We played around with the Compass Rose logo in a proof or two, but as it turned out the graphic wasn't going to suit the 'canvas' it was going on. So I went down to Chris's shop on a Saturday evening and we played around with Illustrator for an hour and came up with a better design - one that would compliment the profile of the trailer and provide some visual balance.
This past next weekend I brought the trailer in and by Sunday he had it all done ...
Given the new design I've decided to change the name to SunBreak - which is when the clouds open up and the sun's rays shine down. Yeah, a bit 'campy' (no pun intended) - just need some Care Bears dancing around a firepit holding hands, right? At any rate, 'Compass Rose' just no longer fits as well as I hoped, so I had to come up with something else. I think he did a bang up job and I'm sure it will turn a head or two in the campground.
Now, on to the next to-do. There is ample storage space under the main bed, but with the smooth hardwood floors I have found that anything stowed under there manages to slide out from under while traveling. I'm going to make a couple cargo nets (one for the front and one for the back) that will keep all my stuff secured under the bed. They will be installed vertically between the floor and the bottom edges of the bed. I looked around for a 6 foot by 1 foot net, but none were to be found (no surprise given the odd dimensions). So I am going to fabricate some myself, using some paracord and mini caribiners.
Our next camping trip is going to be to Disney's Fort Wilderness at the end of Februrary. I've been told this place has been known to spoil campers, but I'm willing to take the risk! I'm sure we'll have a good time down there.
