RE: Fresh Water Drain
Ours has a tap at the back corner on the driver's side. (Not your make or model). If you can see the tank, look for a line coming out of it other than to the pump. trace this.

RE: Pleated shades, should I tow with them up or down?
We travel with the rear window and the passenger side window up so that we can see. Other one varies and it tends to drop in transit.
I need to replace a lot of the strings when I get the courage.

RE: First Time
And walk around the unit whenever you are going to drive it out. You want to make sure that the electric, water, sewer and cable connections are stowed. Check the TV aerial. Check the steps and any slide-outs.
Be cautious about where you leave the unit downtown. People have an idea how much stuff there is in an RV. We tend to take up 2 to 4 parking spots (a 30-footer) and it's nice to have a drive-through.
We only used the rig for touring on one trip. Ever since then we've rented a car.

RE: Height of Unit
Tip:
Make a label with the height and put it where you can see it while you drive. (Mine is on a section of the rear-view mirror that doesn't show anything.)
Translate the height into meters and put that on too.
Bearing down on an overpass at 60mph is no time for doing arithmetic in your head.

RE: Insert Trim Replacement
Ours pulled out enough to catch on the door. So far, I just snipped it and pushed it back into the channel.

RE: Moisture behind mattress? (Cold caught us)
We found that we were getting water on the walls of cupboards that were along the outer walls. We now put dehunidifier units (chemical things with a bucket -- I forget the brand name) on the floor of the closets. i started by thinking there was a leak.
We had the mattress/sheets freeze to the back wall.

RE: Travel trailer necessities
I haven't seen a flashlight in any of the lists.
I like the ones that fit over your head and point where you're looking. Sometime in the trip you'll have to go outside and check a propane supply or the circuit breaker or ...
A cheap set of a lot of screwdriver bits.If you wear one out, you can replace it with something sturdier.
Electrical converters (doglegs) you only need the ones that your RV will plug in to.

RE: Disney World 12/21
If you're going to DW, look up the All Ears website. They have lots of good advice.
And check the ticket prices. The last couple of times we went, we stayed over 2 weeks and found annual passes were cheaper than multiple shorter passes. I think the AP covers parking.
We've also stayed at the Kissimmee KOA. (DW is in K., not Orlando)

RE: Campgrounds north Grey, Bruce County's Ontario?
Woodland Park in Sauble Beach is top rated. We had a permanent trailer there for years.
But the beach may not be all there due to high lake levels.

RE: Bay Of Fundy / Nova Scotia
If you go around the Cabot Trail, go clockwise. That puts you in the lane farther from the sea. There is one (at least) steep downhill.
Based on our trip about 45 years ago.

RE: Accidentally winterized the water heater
The bypass is so that you don't put 8 gallons of antifreeze into the tank when you dont have to.
