First camp with our 99Casita SD.
This might get long here not sure. Took our 1st trip , just one night to Hanna Park, Mayport Fl. The camper pulled so easy and backed in to the site with ease. Small campers are great in this capasity. After hooking things up we started organizing things. First the jack stands, which I had to dig the dirt out before they would pull down. Low campers probably need shorter stands so a bottle jack is probably going to be added. The roof fan worked and didnt this weekend, hopefully only a fuse Ill check today but it was hot so the AC stayed on anyway. There is no canopy crank, so I used a hooked bottle jack handle. May have to order one as well as the center pole we didnt get, but canopy for shade was ok without it. The sewer spout on the camper was lower than the elbow on the sites sewer dump so I didnt connect it till we got ready to leave, and then I had to lift it up for the hose to clear, then run water thru it to clean it out, no biggie but might have been if we were to leave it connected for a longer stay. The toilet leaked, clean, water up on the raised platform its mounted to, which was ok since its a wet shower but will address the reason soon. The hwh lit but never got the water hot so didnt get to try the shower out. With a level, on the camper outside side to side being right, a level in the shower still showed it leaning towards the back which is where the water pooled up. Im thinking side to side leveling might be checked in the shower so comode platform is level. Still need button tabs over rivets but put some latex white chaulk on them till then. I need stick-on weatherstripping for the door jamb [easy], and would like a peephole in the door since that glass is obscured. Also a shelf in the wardrobe closet, maybe a few rivots in the front and a couple 2x4's under at the back would suffice. Not interested in hanging things up. Non locking hatch latches for hose and sewer covers as well. Cooking and dishwashing outside , weather permitting is easier too. Randy/ Will post our pics when wife gets up.
