On the drive over to the campground (I pretty much had to bribe him to get this smile, but it was worth it because HE IS ADORABLE)
Trent hooking up the power. The campground had electric hookups but no water. That's fine, since Clark isn't dewinterized yet. We just used the facilities at the park.
In the RV with the slideout extended. The slideout makes the RV seem positively spacious.
Dinner! I made this at home and then we re-heated it in the microwave in the RV. We didn't try to turn the stove on. Baby steps.

Morning in a very cold RV. We were fine while we were under the covers, but by the time breakfast rolled around we felt like we were living in an icebox. Trent consulted the owner's manual, turned on the propane, and got the furnace fired up. Nothing exploded. Success.
I made coffee in the morning. I can give up most things, but coffee is not one of them. We brought the grounds with us, heated up water in the microwave, and concocted our brew in the press pot.
Lessons learned:
- We picked the right RV for us. Clark is great, with tons of storage space, lots of comfortable seating, and room enough for three people who have already spent the past two years in close quarters.
- You can not know what you're doing and still avoid breaking your house on wheels. Especially if one of you actually cracks open the owner's manual and follows the instructions.
- Climate control is probably going to be a challenge. We're going to do our best to move with the seasons so that we don't have to excessively heat or cool our rig, but weather is hard to predict. We anticipate some uncomfortable days and nights every now and then no matter how well we plan.
- I like the people I live with. That's a good thing.
- This was fun and I want to do it again! Like, now.
