We tried out the Flagstaff 30' trailer for Thanksgiving

Dad had to drag us out to Santee Lakes in the only trailer that did not get rented for Thanksgiving weekend, but we had fun once we got there. We took the 30 foot Flagstaff trailer with a "super slide." This trailer sleeps 5 or 6 (or more if you bring air mattresses). It has a large bathroom separating the bedroom from the living room, with a large shower with a garden tub. There is a big flat screen TV and stereo with surround sound in the living room. It rained most of our time here, so we watched several movies. The first night, it was dry, so we had a campfire with another family from Poway, whose kids are friends with ours. Nick had a great time riding his scooter around the park, feeding ducks and pretending to fish. Mom went into work for a few hours Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and was glad to get some organizing done that she can't do with customers and other employees around.

We noticed a few unusual deficiencies in the Flagstaff trailer during our stay, such as the lack of electrical outlets near the dinette or the bed - places we usually plug in the laptop and our cell phones. Also, the bathroom doors are short, with 3 inches of space at the tops and bottoms. We were also glad we used this trailer before any renters, so we can fix the too-loud water pump and converter fan before we give it to anyone else.
