Prepping for Florida/Georgia Part III
Got a call yesterday, the trailer is almost ready from her checkup at the dealership. I've got my packing lists completed and bought a few new additional items that I've had on the list for the winter and wanted to get before our trip.
First, we got a new dash cam for the truck. My old one was ok, but it was starting to act a little flaky and it didn't have some of the features that I wanted like Wifi connectivity and easily removable. This new little guy mounts to the windshield, like the old one, but is held in place by a magnet so I can pull it out when I'm parking somewhere I don't feel like leaving it. It also has a little button separate from the camera that you can push if you want it to save a still picture. (Not sure that I will use that but there it is.)
Secondly, we have a separate instant pot for the trailer now. I like to cook in the slow cooker when we are out travelling sometimes because you can put stuff, leave, come back and you have a meal all ready for you. Plus, it makes cleaning up a bit easier. We tried the instant pot on our last outing of 2018 and loved it, so now there is a dedicated one for the trailer.
Another item we got was an ice maker. Not a huge behemoth, but a little counter top unit. We don't use a ton of ice for drinks, but we do for our cooler. This little guy can make over 20 lbs of ice a day and will come in useful for when we have company over at the house as well. It won't take very long for it to have earned it's keep.
Finally, we picked up a tiny little heater that looks like a fireplace. Yes, the trailer has heat both electric and gas and it works well too, but something about this little thing spoke to me. When I have the fireplace working here at home it's just so relaxing and having a little one that I can pull out and have my fake fire on a cold night while I read a book just seems more like home.
All we have to do now, is bring the trailer home, load up, put the TMPS sensors on and hit the road!
I Can't Wait!
