Acquiring an RV

Since PC couldn’t come here, due to fog of all things, I am not spoiling the surprise now by telling you we bought a used 5th wheel! My husband is really more excited about it than I am, but that’s “boys and their toys.” Anyway, now we can meet you when you Snowbird. We bought the first one we looked at. It has a TV/VCR, bathroom with tub/shower, some kind of stereo system, refrigerator/freeze and convertible couch-bed with a Queen size bed as well. There is an auto-level, jacks, ten-gallon propane, outside shower for rinsing off and a nice shade cover that extends out. It is very clean and looks pretty comfy. We parked it next to the house where we have our RV hook-up. I want to test some of the stuff out before we take it some as-yet to be determined place. He is sure everything works. Our next major purchase will probably be a new truck to pull it. There is just room for us and the dog. He has grown very attached to this puppy.

It sounds like a very nice camping unit! By all means try everything out while it is still in the driveway, including the shower. My husband did the same thing to me, thinking everything was just fine. I found leaks at the faucets. He wouldn’t drive it either, for practice, before we were to leave on a long trip. So I drove it over to the supermarket parking lot and did some circles and between the lines parking and found out how that went. Made me feel more competent, more secure, especially when I notice how he is “losing it” in little ways. I wonder about his hearing, and when he is sick, the whole world has to come to a stop!
I love my motor home, my little house. It has everything I need right at hand, including the computer, sewing machine, sound system, yard furniture tucked away, my golf clubs, and next time I am taking my old cat along. I really enjoy camp hosting. Something to do, lots of people to talk with, beautiful sites in good campgrounds: what could be better? Of course, it gets terrible mileage, but as one RV fan explained to me, “That’s terrible for a car, but great for a house!” He was so right.
May you enjoy your vacation home every bit as much! I know you’re a few years away from retiring, but no sense waiting until then to get the hang of it!
