After 19,324 miles over a travel period of 8 months and 1 day we are back in Frostproof Fl. It was a great trip we left home on March 5 2021 went west to California then north to Washington then east to Northern New York then south to Florida. We went to 17 National Parks over 7 state parks and numerous National Forests. We arrived home on Nov. 6 2021. At 9 mpg that is about 2000 gals of gas. We had a great time and enjoyed all the parks we visited. We stayed from 5 to 10 days in each National Park. So far on 3 trips totaling 21 months we have traveled 45,117 miles in our 8.5 ft. X 18 ft cargo trailer conversion. We have had 2 flats in that entire 45,117 miles. Both of the tires went flat over night on the tailer and we replaced 2 tires on the truck. We grease the bearings and make sure the tires are in great shape before each trip. We are still using the same 4 Trojan 105 six volt batteries that we bought in 2015 for our boat. We did the American great loop on our boat twice which is 9 months long and 6,200 miles with the same batteries. So the batteries have been in use for 39 months over 5 years of travel. They are still working just fine. The Engle 30 quart fridge has been in use on both the boat and the cargo trailer trips for the same 39 months. It is a power miser. The automatic adjusting trailer brakes worked great on this trip so thinking of putting them on the boat trailer. We have also used the Natures Head composting toilet for all our boat and trailer travels and it is still working great. Next year our plan is to go boating on the Erie Canal, the Trent Severn Canal in Canada, Georgian Bay, the North Channel and then the Rideau Canal, Ottawa, Montreal, the 1000 islands on the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain. Had a real nice time at Chinooks house for a few days. Hope to see a lot of you over the summer in 2022.
