Work sent us to the Dallas area...
I told Better Half we needed to
-- instead of staying in a bed bug environment (hotel) --
take the 5th wheel...
Everyone agreed…
If one of us had not agreed, we would have had
to flip a coin and call it heads or tails…
I generally pick heads which almost always wins the flip…
I want to share with you, my dear reader,
how uncomplicated and efficient it is to
make camp with our beautiful Cameo…
Yep, you bet, the company may
have gone under as soon as we purchased this sweet little baby,
but by golly
Cameo built a fine camper!

Here are the steps we take in 'making camp'...
~Drive up to camp spot.
~Back trailer into camp spot...
we want it fixed just right so the steps from the camp area are perfectly aligned with the steps going into the 5th wheel. This takes me hopping out of the truck, running to the back of the trailer and using lots of hand signals to let Better Half know when it's just right…I also continually survey for possible tree limbs and the occasional something that may get run over while Better Half is backing up…

Unhook trailer from truck...Move truck out of way...
Press the auto levelling button on the side of the trailer...
This little guy levels itself! Can you believe it?
This moves, that moves, the trailer shimmers and shakes and snorts and shouts...
And then...
Wah lah! Tah dah! The whole thing is level!
Magic I say!

The whole levelling process takes about, I don't know, maybe four to five minutes.
A good RV park has 50 amp electrical outlets...That power level
provides the RVer with wonderful electricity...
We can run both air conditioners,
the fridge, tv and lights with that amperage.
Some RV parks have only 30 amp plug ins...not good...especially in the hot summer months...

Our short white hose connects the water from the camper with the water from the RV...
And now, what is considered the most important job of the set up...so important, Better Half insists it be done by me alone...the sewer line set up...
I feel really important because he has given me the most bestest job of the set up...
Toilet maintenance!

Toilet maintenance!
I take a pair of these...pink, I say, so as not to get mine mixed up with Better Half's...
After this most important job is completed, into the camper I go to
slide out the sides...
this adds additional width to the inside of camper...
I simply touch a switch and out the sides go.

The whole set up process --start to finish -- I guesstimate, takes 15 to 20 minutes...
