Day 2

OK, the end of day two has arrived and here's what we have learned:
  • Pack 1/2 of what you think you'll need. My DW and myself staged 4-5 pair of sweat pants, sweaters, 10 pair of shorts, lot's of pots & pans, etc. TOO MUCH STUFF! We will be throwing away clothes as they get stained or if we don't wear them for a year.
  • When you buy a RV, there's going to be problems. We have water coming from the AC vents in the ceiling in more than one place. Something to be said about what the "experienced" RV'ers say, " Buy used because all the bugs have been taken care of."
  • Plan on spending $1000 on "stuff" for our new RV. Vent covers to insulate against the heat, mats for the outside, hoses, etc.
  • Look for leaks in the plumbing system! We have ( or had one) under our sink.

Don't pack a RV when it's 92 degrees outside.... it'll flat wear you out. I'm tired as all get out and need to go to bed! Sleep tight!

Day 1

Boy, are we tired! Closing on our home, running to the RV dealer and closing on the RV, unloading the car, throwing everything into the RV, go back to kathy's Mom's house, load the car with more "stuff," pick up our dog, Elvis ( a Cocker Spaniel), drive another 40 miles back to the RV, unload THAT stuff from the car, start putting stuff away....


Has a few drinks with the DW, high fived each other for pulling this whole thing off in 35 days from start to finish, crawled in bed at 11pm and crashed.

Woke up this morning only to discover I didn't have bottled water to make coffee ( you're not supposed to drink water from the fresh water tank) so off to the gas station I go at 6am to get some coffee and a gallon of drinking water.

All is good! Now, if I could just get my lovely bride out of bed.... (hehehehe)
