Mildred's Debut

We arrived in Zion National Park after travelling through rain, snow and ice in Montana and Idaho. Last night was the night we've been waiting for all winter - our first night to try out Mildred!

Needless to say, we got quite a few curious looks as we rolled into the camp ground and we had several visitors throughout the course of the evening who wanted to chat to Andrew about "his rig".

Overall, Mildred's first night was smooth sailing - one minor issue: As we were eating dinner, one of Mildred's propane lines blew - this emitted a sound similar to what you might hear coming out of a small cannon and directed a whole lot of attention our way. Andrew and I continued eating our steaks calmly and then once the attention had died down, Andrew casually went to make sure we didn't need to evacuated the camp ground. Luckily, it's an easy fix!

  1. Turned out the auxiliary propane lines for the BBQ and cook top are only rated to 1/2 psi- oops....

  2. Glad it was an easy fix, that's why this is also a little bit of a shakedown cruise too.
