Testing My Travel Trailer Electronics

My 3 night Possum Kingdom State Park trip was a success.  I had the opportunity to test my RV electronic systems a 100 miles from my home. All the while hooked up to water and 30 amp shore power. 
I tested my WFCO converter charger, microwave oven, electric water heater, all lights, space heater/fireplace, TV, Go Power charge controller, iRV Technologies radio/CD/DVD player and GE fridge. Thankfully, they are all working fine. During my last camping trip, I had some serious malfunctions. They have been corrected.
I have no plans to come back to this state park. In my opinion, PK reservoir isn't very beautiful (Texas Park Service begs to differ). Nature is not resplendent here. Half of the lakeshore is commercially developed with plenty of homes. There is only one short modest trail. The park is family friendly. There is even a playground, restaurant and store. If you are a boater or angler. You came to the right place. 
Sure was quiet camping without my wife. My wife Annie is fun to hang out with. No plans to go camping solo anytime soon. At PK there was no TV reception. Thankfully there was internet service. I could check for the latest news, post to social media and even stream several movies. 
While camping, I did take quite a few photographs and shot some video. I look forward to hitting the road again. My home on wheels allows me to travel on a budget. I can readily take quite a bit of camera equipment along with me. I have the freedom to capture landscapes, wild life (I need a bigger telephoto lens), infrastructure, people and more while RVing. I'm excited to enter this new phase of artistic life.
