She towed great, and even up the grapevine in ca!!
...but I lost the roof vent cover. I AM SO BUMMED!!!
But we got the back temporarily buttoned up, a new mattress, and it was a pretty comfy first trip!!
Unfortunately my husband got the flu and slept the whole way home.. Which meant my first time towing the trailer (well, any trailer quite that big, I'm used to boats and flat beds) through the grapevine 15% grade average I think!, and through LA..
She towed wonderfully though!
..now where do I get a vent cover?

congrats on a great trip, I lost my vent cover a well the 1st time out. your best bet for a cover will be on here or ebay, I'd make sure nothing up top broke and you can just put it back on.

Yeah I'm bummed. And it's one of the only time it's raining/sprinkling in so cal. Of course!!
On the bright side I'm totally confident towing her now! After a one lane down the mountain..I can handle anything!

We lost our vent cover and noticed it when we reached the campgrounds. Was supposed to rain that night, so we used our dish drainer tray and a little duct tape from the Ranger and no rain on our heads!! Stayed on through the entire drive home too!!

I stuck an umbrella through the roof and weighted it down.. And my temporary fix is a plastic drawer..

Make sure you know the "hinge" type on your vent lid. Replacements are available but the connections are not the same. One is a extruded aluminum C, the next has plastic hinges and the last is a crimped metal hinge.
