I got back to Tyler near the end of March, and I’ve been working on the trailer ever since. There’s definite progress, but I feel like it’s going slowly. A zillion little details, and the logistics of the correct order-of-operations is kind of crazy too. Continue reading Construction

The Full Trio – and a dust storm!
Picked up the trailer this morning, traveled for a bit, found another great boondocking site, and then my first dust storm! Continue reading The Full Trio – and a dust storm!
Windy Day
Not going anywhere today. Wind is blowing the trailer back and forth while I’m sitting on the couch. I’m going to sit this one out. Continue reading Windy Day
Day 1
It’s been a good day today. Left the house around 9am and after running some errands, I formally hit the road at 10am. The truck and trailer behaved well today.

RV en route to Wisconsin!
I just got an email from Brad, the trailer has been completed and is en route to the Becker facility in Wisconsin now! Unfortunately, the weather is absolutely terrible with a wind chill advisory today and tomorrow and then a winter storm warning on Friday and Saturday. Continue reading RV en route to Wisconsin!
Wrong Window
I just got a call from Brad at Becker Trailers, and there’s been a little “whoopsie” with the trailer. They ordered an egress window for me, but what they actually received was a regular window (of the same size). Brad called to discuss my options: Continue reading Wrong Window
