First Camping with the Shamrock
Hi friends,
Last weekend was our first camping with our Shamrock 17 ft. Was great, a site close to the Pacific Ocean, close to Santiago de Chile. Everything worked great (Bathroom, furnace, shower, etc...). Full of pupups and travel trailers. Great experience with my family  and happy with the shamrock.
My tow rig is a Tahoe 2001, great vehicle and the fuel consumption was reasonable...

Congrats on the new trailer.
Just an observation, but it looks to me like your awning isn't fully deployed in each photo. The bars that are hanging down in the pictures need to be loosened, slid up to the top of the arms that hold the awning roll, and tightened. You should not be able to push the awning roller back towards the camper once it is set up properly.

Sharp eye! Yes, it has a broken piece, so I preferred to deployed it partially. Regards!
