Sounds like a great maiden voyage!

So cool that your first camper is a TM

Very cool that you got to weigh everything - I still need to do this and get a good tongue weight.

I am curious what repairs you had to make before your trip?

I actually bought the camper in good shape - I think the previous owner was a member of this forum and kept it up well.

I needed to secure the rubber bumpers that run from the front and rear to the wheel wells along the bottom of the inner shell - the automotive adhesive was starting to let go so I used contact cement.

I also had no keys for any doors or compartments so had the trailer re-keyed.

I then just went through the trailer to learn the systems and start a list of items to fix over the winter - cabinet hardware; window shield wing nuts; battery; water heater element and/or anode; work on toilet to see if flap needs replacing; velcro shower curtain to folding shower walls; replace shower faucet setup (leaks); fix outdoor shower to not leak; fix stove top cover... there is probably more but that will keep me busy this winter.
