I joined the Happy Camper discount camping club. The way these clubs work (and there are three or four of them out there) is that they have a contract with participating campgrounds to offer half price camping rates to members. There are often restrictions on the half price rates, though…not on weekends, only the first [...]
For some reason, I decided I would pull in the slides today just so I could see what it looked like with the slides in. I moved everything out of the way that needed moving, and I grabbed ahold of the dog and kept my eye on the cat and pushed the button. In came [...]
I’d put in a call to Nick at Chesaco RV and had asked him if we could come up today and get a hitching/unhitching demo. He said it was fine if we could come right away, so we headed up to Chesaco where we met with him and another worker named J.R. They showed us [...]
Got up bright and early this morning and I followed Lex to Brooks Ramsey RV where she left her truck to have the fifth wheel hitch and the brake controller installed. Payday, baby, and I can finally afford the hitch! Can’t tell you how excited I am about all this. Without the hitch, the RV [...]
I was having problems getting the sump cover off my interior filter. Ultimately, I gave up and just removed the entire assembly and took it into a nearby RV dealership. The guy at Eagle RV took it into his shop, used a table vice, and loosened it up! Finally. I’ve been fighting with that thing [...]
I read the new edition of Trailer Life magazine last night (the Good Sam club’s member publication), and I was reminded that the fall is RV show time. Lex says she doesn’t want to go to RV shows because she’ll just lust over all the new trailers that she can’t have. I say that it’d [...]
Lex is off at the “office” today, and I’m here at the house. I’m piddling around and have emptied the holding tanks, I did the huge stack of dishes and put them away, stored some things in the basement hold, and tried once again to get that damned interior water filter disconnected. It’s just not [...]
Lex and I both slept like stones and woke up aching. Lex has managed to do something to her foot, so it’s been killing her. She’s Limpy McLimpersen, so I’ve been fetching and carrying for her where possible. Lex and I struck out yesterday to find desks. I let her sit in the truck most [...]
I got up fairly early, took a shower, flushed the holding tanks so we’d go into the party with them empty, took out the trash, and started working on the food. I made pasta salad, bean salad, and skewers of chicken and veggies while Lex grilled the burgers and dogs. After Lex got her shower, [...]
…that never was. I started this post July 10th. It is now July 21st, just an hour or two from July 22nd.
I’ve meant to and meant to, but getting this post and subsequent posts posted just hasn’t happened.
I’m increasingly frustrated with Comcast. Everyone had a different answer [...]
