Did you check for leaks in the roof? I worry about something with all those seams and moving parts. (Maybe I’m just paranoid!)

Great point. We do see that there are some foam seals that need to be replaced. That will be a project. We washed the trailer in a car wash and didn't see any water in the trailer when we opened it up, so that is a good sign.

I laughed when the roof fell on you. Reminded me of my old tent trailer.

Thanks for sharing

I was tempted to edit that out but figured folks would enjoy that!

Super cool! Are you keeping your Rivian reservation in spite of the price increase? Also, remind me, are you going to live in this little trailer full time? Finally, and sorry if I missed it, what did you do with a life-time of accumulated possessions? How long did it take you to get rid of them and are some of them in storage?

Thanks! The Rivian price increase was reversed for reservation holders, so we will eagerly await it. We live in a condo in Jacksonville and plan to stay here--with substantially all our possessions. With the truck and a larger trailer, we hope to travel between 100 and 200 nights per year. For now, with the practice trailer, I expect we'll travel 3-4 nights per month.
