We are looking forward to our first overnight. We were not planning on using it until we had resealed the windows, completed some other repairs and put some new tires on.
But!
Our daughter who is a science teacher, wants to take a quick 10-12 hour jaunt to view the total eclipse. So we are going to take the two boys ( 4.5 and 8 ) camping. We are heading to a Michigan State Park 20 miles away.
While not a monumental run or an epic journey we are excited to practice so to speak and have the boys to camp with. We are going to be in an area of approximately 80% coverage and that will be exciting enough for two young-uns without having to sit all those boring hours in a car with a bunch of adults. Plus there is all the exciting stuff to do in a campground. I think we are getting the better deal!
Our previous trailer was only 16' and with the HiLo at 26' it's going to be like being in Texas..... their are going to be way over there. This shake down cruise for us will be good for us. We're glad that we will be using it sooner rather than later. Glad we were nudged into using it.
We are excited!
