We have found some great spots, but question the ability of our Airstream to make it down, or worse, not be able to get back out.Īlso, always check the weather beforehand and make sure the campsite you are staying at is not going to be a swamp after a long night of rain and your trailer sinks in the ground making it hard to pull out. Not a great way to spend your precious time away. The last thing you want to do is get stuck somewhere. What’s the saying, ”an ounce of prevention beats a mile of backing up your trailer from a road with no turn around” or something like that. If you don’t have bikes, take a nice walk.
