One Last Pull

Well, we got the camper in a couple of weekends ago to get the toilet valve replaced, add some bolts to a loose stabilizer, air up the tires, and have it winterized. And now it's time to pick it up and bring it home.
Well, at least to take it back to the storage facility.
Looks like the total bill comes in just under $400 which is good. Next year we'll probably have to fork out for some new tires. I am working on budgeting that in as we speak.
I will schedule to pick it up next Saturday and it will be the last time we pull the camper until our first scheduled camping trip, when I will dewinterize, in April. Probably going to spend some time in Cape Girardeau at a campground we like there.
It's less fun to hook up and pull when you're not really going anywhere fun. But it still has to be done.
Onward and upward, and looking forward to the next season of camping.

Looks like you get a lot of good use out of that thing.

It’s sort of like when a long vacation is over, and you have to drive or fly back home. It’s a dreaded trip back because you know the fun is done until next time.

@porwest On the start of a trip, the excitement of knowing you’re on vacation carries you, and long drives don’t seem so bad. But at the end, knowing you have to return to the real world, well that makes the trip so much more dreadful and long.

@moffittjc I will say the trip down to Florida is usually a long one. We break it up into two days. We still make it a fun adventure, though. On the way back it's no detours and pedal to the metal. lol Although we DID stop at Buc-Ees on the way back, but we planned to do it that way.
