Breaking Camp and Preparing for Town Drive

rswfire wakes at 7 AM on day 50+ of RV living and prepares to break camp. He describes the challenge of packing up, securing the slide, managing his cat, and preparing to drive the RV into town without towing his Jeep - a new experience for him. **Organization and readiness are critical** - he explains it took about two months to get everything in its proper place where items feel functional and comfortable.
