In the weeks before our trip we began our preparation to hit the road. We bought some supplies from Independence RV when we purchased the trailer, like the water and sewage lines, tank treatment product, LED lights and the hitch. But as we’ve watched videos and read articles about RVing we realized that we would need a few more supplies to get started. A visit to Amazon helped us obtain some roof vent covers, a sewer hose holder and some other items.
The weekend before leaving we installed some vent covers over the roof vents to allow for better air circulation and I took some time to see how the connections for water and sewer would work. As a first time RVer – the prospect of hooking up and making sure that your connections work is a little intimidating. We are fortunate that there are some very good forums like iRV2.com and YouTube that have a wealth of information on how to hook up. But, we know that the no matter how much you read of view videos, the only way to really learn is to just get out there and do it.
Here are some picks of James installing the Camco RV Vent covers that we bought on Amazon.
It is good thing that we installed the vent covers, because during that process we realized that the front vent cover on the trailer was cracked! It sits right over our bed, so it is a good thing that it is now weatherproof.
We are looking forward to heading out to Cedar Key on the Maiden Voyage of Casita de Everett.
