Replaced the drawer

As usual small repairs required.   This replacement was for the drawer over the fridg.


The original owner either did not order with a drawer or broke it and replaced it with junk.


This is what I came up with.  Works fine, and looks much better. Note the magnet cabnet closers on the back of the drawer. Hopping it will not let the drawer open while going down the road, we'll see.

Shakedown outing to Big Basin

He decided to take our first trip with our Scamp trailer Big Basin State Park. 
The trailer was very easy to tow, didn't even realize we were towing it, not really.  I still have not got used to backing, managed to get it in the spot. Was Number 133 in the Blumes creek section and old favorite spot of ours.




This is also the first time for our new cook box.  It worked out great.
Made it very easy to keep everything organized and it's own place the drawers workout especially well all the cooking utensils fit within the box although it is very heavy and hard for me to move around. It may be necessary to remove the heavy cast-iron items before moving the box but it's something you can deal with when you're camping.

The one thing we did have a problem with was sleeping, it was very warm and the bed is very small for two of us.  Peg sleepted on the front couch that is very small.  I've since changed the couch and now there is much more room.  
The Heater worked great, did have to tinker with the thermostat a bit, minor repair.
Now I need to design some kind of shade unite. I'm trending toward a canopy that can be used in many different set up situations.  Maybe with screen walls for bug protection. Costco has one for about $80 bucks that looks good.
Need to install cigarette lighter socket over the sink in the side of the cabinet for charging cell phones and iPads etc.
We stayed for two nights, had a great time except for the mosquitoes, have to prepare for that in the future. Towed fine, no problems.  Looking forward to our next excursion.
