I added a couple pics to my album.
Plumb hollow music festival in S.C..
First time pulling trailer. It was as wide as camper. I could see a couple inches of fender in one mirror. Passengers side blocked by awning.
I wish my cruise worked.
First trip with vac gauge.I had 19 or there abouts at idle, saw 23 when i let out of it. I also saw 4 to 6 but did not stay there long.
I did learn my driving style does not favor my vac gauge staying in the greeen, but my coach was a blast to drive approx 165 miles one way.
Bike one day to cowpins, a couple antique shops, and next day bike thru lake lure to black mountain and back. approx 100 mile round trip ride.
Fridge for most part no good, wife claims i need to take her plastic and get a fridge for our upcoming weekend camping.

I get 2 weekends in a row camping, and maybe a fridge if I can find one.
Usually once she says yes, I need to find the correct one, and get it done before she changes her mind.
Otherwise, my weekend alone and riding, I saw I could live nice with the additional one bag of ice a day.
Life is good.

Sir: I put a 3" spacer block on my stock R mirror to get past the awning.
