Our first trip in the new Winnebago Micro Minnie, and our first time as official RV'ers, was to Paris Mountain State Park near Greenville, SC. Figured we'd stick to somewhere close to home, not exactly knowing what we were getting into. Dubbed "Helga", it is towed by "Thor", our blue Ford Ranger.
Paris Mtn has a nice campground. Not too big, about 40 sites, a mixture of tent and RV sites, with electric and water hookups. It was a cool couple days, with highs barely scraping 50 and overnight low in the upper 20's. A good test of Helga's heater.
We made use of the microwave, watched a few Outlander episodes on the TV, and made a fire to cook foil pack dinners. There are some really nice hiking trails in the park, and we spent most of one day hiking around and exploring. Found a nice little waterfalls, and a big dam/spillway that once serviced a mill.
Our camper has a Murphy bed. One thing we discovered is that since the bed folds up against an outside wall, it functions as insulation when flipped up. Even though the camper is nice and toasty, the bed can be pretty darned chilly if you expect to just pull it down and dive in.
We came away with a list of about 30 things to get, improve on, or fix for our next trip, and were pleased that we didn't blow anything up, burn anything down, or break something important. Not too bad for the first time out.
