T-Bird Travel

Like a zillion other Americans, we’ll be traveling at Thanksgiving, taking the EDGE to places unseen via roads untraveled. Santee, CA, near San Diego, is where my two sons, Tod and Adam, live and we’ll be joining them for the feast. We’ll drive over the day before, spend a couple nights in Santee then another 2-3 at a campground either on the Salton Sea or the Colorado River.

This will be our first EDGE trip since returning from our 4-month summer odyssey in late September. We’ve done a few modifications to the trailer since returning, including the replacement of the noisy but wimpy el cheapo bathroom ceiling fan with a large, quiet and reversible Fantastic Fan/Vent. It has 3 speeds, it blows, it sucks, it’s freakin fantastic!
.
And, we removed the bathroom door and replaced it with a curtain. The door opened inward, taking up most of the small bathroom floor area and banging into the sink and blocking access to the closet that contains most of our clothing. It was a pain in the butt in more ways than one. True, a curtain doesn’t allow for much privacy but in reality neither did the door; it had 1’ gaps at top and bottom.

A person who is hugely embarrassed by the sounds of normal body functions shouldn’t buy a travel trailer – or else be prepared to sing/whistle/stomp their feet to cover the noise. Hey, at my age just being able to produce said sounds is a major accomplishment - even, one might say - wait for it …… a truly moving experience. It’s something to celebrate rather than denigrate. Holler woo-hoo and break out the champagne!
