RE: Have you used it this year
Only about 27 days this year with maybe another couple to come. Not as muchas we would like but mine and dhs schedule does not always mesh well. Plus we took kids to Hawaii for 9 days instead of camping this year.

If you do go SR20 over the North Cascades and like rustic camping stop at Colonial Creek campground 20 some miles east of Marblemount. Also stop at washington pass overlook for some gorgeous views.

RE: Battery power left?
We just got back from a 7 night dry camping trip. We fired up the generator every day for 1-2 hours to charge the batteries and my Nook. Worked great. We have two batteries but dh has been slow in hooking them in parallel. Had he done that we would have recharged e/o day although how much I read my nook would not last. We did not need the furnace.
Only challenge was water conservation. Only one shower for me and the last two days we pottied at the camp potty during the day. Grey water was fine but black was almost full.

RE: New Travel Trailer Campers
Our Dutchmen trailer has that exact same layout and has worked well the last 2 years for our family. Our kids are 11 & 7.5. It should work for us for several more years. While I would like a slide out it is not necessary. I use over the door hooks on the bathroom for towels and put some stick on hooks in the bathroom and kitchen next to the sink for hand towels. In our bedroom I put two stick on hooks for coats. The next I want to do is put a metal shelf in each closet for better clothing storage.
Enjoy and have fun camping!

RE: Generator
We just bought a Honda 2000 and use it last week up at a NPS campground to charge batteries and electronics each day. Loved it. Easy to start by even my 11 yo ds. Generator hours there were 8am-8pm. And on eco mode the creek drowned out the sound.

RE: General question about trip planning
We visited my grandparents every summer in AZ growing up. When I was little they live in Phoenix and I always melted. Then they moved up near Pine and Payson in Strawberry. That is up in the mountains and would be 90's during the day and down to 60 at night. Wonderful. And it is a dry heat there. BTW we went in a minnie winnebago motorhome. I can't wait to take my kids to the Grand Canyon but will a while.

RE: Working the bugs out of new TT
We just got back from 7 nights dry camping and were so thankful for our Honda generator recently purchased for this trip and others we do. Our tanks held up okay but mainly because we "bathed" in the lake except for one shower I took.
The black filled but lasted with us using the nearby bathroom to go during the day. And the grey was fine but we use paper plates and I am used to cleaning with pretty conservative water use due to years of tent camping. We tend to always cook outside on our old coleman stove and a portable gas grill and use the trailer for comfy beds and sitting area. Others want all the comforts of home so take my comments with that in mind.
When at state parks and no hook ups we use the camp shower. I know some don't like it but I prefer that to having to get a tote or moving to dump. Where we were this time had no showers. I did add about 5 gallons of water and we came home with some.
My dh keeps a bunch of tools in the trailer at all times plus duct tape. That has gotten the most use.
Have fun camping.

RE: Generators
All I know is that we could barely hear our Honda 2000 from the fire area this past week when we revved it up to charge batteries while at a nps park. The nearby creek was louder. My dh had wanted to buy the champion and was so happy I won the argument.

RE: Dad gets the bunk, mom & kids get the queen?
Sometimes it is that way. Kid falls asleep while we are all in bed watching a dvd. I usually make dh move to the bottom bunk. Ds is on the couch usually. The rat cage is on the top bunk. We travel with our pets. Not a big deal. At home kids in their own beds butcamping is whatever.
