Oh, Sh*t Moments
If an alien species were to use Instagram as their only source of information on travel, they would undoubtedly conclude that every trip involves going to the most beautiful spots imaginable in places where nothing ever goes wrong. That is NOT what they would find here.
An unavoidable truth about traveling by trailer is that, eventually, something will go wrong. In fact, the number of things that will go wrong will be directly tied to the amount of time you spend on the road! Some of theses will be very minor. Others, probably a bit more problematic. If you know they are going to happen, the best thing you can do is roll with the punches, and get on with it. A positive attitude seems to be the best tool.
So, we thought we’d share with you some of the less glamorous things that we encounter in our journeys!
“Oh no! Not the eggs!
We read somewhere that when driving down the road, your trailer is subjected to hurricane-force winds, and earthquake-force vibrations. Given that fact, opening the door to the trailer after arriving at your campsite can be an anxiety-producing endeavor. You aren’t ever really sure what you might find.
This time we found that our refrigerator door had popped open and spewed forth some of its contents onto the floor. The absolute worst part of this was the loss of about $100 worth of eggs (a/k/a a half dozen)! Though if you asked Mack, he would say he didn’t see what the problem was as he really enjoyed helping with the clean up.
