Stood Pat In Trailer Roulette

Our trailer is still on the same site. Ditto The Chief Of Staff’s sister’s trailer. But our nephew (son of The Chief Of Staff’s sister) moved his from an OK site to a superior site with a nice view of the lagoon, no trailers behind his site, off the main park road between the circle & the clubhouse.

Even though the guys on the tractor committee did the actual trailer moving, lots of preparation beforehand & re-setup afterward were involved. The whole bunch of us pitched in to get that done in short order. No blood was shed, no fingers pinched, no flesh bruised, no serious harm to any people or property all during the move.

At our own dinky 34-foot trailer (The Chief Of Staff’s & mine), we had a heck of a time getting the water supply hose connection to quit leaking, & we discovered that the propane-gas water heater no longer works. Fortunately, there’s a back-up electric water heater, so nobody had to take a cold shower. Also fortunately, the propane-gas furnace works, so we slept cozy even though night-time temperatures were down in the low 50s.

A friend & neighbor who just came into the park this year had her trailer installed on a site that had been without a trailer for at least 1 full season. Grass & weeds had completely grown over the sewer pipe connection, so before we could get her wastewater drain connected to the sewer we had to use a screwdriver for poka-poka-poka in the ground till we found the sealed-up sewer opening, followed by digga-digga-digga to get access. Fortunately we had 2 pairs of wide-jaw pliers in the hands of 2 men with strong grips for twista-twista-twista to get the drain seal unscrewed.

Saturday evening after most of the trailers were in place, there was a pizza party in the clubhouse & a good time was had by all.
