Pre Full Time Shake Down

June is our final down sizing month and test runs with our current set up.  While we have been RVing since the early 90's for a few weeks to a months each year this will be our first time doing it full time.  We hope to be full time by the end of July.

Just got back from a weeks shake down and found many things to get rid of and several to add.  While camping two nearby RV's got hit by a quick 1 minute wind gust taking out two of our neighbors awnings.  We avoid using our attached awning as much as possible. We use a  42 dollar stand a lone awning we bought at WalMart it has been blown around 3 times in the past two years.  When it breaks we can pay less then $50 to replace it at any WalMart, you can see it over the table.

We also tried out adding the silver bubble wrap outside the refrigerator to reduce the heat to the refrigerator.  The bubble wrap worked by reducing the refrigerator inside temp by 5 degrees:)
