About that great photo: I see that my computer converted the orientation on my screen to my northern hemisphere location.

I called that version "inverted inverted" Here's the southern hemisphere version My GoPro was attached to the wing strut.

Good stuff, Ron.
Looks like tons of fun.

Edit: I'm continually amazed at the places GoPro's are attached, and that they stay in place.

Dang, this stuff makes me crazy!! I'm trying to make sense of it, but not happening just yet.

Batteries and chargers don't have to drive you crazy because this is stuff you can easily change after you have lived with the trailer for a while and know what you need. (Easier than, for example - adding the 2 way water heater or a bathroom window.)

Will it work to take care of the battery(ies) off season?

Diehard 80/20/10/2 Amp Fully Automatic Battery Charger with Emergency Engine Start (Not Sold in OR or CA) - Walmart.com

According to the advertising blurb on that web page: Yes, it has automatic monitoring of the float charge. Not exactly a "trickle charge" but perhaps even better.

Not kidding anyone, Ron. Your picture obviously taken in Australia.

They make battery caps for airplanes that can fly inverted.

I bet there's a story behind that...

That really is the bottom line. Don't fret about too much to start with, use the trailer and see what works for you and what you might decide to change.

Myron, nope just visible over or is that under my head are the Southern Alps of New Zealand. And while the little plane did manage a circumnavigation of the South Island the only way it would get to Australia would be by boat.

Don, it is amazing what you can do with a GoPro. It's the best camera I've ever had because I can get photos I'd never otherwise get.

Thanks, guys. You're right, batteries can and will be changed! I'll get back to sweating the girl stuff... you know... fabric and formica!

I wouldn't have had enough nerve to say that.

Probably shouldn't have, but I can get away with it a little easier since I am a girl! Well, I was half century ago...

Linda,
When I had my 19' Escape delivered it was a dual delivery with an owner from North Carolina, who was also a "newbie". He drove up from North Carolina and took delivery here in York, Pa. We then took off to a KOA in Gettysburg where I was able to demonstrate how to unhook, extend the awning, operate the pump and other appliances. He was appreciative of the help.
Something you may want to consider if another member close to you could help, if not, I am always available.

Just saw this! Thanks so much. You must be one fine fellow.
