It really is a learn-as-you-go experience. We have gone through three dish drainers to find one that both my wife and I like (large enough to be useful yet small enough to fit in the sink while we are in motion). Camping isn't necessarily cheaper than staying in motels. However it is better as you get to sleep in your own bed. That way, you can be pretty sure you won't be bringing home any uninvited pests (e.g. bedbugs) like what happened with our daughter once. You can also set your own pace instead of being on someone else's schedule. That is priceless.

We made it! Arrived yesterday. Took a 3 day wind/weather break at blue lake KOA in Onowa Io. 35 $ a night with all the amenitys and wifi that worked in the pod. I took a tumble going to bathroom in the dark, banged up my left hand and both knees. So we laid back and healed. The next days run was super, light n breeze at our tail, we ended up at Pershing SP 15 miles east of Chilicoathe Mo. Wonderful oak forest, 30a + water, paid 19$ for the night. Next day was another great day down to Branson Mo. Found a place after driving past it and not seeing it, and spent 1.5 hours driving the worst 30mph roads I've ever seen. But eventually we found a local who steered us back on the right path. 14$, 30a, no water, city turned it off 30 min before we arrived. But no sweat, tank was full. 'Found out that connecting to city water connection does not fill fresh tank. Ok, live and learn. The drive south out of Branson on highway 7 was long, nerveracking, and totally awesome. We are learning the finer points as we go. Still have way too much stuff. But we are having a blast. Our only real remaining problem at this point is the fridge that is not leveled to the trailer. I can have the pod leveled perfect, and that fridge will beep every other minute no matter what it is set to, 110v,12v, or propane. The only time I ever got it to stop beeping I put a floor jack under the axle and jacked until my wife told me it quit. A full half bubble off. SHESSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH Oh well |

Off level should not cause the refrigerator to beep. It could be that moisture has run down the wires to the door switch. and light Look for the wires and make a small drip loop at the back so moisture can't run down them into the switch/light. Hopefully, that will help with the problem. Dometic's rule for the refrigerator is that if you are comfortable, it should be level enough for the refrigerator.

Our fridge beeped when the door wasn't quite closed.
Sounds like you're off to a fun trip. Things will get more streamlined as you go along. We've been to Hot Springs, AR. Took a tour through one of the old bathhouses and cringed at the thought of people actually thinking that 'Mercury baths' were beneficial! Have fun and good luck!
