Overall, though, the maiden voyage of our RV was a resounding success. Rick spent the last couple of weeks working on the plumbing. There were some leaks and split hoses. Got those all fixed and we had running water. And we had…..AN INDOOR TOILET!!
When we gave our pop up to my son, I took all the neatly packed stuff we had collected over the years for primitive camping, and stuck it in the storage in the undercarriage. Over the weekend, I ended up pulling a good bunch of it out and putting it in it’s forever home in the RV.
Our German Shepherd, Dakota, is kind of old and kind of has bad hips, but she finally learned to slowly walk up the stairs instead of lurching and trying to jump, and that was good.
We had some friends out last night, and Rick made the best damn hamburgers over the campfire.. Best burgers I’ve ever eaten. We also had jalapeno poppers.
We also took our flat screen TV, hooked Rick’s tablet up to it and watched Netflix movies. It was really kind of cheating, but it was nice.
The only thing I didn’t like is the fact that we had the generator running 24/7, cause we don’t have power out there. It detracted from the wildlife and the birds and stuff. Our next project is to get power so animals will be more likely to approach.
We worked our asses off, and I’m sunburned and tired and ready for a shower and a drink!
