I'm solo camping this weekend guys but this is only my fourth time backing up and setting up my
travel trailer my Little Guy Max at my campsite and I'm a little bit nervous and I have no way
of knowing how this is to go. But I want to share my experience with you
regardless of how it goes because if you're an RV newbie or if you're like me and want to do
some solo camping I hope you watching me do this will hopefully take away any fears that you have.
Fingers crossed that I don't embarrass myself too bad. Okay, let's do this.
Okay I've got all my freshwater now let's go find my campsite
and hopefully it's gonna be easy to back up into.
Oh, there's my campsite. Oh my gosh, it's up a hill. The first thing I want to do is go scout out
the campsite before I start backing up. Oh, it's a nice big campsite. So the electric hookup is right
there. This means I've got to back up in between these trees right there up a hill. Oh, this is
going to be a little challenging. Okay, let's do this. Yeah, it's always so nerve-wracking.
I'm gonna get out to make sure I'm not hitting that tree.
Nope, I still got some room. Okay, let's do this.
Ah, there's somebody waiting for me. Sorry, you're gonna have to wait. You're going by me. Uh,
more people coming. Okay, there you go. Go by me. Well, this is nerve-wracking going up a hill.
Better go check again. Hopefully, I'm not hitting anything.
Okay. Yeah, I'm way off course.
I'm gonna pull forward and then try to back up straight again. Let's try this again.
Okay this is looking better. I'm now on this side of the tree so all I need to do
is continue on going back and there's nothing for me to hit. Those trees are over there.
Okay straight back. I got this.
If somebody's watching me I wonder what they're thinking. But I don't care.
Oh, I think I'm doing it.
Oh my gosh, I think I did it.
Let's go see if I did it.
Yep, my electric hookup is gonna be long enough.
When I'm camping with my husband Tom he's the one that does all the backing up and setting
up the campsite so what I'm thinking about when I pull into a campground with him is
I can't wait to see where I'm going to be camping for the weekend. But when I'm solo camping the
only thing I'm thinking about is I hope I can back my camper into the campsite. And backing
up has been so challenging for me. That's why I decided to finally go to RV driving school.
I've gained the confidence that I need because I know that even if I get to a campsite that's gonna
be challenging I can do it. Because I now know that if I take my time and think things through
I think that now I could probably get into any campsite. But every time I do back up and have
a new situation I'm learning something and I'm gaining more confidence. Although as you saw
I still have a lot of practicing to do. I still have a lot more to do to get this campsite set up
and I wish I could tell you that backing up was my only challenge but that couldn't be further
from the truth. This is how the second part of the setup process went. This was challenging.
Click on this video here now to watch and see what the next big
challenge was that I never expected to happen. So I can't wait to see you over in this video next.
