We Bought A Travel Trailer!

I am SO excited that we have finally bought a travel trailer (cottage on wheels) after YEARS of talking about it!  I LOVE camping, but was starting to wish there was a little more convenient way of going about it, especially now that I have a toddler to take care of as well as all of the duties of running the campsite.  I was really starting to resent having to carry ice back to camp to constantly refill the coolers, heat water on the Coleman stove to do dishes, etc., etc.  I was only thinking that we would be purchasing a tent trailer or possibly a hybrid type (small travel trailer with pop out beds like a tent trailer), just enough to have the convenience of a fridge and sink with hot water on tap.  When we got to the trailer dealership on Saturday though, Hubby seemed to develop a taste for the finer things in the camper lifestyle and we were quickly the proud new owners of a 28' Jayco White Hawk Bunkhouse.  Yep, that's right, from tent to 28' bunkhouse travel trailer complete with slide out, queen-size master bedroom, double-over-double bunk beds and 32" flat screen TV.  I am seriously in love with this trailer and can't wait to get it out on the road and to visit some of our beautiful provincial and national parks across the country.  I grew up very poor in the country and now I feel like I finally have the chance to get out and see some of the beautiful country I live in with my family staying comfortably in the trailer at campgrounds a long the way.  Now I just need to do a bit of research for tips on camping with toddlers, anyone have any words of wisdom for me?
