A whole new league of size.......
Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2007 9:01 pm
Well, went for the second trip out in our new bird this past weekend.
Aside from driving through driving rain, arriving there at 10:30 PM in the dark, finding that our reserved spot had been given to someone else and having to park in temporary stall, it was a good trip.
Anyway, I digress, the point I was going to make is that I candidly realized on this trip that this new 36-2bh is clearly in a different league for size. In our acreage yard, it didn't look all that big or daunting - as I quickly found out this weekend however, in a heavily treed mountain park campground, it looks and feels like the Titanic.
Maneuvering this rig in and out of even average size spots is VERY different from our old 28 footer. Takes approach planning, exit planning.
Maybe I'll get used to it. I hope so.
All in all I did OK, but it was pretty intimidating to be totally honest. I hadn't expected it to dwarf the campsites as much as it did.
Any of you guys had that "OK, did I overdo it here" moment, regarding the size of your rigs?
Cheers,
Shawn
