Eric and I are learning lots about living in a trailer, especially in AZ
1) If it's an old trailer, getting into the shower that has cracks in the bottom may cause flooding in the next room on the floor. Secretly, this is a blessing because then you HAVE to take showers at the house which has hot water to last the shaving legs process.
2) The "black water tank" is what holds the poo....if a foul smell begins to emerge, don't panic! This is rather normal in most trailers. Just watch 2 hours of youtube videos to learn how to empty your black water tank. When you have done all the right things to empty the tank and then you don't see anything coming out of the already nasty, brownish pipe....panic!
3) Although this is AZ and there are scorpions that roam around at night, not everything that tickles your leg calls for panic. But this does call for obsessive checking of your shoes before you put them on, your clothes, and your sheets before you get into bed. You should also consider wearing your hair in a pony tail because this can also cause lots of distress when your hair tickles your neck and lots of laughter from your husband.
4) Again, if you are living in an older trailer, and you happen to have broken windows boarded up with plywood right above your bed, you may want to just sleep on the opposite side of the bed.
5) No matter how much you spray that "fresh berry" glade spray that is "rich with luscious berries and pomegranate" that is suppose to "bring a sophisticated sweetness to your favorite room" or trailer, the musty smell of wet carpet and dogs will not go away. But it will hide it for 30 mins.
6) And last but not least, remember this is actually rather fun and that maybe yo ho the trailer's life might be just for me ;)
