It's a Retro

 I said there might be another post... I didn't lie.

We did add another trailer to our collection of assets.

ON THE WAY TO NEW HOME

FINALLY HOME

How about a quick tour...

...O.K., you've seen it all, it is only 24 feet long from hitch to back. Now that we have teased, I'll show some more.

This is a small travel trailer, so there is limited storage which can be found under the bed, in the dinette seats, various cabinets, a shelf as one enters the trailer, and an outside side-to-side storage bay.

Unlike some of the older small trailers, this trailer has what is called a dry bath, vice a wet bath. The big difference is that the floor in a wet bath serves at the shower floor, meaning the toilet is sitting in the shower. Our toilet is separate from the shower...

All the appliances are made by GE, with the refrigerator operating on 12 DC electricity.

This refrigerator is the same size as the one in our Arctic Fox, 10 cubic feet. The difference is the depth of this fridge, it doesn't have the chemical catalyst hardware requiring part of the compartment space.

The bed is a queen that we can walk around... no climbing over each other at night. At the head of the bed is a little cubby on each side, and a nightstand, That nightstand is actually part of the outside storage bay. This is an inexpensive trailer, and the mattress proves it, so Carol and I will be changing it out to a better mattress.

The stove/oven isn't too spectacular...

... except for the lighting around the burner knobs. The sink is a farm style stainless steel sink.

The one item Carol and I noticed was the lack of drawers.

Looking under the sink was a bit of a surprise. The bottom left panel hides the water pump for the trailer, and the other side is currently wasted space, but that will change. I'm going to break the tour for a minute. 

I took care of the no drawer for silverware. Went on Wayfair and found this sliding drawer set up. By the way, the space below this slide out will become more storage after I put the divider in.

O.K., back on tour.

This counter and cabinet will probably be home for our air Fryer oven. The cabinet will be used for bathroom items and the trash can. At the bottom right side of this cabinet is the water heater. This area is suppose to be for the TV too, but we my not even worry about a TV.

The big windows on the trailer have black-out blinds...

It might be hard to see, but the item I like on this control panel is the option for running the water heater on gas, or electric.

The last part of the tour is the two batteries I asked to be installed, instead of just one, as originally designed.

The spot you see the batteries in now is not their current location. When I returned to the dealership to have them install the distribution/anti-sway hitch, we came across an issue... the hitch component needed to be mounted where the front battery box support was located. A discussion with the dealership rendered a solution that moved the battery box support backets further back (into the area of the photo that contains gravel). 

The tour is over, the trailer is now resting peacefully in a storage space at the park, where we can visit it anytime we want to. There are still a few things we want to do.

So.... what else has been happening here.

Carol and I continue to work our committees, not much venturing... and earthquakes. The last few days we have had a few earthquakes close to home. The first one was about 2:50 am, and sounded like an explosion to me. It was short, then there was an after shock about 3:06 am, not quite as bad. The next morning Carol and I learned that the park was only about a thousand yards from the epicenter; the first time either of us have been this close to an epicenter. Remember, I grew up in California, and made it through the Sylmar disaster in the 70's.

You are now up to date with all our fun.
