Brought the camper home yesterday.  Thursday evening the dealership called to say that the repair work had been completed and we could pick up the TT sometime after 2:00 pm on Friday.  I made the 200 mile trip over to pick it up, looked at the work they did (which, by the way thought was very good), and pulled the TT home… again, about 200 miles.  This was the first substantial pull since we bought this trailer.  I’ll be writing some reviews of some of the items that were used during the pull (i.e the Equal-i-zer hitch, Longview tow mirrors, etc.), so keep an eye out for that.  I’ll admit I started the return trip out a bit white-knuckled, but after a while I was able to relax once I got familiar with the towing characteristics of the tow vehicle, trailer, hitch, etc.  Overall I can say that I was extremely impressed with the towing characteristics of this trailer.

Now the bad news.  Once we got the trailer parked, we noticed that the problem we had repaired returned.  Not in the exact same location… but very nearby.  So the repair that the dealership made held up fine, but this new problem makes me wonder if there is an underlying, bigger problem.  Apparently the jostling of towing the trailer exposed this latest situation.

I really dread having to tow that trailer all the way back to that dealership again, knowing it will be at least another three weeks turnaround time.  But I’ll make the call on Monday and get the ball rolling.

We still took advantage of having the trailer here.  Laura and I spent several hours loading stuff in the trailer, installing a few items, making some minor adjustments, cleaning, taking some measurements for future projects, etc.  It was nice to get inside and get some of these things done.  Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera along, so photos of our projects weren’t recorded.  I’ll get some photos to post later.

We are still going to try to get a weekend out camping in a couple of weeks or so.  We’re anxious to put the TT to use.
