Our first camping trip with Kaiser

We went to Lo Lo Mai in page springs for our first outing in Kaiser.  It is a campground we were really familiar with as we have stayed the cabins and in tent spots.  This location was ideal as well because it is conveniently located next to a wonderful winery.  We are now card carrryin' members of the "Page Springs Cellars Club".  I will be expecting a delivery of three bottles of wine every three months.  Our wonderful friends the Vessey's joined us with their tent.  We enjoyed our day at several wineries and several bottles of wine in the evening. The night ended playing an aggravating game called "aggravation" of all things.  I still don't know the rules.  Could be something to do with the "several" bottles of wine.

  Just sayin'.

We realized we needed a few more items to make our camping experience more wonderful.  We need a step.  Kaiser's height is a little too much for our old joints. We need a wheel on the jack thingmabob(I will have to have Martin fill me in on its actually name) and some miscellaneous kitchen tools.  And a bigger carpet piece.  Oh, and curtains too.  A touch of class doesn't cover much.  And the faucet leaks.  But overall a very successful first run.  We love you Kaiser!

 Our wonderful tow vehicle, the X3.  Pulled the trailer beautifully. I love the reflection of the red cliff in the car widow.

 Our pink flamingos!

Even the flamingos were a little drunk after the night of wine.

Finishing touches before our first camping trip

Here is the progress so far:
 Painted the underside of the trailer with elastomeric paint

 Fixed the door handle so it functions

 Painted the hitch

 Painted the original stripe.  I call it his "Flair" (not flare)


We are going camping tomorrow.  I still haven't gotten curtains or blinds for the windows, so we might be a little exposed.
