Please learn from my ignorance...

I have learned SO much today!  I learned where my antenna boost it...in my bedroom, in the same wall plate as the cable hook up...if it's red and you want to use cable, turn it off.  Thank you, Terri & Doyle for your help on Facebook today.  I also just learned that you need to turn your water pump OFF when you're hooked up to water...investigate those 'funny noises!' I found my answers on the internet, because I knew I couldn't be the first person with this questions. I also properly filled my hot water tank!!  I'm so thankful to the Guardian Angel that has been on our shoulders so far.

Pirate is finished with the condo...Praise God!!!  He now can relax and officially enjoy retirement.  He still has that trip to Idaho for Tracie, and that's going to be a looong drive.  Good thing Daddy loves you so much, Kiddo!  He's exhausted!!  Just feed him well and treat him kindly when he's there...he will be sent off with provisions and goodies for the trip, please return him with the same love and care..I know you would anyway, but you may have to keep him in line, lol!  He tends to  be the life of the party...you've been warned!

I think the best piece of advice I could give someone when it gets down to the last minute rush:  HIRE OUT everything you can afford to.  We're wishing we had done that, because the time just slips by.  Also, you're never going to remember everything they tell you during your walk-thru.  Especially if you've never owned or been RVing before like us.  If I could do it over, I'd spend time at dealerships asking 'how-to' questions, picking brains about how systems work.  If you're like me, you can read about it all you want, but it's not until I can touch it with my paws that I really catch on.  Learning is by experience, and I'm most appreciative that we haven't had to learn anything major the hard way.  Praise God, again!!

Soon, it will be wind in the face time...for forever!!!!  I hear the Harley calling to me, and echoes wind through my soul.  Hmmm...I wonder if Willie would look good in leather?

  2. This was our first RV too. Didn't even know enough to ask intelligent questions. It will be a different inspection the next time we buy one. Luckily we got a good rig in spite of our ignorance.
