kshandra and I ventured down to the RV storage place to begin the process of stripping what we want from the Free Trailer Beowulf prior to us getting rid of it pending the new trailer's arrival.
We of course forgot the tools we needed to get the deep-cycle marine battery out. We also found that our latest attempt to tarp over the trailer was as futile as the others. But we did get the verdammt door open after a healthy dose of WD-40 was squirted into the works. Inside was a pile of stuff, but not the socket set we were hoping for nor were our two crowbars were in sight. This is confusing.
But we did get a couple of sleeping bags and pillows, the hitch dolly we use to maneuver the trailer when we don't trust our ability to back up, the trickle charger for the battery, and the three collapsable containers we use on-Playa for trash, recycling, and laundry.
As the inside seems to be quite dry, we just pulled down the tarp and stuffed it in the trailer. The rachet straps came home with us. Tomorrow we go back over for the battery, which is going to be a heavy bitch to move.
One other thing of note. When we were just shy of reaching Pedron's Storage, I got the low tire pressure warning. We stopped into a gas station after doing our work and found that all four tires were just a little low. It was like $1.75 for the air, but we got all four back up to the recommended pressure. You never want to drive with under-inflated tires!
So now we're chilling clearing out the Playa corner in Offhand Manor and unloading the truck.
We will start posting pictures and an asking sale price sometime tomorrow.
