Beautiful but Overwhelming

Aw @TerryV6.  You and many other's made a sacrifice to the battery gods!

@CJvagabond One good reminder posted on the forum (can’t remember who originated the suggestion) to protect the Alde and other components of your T@B is to be certain you turn everything off before you disconnect from shore power. Likewise, be certain everything is turned off before you connect to the power pedestal at a campsite. That’s common sense and appears on various checklists, but may be forgotten in the rush of excitement about hitting the road for camping adventures!

As far as the fridge and coolers go:  If my fridge has been on and "pre-cooled" a day before I set out, it works quite well as a cooler all by itself.  I stock it up with some cans or coke or whatever, and when I leave I will toss in some frozen bottles, etc.  It has easily kept things cooled down quite well, and I have no need for an extra cooler.

Thanks so much for all the help! Much appreciated!

@CJvagabond - Have you been able to venture out of your driveway yet?  Camping season is just starting in our neck of the woods... hope you have some great trips planned.

Here's a page you can print on backing the trailer:

Thank you @dundons. I'm adding this to my file. I practiced again this week camping at the beach and backing into the long drive at my parents. Little by little.  
@2Cougs I actually just got back from 5 days at the ocean. (2nd trip down so far) Plugged everything in though I didn't use shower/etc. Water was "warmish". I had to de-winterize and remove anti-freeze from hot water heater. I did that at home about a week or so before. Fridge works. Didn't need heater. 
Also adjusted the brakes as it had been over 300 miles. My brother jacked up the trailer a bit and I crawled under to do that. I'm not sure I did it right but it was easy to pull and I had no problems? 
Thank you!
