1st Campground Back In Attempt

Terri and I decided to take the Memorial Day weekend and spend it in the RV in the Texas hill country.  We got the last 50 amp site at the Oakwood RV Resort, and it was in "the forest" and required backing in.  Terri drove the RV through Austin traffic on Friday (her first time) and nobody got hurt!

Our initial attempts (3 or so) to back into the spot (#21) ended in failure due trying to avoid a car parked in the adjacent site.   It required the truck to be too close to a barb wire fence preventing the truck from straightening out the RV.   Reversing the direction (by driving around the park roads) resulted in a much cleaner approach.

The site actually required a very precise placement of the RV.  Trees on one side had to clear the big living room slide.  On the back side, the electic/water post had to be positioned between the other living room slide and the kitchen slide.  Very nice shady spot.
