When I was hitching up the trailer the other night, I didn't have one of the sway bars inserted far enough into the truck hitch. The holding pin went in fine, but it missed the bar. Bar fell out, luckily while I was in town at slow speed. I recovered everything, but it damaged the metal clasp keeping the sway bar in place. That part had to be ordered. Took 5 days to arrive. So I spent 5 days in a hotel in Sioux City.

I bet I don't do that again, lol.

Jeepers Trip, it seems that you're spending more time in hotels than in your trailer. LOL

Ha, seems like it to me, too. But in reality, since Aug 22, I have spent 15 days in hotels and the rest in my RV. The reason is, I am just now, today, getting to my first place i actually planned to visit. Badlands National Park in western South Dakota.

So, until now, I really haven't had anything interesting to report. Hopefully, today will change things. And the weather today is starting out perfectly. Blue skies, no clouds, temp around 70.
