Day #135 – Water Leak

Lake Park GA

The last couple days have been a whirlwind of moving stuff around, organizing, and of course, shopping.  The boxes we used to store things in the TrailManor just don’t work in this new trailer.  We are essentially using the bunk beds as shelving units.  If we store things wisely, we won’t have to move objects to the floor before we tow from one location to the next.  Kelly is a genius at this – I try to stay out of her way.

We’ve moved all the camping and kayak gear from the bed of the truck to the pass-through in the front of the trailer.  It’s not neat yet, but it’s safe and dry.  We’ve unpacked lots of boxes into cupboards – books are now on a shelf!  We stored our small collection of cold-season clothes under the bed.  Extra water bottles and knapsacks went under the dinette seat.  We put our games and puzzles in the cupboard under the TV.  Our goal is to have the bottom bunks empty, for use by visitors.  In reality, we’ve put laundry bags on one and the guitar and dulcimer on the other.

This trailer is so much easier to live in.  In the TrailManor, you had to literally get down on hands-and-knees to access the lower cupboards.  In this trailer, there is only one shelf near the floor and there is no need for kneeling.

Today, we discovered a leak in the fresh water line under the kitchen sink.  The dealer’s technician came over to fix it, but we’re guessing it will still be leaking in the morning.
