1st Trip, Broken Item, Weight, & Upgrades of New RV (Shake Down)

1st Trip, Broken Item, Weigh, Upgrades of New RV

On our shake out first trip in our Grand Design Reflection 303 RLS fifth wheel 303 RLS camper, we weighed at a Cat Scale, a brand new item broke, and we made sure we had a few essential upgrades before we headed to Silver Springs State Park.

We show a bit of what it is like as full time RV travelers to move from your trailer you had for 4 years and traveling 50,000 miles, into a new, smaller RV – we are called downsizing makes cents after all.
We gave away, doubted and put items in storage – we plan to be half- timers – soon?

Thanks again to Doc Chris & Debbie ‪@Sheilagene2‬ AND Rob & Michelle ‪@OurlifeWhirlwind‬ for helping us when Larry was in the hospital

We are a married couple in our mid 50s who downsized & sold our house so we can see the sights & enjoy every day to live deliberately as full time RVers - traveling with our dog Scruffy, in our Grand Design Solitude 310 GK fifth wheel.
