End of 2020 Camping Season

This was our first year with our 2020 Forest River Micro Lite 21FBRS, and so far no issues. My 2018 EcoDiesel got a set of airbags with onboard 100% duty cycle air compressor from Timber Grove to assist the rear coils and improve the ride.

We only got to make two (2) camping trips this year due to the the pandemic (COVID-19).

  • Our first trip was to Mount Rushmore were we got to relax and take in the sites for a well deserved long weekend.
  • The second trip was to attend our son’s wedding in northern Idaho in late June. We have made this trip multiple time with and with out a trailer. On this trip we decided we were going to take our time getting there and getting home. Because of the pandemic we did not site see anywhere but we just relaxed and enjoyed the surroundings.

With the leaves turning and the nights starting to dip into the below freezing numbers my wife and I decidedm to go ahead and winterize Escape Pod along with deactiviating wally (dish receiver). It was a very sad Sunday.
