The pup from hell part 2

After getting the trailer parked where we wanted it , I walked up to it and quickly realized the campsite was on a slope  and getting it level  would be a chore . No big deal though  right ? I have had other trailers and  gave myself a crash course on leveling before I left  , so I figured I could handle it  . Minor glitch don't you think ?  Well I reached in the front compartment for leveling blocks and only found two pieces of 2x4  .... not enough to do the job for sure 😞 now what ? I called the owner to find out if we were missing anything or if the blocks or somewhere else , but we were not.  I was told that if they were not there then he didn't know what happened to them  ... I had read on the Facebook group that you were not supposed to level a pup with the stabilizer jacks  ,  and ruining someone else's equipment what's the last thing I wanted to do! So again I call the owner back and ask them what to do  , to which they replied "use the stabilizers to leve

The pup from hell part 1

Introduction

As a young child, like many I grew up camping. Some of my fondest memories of my Dad always include camping with my 3 brothers and my step mom . On any given weekend we would pack up the dirt bikes and head out to the desert  ,  set up camp and go dirt bike riding  for  the weekend . Other times we just went to the mountains  to  enjoy nature , fish , hike  and relax . Oh and yes I always out fished the three boys ! Cuz that's just what little sisters do ! Later on as we got older my Dad purchased a Coleman tent trailer so that it made camping easier on  him and my step mom .We sure made some great memories camping all those years . And as a teenager when I was old enough to take the pup out by myself ,  I didn't waste any time taking it  out  with friends and making my own memories . Eventually though , Dad upgraded again and sold the beloved Coleman we all grew up in  . I knew then I would want one of my own someday  , and so after many many years of tent camping , owning va
