2nd trip under way.

Made it to the campsite for our 2nd trip in the new trailer. Bit overcast right now, but the forecast is for sun and hot temps over the next 3 days. Set up was faster and easier than the first trip - managed to get to the adult beverage part of the day that much sooner lol. Click image for larger version

Looks good each time is a little easier. give some thought to tilting your awnings in case of rain (will save you a bent awning roller) and also awning poles.

Every time you do it it becomes easier. Your 2nd picture shows you have plenty of slope on your awning. It's best to set up with slope every time so if it rains while you gone, the water will run off. My awning is out 24/7 for 4 months every year. You and your better half will get into a rhythm and you'll be surprised how easy it gets.

"managed to get to the adult beverage part of the day that much sooner" That is number 3 in the 10 camping commandments.
