First Trip

Took our first trip yesterday, 7/22/10, to Joplin for repair work. There seems to be very little quality control at the factory or dealership. Have to go back today to see why the TV will not pick up a cable signal. Antenna works fine. Hopefully, it is something simple. Then home. Very hot and humid. Spent the night at KOA.

More Coach Pictures

Finally, got the new coach loaded after two days of "moving." It's amazing how much stuff you can load into a motorhome. Going to take it to a local lake park this Sunday for 2 nights to check everything out.

New Motorhome

Took the plunge today and bought a new Winnebago 34' Sightseer coach. Three slides and VERY roomy. Pick it up next Tuesday. Will definitely be on the road the rest of the year and probably in Florida or south Texas this winter.

Seashell Windchime

Sea shell wind chime I made with shells gathered on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The shells were very pretty and will make some good jewelry as well. Maybe Santa Claus will have something like this at Christmas. Coach is ready to go except for generator. Getting it fixed next week.

Maintenance Work

Finishing up the maintenance work after our trip. Oil and fuel filter changed, blind repaired, coach washed and put under it's shed. Need to have the generator looked at again since it's not running right. Still some sort of fuel problem. Looking at going south in Sept if the oil spill is somewhat cleaned up. BOO BP. Will take a few shorter trips between now and then. Hope all you RVers are having a good summer.

Home Sweet Home

Made it home safely. 2,956 miles traveled on this trip. Now it's time to clean up the coach, take care of things at home, sort through the mail, and make appointments. Isn't being retired and on the road great!! Yes, it is. Starting to look at places in south Texas where we may spend the winter. Anyone have any recommendations. It's funny how after about a month on the road I'm ready to come home and a week later I'm ready to go again. Oh well, that's life.

Last Day

Today is the last day of our month long trip. We will hit the road about 8am and should be home early afternoon. All in all, it has been a good trip. No major problems and we got to see some new areas of the country. Most of our campgrounds were nice. The only problem was wifi. Even though they have it, it was very slow in a number of cases. May look into an airtime card before our next long trip. The weather cooperated if you like hot and humid. Personally, I'd rather have that than cold and rain. Anyway, it's summer in the south. What do you expect! Last picture is of us in front of the old Statehouse Museum. For those of you following my blog, I hope you enjoyed it.
