"Adventure" #1: Storage
The wife and I took delivery of our 2018 Coleman Light 2515RL travel trailer on December 16th, 2017.

Having no practice backing up a 29 foot trailer myself, I asked the storage owner (a professional truck driver) if he was okay with parking the rig for us. He was happy to oblige. But first, I know there is something I need to do with this anti-sway bar before we can back up the trailer... Wife and I argue for 15 minutes about what needs to be done and consult the documentation. Oh yea, we need to remove it! Pull the two cotter pins securing the bar to the balls at both ends of the bar and just lift it off. Easy enough. It's time to drop the trailer. Now the fun starts.
