Got back from a great trip

Went to Tippecanoe River Indiana State Park. Finally, everything worked good with the camper and didn't have any issues. Got all my appliances working correctly now.

Had a great trip, parents came out and had a great time. Did some good cooking and walking the open trails.

Finally got to enjoy the camper for the features I love about it.

Campsite I reserved was HUGE and even had a shared water spigot next the site which was super convenient!

Campsite was so level didn't need one lynx leveler.

Indiana parks only offer electric, so having the water spigot close was a feature I looked for in a campsite. Dump station was open and clean as well.

They also had an excellent shower house with very clean showers and toilets. Offered soap and electric hand dryer blowers. Not all parks offer soap and a way to dry your hands.

Since I was wanting all my campers amenities to work I didn't use the shower house. I did find I do need to do some recaulking on the shower but that's normal. After a few first uses on my previous 2007 Starcraft pop up, I needed to caulk the exact same spots as this Rockwood, where the toilet housing meets the plastic shower walls.

Toilet operated great as well with the new valve seal that previously was deformed and leaked.

Here's some pics of the campsite and park.


Also here's some pics of the inside of the camper while getting used.

Temps were a lot milder with high 70s and low 80s so opened the camper all the way up to the screens this time. This was a main feature I really wanted in getting out of the travel trailer and back into a pop up. I love that all the walls are screen!
