3 cheers for our truck drive, our truck drive, our truck driver

3 cheers for our truck driver. He's with us today! If you have been reading my blog you know that Brian and Carla are buying Dave and Shan's camper. Well on Saturday Dave hooked the camper up to his truck and off we went. Dave has only pulled the camper 4 times before and NEVER on the interstate. Now, there were times when he told us, afterwards, of some scary moments. Like when a truck passes it sucks the camper over to the fast line into the truck!. I, sitting in the back, was quite unaware of any of these problems and thought things were going very smoothly. But, Dave handled it like a Pro and we made it to the site. Set up - different matter. All the other times Dave has just pulled straight into the space and unhooked the camper. Not so lucky this time. This one was a back in. Do you know how confusing it is to turn the steering wheel the opposite way you want the camper to go? Add to that lots of trees and two huge rocks in the way. After more attempts than I care to remember finally the camper was in place! It is all set up. Brian and Carla are happy little campers - no pun intended - and I want to give a big cheer to our truck drive. He did a great job and I am very proud of him!! So, if ya need your camper backed into a spot Dave's your man! Great job, Dave. Your mom loves you!!!

I'm glad you pointed out the rocks, ditches, etc that made the final placement so difficult. Backing in is not too bad as long as you have room to move around. The spot was pretty tight there! I'm glad they're liking their new 'home!'
