We took out TT out for the first time. We have had it for 2 weeks and finally got to take it out for the first time. The whole family went and I still had to tent camp the first night. My mother father, sister, her husband and all the kids went. So I was the nice guy and let them all sleep inside. Man it was HOT!!!! Everything went pretty well. I think the only thing that went sorta bad was the dumping of the black tank, and its not even that bad. The outlet pipe doesn't have the little hook things to connect the hose to it. So I had to hold the sewer hose to the TT. It leaked a little but not bad.
We had our pontoon boat there as well. It was a hit with the kids they went tubing and kneeboarding off of it. My daughter and one of my nieces got up on the kneeboard for the first time.
Friday night was a good night. When I got to the camp another guy had pulled in just ahead of me. I introduced myself to him, and asked of he minded me helping him set up his TT. He asked why I told him it was my first time camping in mine, and I wanted to learn by helping him. So I helped him set his up then he helped me with mine. It was pretty nice having a seasoned camper help me along the way. As he was leaving he asked if I like Bluegrass or Country Music. I said well of course. He said "Well good cause I'm gonna play you some tonight." I asked if he liked homemade wine, he said "Of course". And I told him good cause we are gonna drink some tonight. So we had a good time that night drinking homemade wine and listening to him and his band play music. It was a great first trip. The worse part was tearing down and coming home. But I was excited to get home and tell all you guys and gals about it. Thanks for listening.

One end of the sewer hose doesn't have the hookie things, the other end does.

Yeah the pipe that comes from the TT doesn't have the little hook things but our sewer hose does. So that is why I had to hold it on there. It didn't have anything to hook to, it just slipped over the end of the pipe from the TT.

Glad to hear someone had a gooderest weekend. Even though I was stuck home cutting grass and what have you. Yes I agree with you, the hardest part of any trip is heading the rig home. Bill

Ther must be something wrong with the sewer outlet pipe if you have to hold it in pace while dumping. Be sure to get that figured out!
