We have everything planned out, and the heart of our adventure comes soon, so now it's time to announce the trip. For those with some experience with this, you guessed it, it's our shakedown!
Yes, that's why it's going to be trip zero instead of one. The trip will be a shakedown near our current home. This will give us a chance to try it all out. We'll want to make sure everything in the rig works, using the various modes available. This adventure isn't going to go very far, just in case we need to enact something on the limited warranty. Packing what we need and setting up what we anticipate as has been detailed in this blog, we'll head to an undisclosed location and live for a bit. Heading back, that'll give us time to adjust what we do or don't need, and then we're off on our first real adventure, which we'll be telling you about in the coming weeks.
The packing process is going to be arduous. One tip about this is to try to find some family that will help you store your belongings. Even if you have to rent a small storage shed for a while; the last thing you want to do is to throw everything out. When you get rid of something, you may find that you'll need it later, or it's a family heirloom, and you'll regret tossing it. Obviously you shouldn't be a complete pack rat; you'll probably find some things you definitely don't want. However, don't feel like you have to give it all up. There are reasonable storage sheds out there, and if you find you really didn't need it after a while, you can always have a shed sale. That's similar to a yard sale, but you'd sell what's in the shed.
With the shakedown just days away, remember to follow your internal compass.
