RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more.... Wednesday, October 29, 2003: We tried, but we didn't pull it off. In the world of RVs, sometimes things don't always go according to schedule! We took the bigass truck, with the bigass camper on it and the not-quite-so-big truck and went off to switch the camper onto the old truck and store them. But, the camper would NOT come off the big truck! And then a corner jack broke clear off. Then we checked with all 3 RV dealers trying to find one where they could pick the camper off one truck and drop it onto the other one. Nobody had equipment to deal with the dually. :( By then it was mid-afternoon! We were beginning to think we were gonna have to park the big truck and camper and go trade the old truck on a bigger one to haul the 5th wheel (I'm sure we must have had enough room on the credit cards to cover a new truck....)! Finally, Keith went off and bought a bag full of hardware and re-installed the corner jack. Eventually, we managed to get the camper off one and onto the other and got home around 6PM. We started at 8AM.... *sigh* Tomorrow, we're gonna batten down the hatches and get ready for the Big Blast from Canada! Maybe next week we'll pack up and go to IL..... Stay tuned for the next installment.... Dinah // Wednesday, October 29, 2003 ______________________ Comments: Post a Comment
