It looks like you had a wonderful time being out.  It takes practice getting backed in...there are times when all I hear is a voice but no partner telling me where to go...yet in the great scheme of things, we're getting a lot better backing into a camping spot.  

Happy Podding!

Glad to hear your first trip out was a good one.  A little ceramic heater is definently a wise purchase.  We were in Souther Indiana this past weekend also and our little heater we take had us hot and opening windows in the middle of the night.  Plus it's very quiet!
 
Good luck on the hand signals.  Let us know how those work out!

Picked up the RP-172 last Thursday and set out Saturday morning for Hoosier Nat Forest, was better than expected, its pulls great, seems like it likes 55 to 60 mph (remember when u double the velocity the drag increases 4 times) really hilly in Southern Ind. I did not break anything, Wife and I are going to have to work on hand signals when I am backing into a spot. (folded arms tells me nothing) We had a Blast, cooked outside and in, I(yes the smoke detector went off for a good laugh) we walked about 3 miles in the hills (good for 62 year old bellies) Just like a couple of High School kids. The furnace is a little noisy in the middle of the night, time for a ceramic heater. making a too do list. Can't wait for the next trip, I think we can get in at least 1 to 3 more trips before having to winterize. Donna is alreay planning on next spring. thanks to all for the tips, it made our first trip out really a great memory with more in the Future.
see ya on the road. Dane and Donna.
