First Sleep Test Completed

This weekend saw the first overnight sleep test concluding with the first morning coffee in The Bug. Everything went well. I tested the shower, water heater supply, hammock and stove. New pics are in the gallery.

I also moved the sewer hose holder to a more safe location. I was concerned about it getting knocked off because it hung so low. The new arrangement has it hinged on one end, and a gate latch and aircraft cable at the other end. It is very secure, and is now tucked up under the trailer instead of dangling dangerously on the tail end.

I also purchased a Mr. Heater Buddy propane heater. That rounds out the environmental control gear.

Things I know are remaining:
- Install new gas line for Buddy heater.
- Grommet the first gas line where it enters the trailer.
- Install the two smoke detectors and CO detector.
