First time Camping in the T@B
Last weekend I picked up the T@B trailer from Phoenix with a friend of mine . We made the trip there and back to Phoenix from Ventura in 36 hours. That’s about a 1,000-mile trip and it was much easier than I thought. The very next day the family and I took it out for a quick overnight camping trip at El Capitan State Beach just north of Santa Barbara.
Since the van wasn’t ready yet we had to take out the other family car. It did okay towing the trailer but it definitely consumed a significant amount of gas at speeds higher than 60 mph. It almost seemed like I could see the gauge dip as I drove along the freeway.
We hadn’t figured out how everything works yet and the campsite did not have any hook ups. We slept without any heating and it got pretty cold at night. Overall, it was pretty good and the campsite was practically empty because it is the weekend after Thanksgiving.
The next step now is to get everything tuned and to figure out what we will need for future trips. I brought the van into the conversion shop last weekend and it will be done the Friday before Christmas. Can’t wait. I will be posting some more photos of our complete setup once it is ready.
