As minimalist as I can do!
August 8, 2018 - First time out!!!
We
had a great, uneventful trip. Toodles and Odo had never
ridden in any motorhome so this was a first for both. They
decided they would both sit on the front seat.
The park is not very busy at all, perhaps at twenty percent of
its capacity. I had reserved 158. The motorhome
looks downright silly, taking so little of both the width and
length of the space.
It was a hot day, with temperatures in the 90s and a threat of
rain. Had a bit of rain on the drive up. It was
enough to wash the dust off. Not much to setting up but
the heat soak surprised me. When it is warm out the box
gets toasty until the muffler, engine and drivetrain cool off.
Storms
were supposed to be coming. We hit the Mouse Trail and
both dogs immediately realized we were the most target-rich
environment we had ever been in! They went crazy with the
number and types of smells.
We logged 2.62 miles but you'd of think they walked ten miles.

We
slept like babies. I am THRILLED with the comfort!
We were up and walked the entire campground, a distance of six
miles.
AND ... ready? Odo caught himself a rabbit. He
determined that if he throws himself into each and every area of
shrubs, he'd eventually throw himself right into a rabbit.
He was right! Preferring releasing the rabbit unharmed to
Dad starangulating him, he let the rabbit go unharmed.
Also below is my wood transport device version 1.
A visit from a Cooper's Hawk who was looking to deprive a nest
of some babies:
A VERY green tree!
Later
we walked the Inland Lake Trail, a distance of 2.4 miles.
If you look above Toodles, you will see a Blue Heron who
really hoped that Toodles would not notice him.
Tried out the shower and believe it or not, taking a full shower
in a Class B, a small Class B at that, is not only possible, but
easy.
And this is how Toodles is often found napping:

Left early and dumping was easy. Overall a trip with
nothing wrong with a new unit during a shake down.
