trip and go to the waste dump to ensure that at least at the start, everything is good and empty, then refill the fresh water tank so that it doesn’t have the stale tank taste.

Everything is pretty much loaded and ready to roll. Starting to do the final checks of what is supposed to be in the trailer and what maps we should be carrying….it’s all so exciting and we can’t wait to start rolling.
