Since we arrived at the Great Basin National Park on a Friday the campgrounds were quite full so we had to settle for Baker Creek. We unhooked and drove up the mountain the next day to our planned destination, the Mt. Wheeler Campground, to see if it would be feasible to take the trailer up […]
While I can leave my desk for an extended time, I can’t afford to drop off the grid. Before I could do more than just plan a get-away I had to solve that problem. To the rescue came Delorme’s inReach SE 2-way Satellite Communicator. It allowed me to stay available to VIP customers and as […]

Found that if fresh water was filled to the brim there was a small leak in the inlet side of the pump. The problem… slight mismatch of plastic pipe and brass fitting size. Fixed by adding some RV putty and using a clamp that was slightly wider and instead of regular hose clamp I used […]
Did an overnight trip to see what else needs to be done before going on a more lengthy trip. One shortcoming was storage for personal effects.

More ‘putzin around to personalize mySuite. Added Barrel Bolts to hold the daytime seat-back in place better. As one leaned back the bottom would move out. The bolts will also help to keep the seat-back in place during travel. It had a tendency to wander a bit. Daytime/Travel mode, without […]
During my intro session when I picked up the Suite I was forewarned about opening the window too far. It’s one of those necessary compromises I guess. Has to be easy to open as an Emergency Exit yet serve as a window during normal times. Opening it too far put’s it into emergency mode, breaking […]
Trying it out close to home, I.e. front yard. Added a 1 1/2 inch memory foam pad to sleep area. Maybe a real camping trip this weekend.
Another step completed towards No Setting Up Required when doing a brief stop. Utilized 4 inch pipe and epoxy’d fittings in. Rerouted drain to go into the tank instead of the street side fitting.
Had to redo some fittings so rough-in was as far as I got today. Have to thank ProLite for leaving some extra meat on the fresh water tank brackets. Made it easy to add straps for the home-made grey water tank.
