Cobscook State Park in northeastern Maine offers some of the loveliest sites of any campground we've visited over the years, and we were lucky to have three nights in total privacy right on the water where we spent many happy hours watching the tides and the birds, recuperating after hiking. We eat simply, and made a discovery that perhaps is common knowledge. We suggest that you never, ever rinse and drain a can of black beans in your CI's sink. After three warmish days of that broth simmering in the holding tank, the stench from the tank's vent was overpowering. I flushed the tank thoroughly when we got home and left it full overnight with a bit of Clorox. Hope that will do the trick.
Recently I have read some threads about building the trailer without the sink. Lane and I can't imagine opting out of those luxuries. Running water has made dealing with food preparation so much easier, and clean-up is a snap, even pleasant.
We love our new camper but, as this mistake shows, we have few things to learn. If you plan to camp in Maine, Cobscook is a great place to try. Reservations are a necessity. We will be using the Firefly again next week. This is the first fun summer we have had in years. Just getting away for a few days and having no obligations for that brief time is truly good for the soul.
