RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more....

Oh, tis a dangerous thing--an rv lot. At least for those of us who are afflicted with "itchy feet"! But we didn't go to just ANY RV lot on Monday--we went to the biggest, baddest one in the whole USof A! LOL! The end result of a day on the lot can be viewed by clicking Our New Home. We've traded off our little 27' foot box and the big 35.5 triple glide for a 36' QUAD glide! Quad, as in 4 buttons to push, each causing a different section to glide out from the main trailer giving us scads of room and lots of 'goodies'! This is a "Home"! It just happens to have wheels under it! Space for all our goodies AND our little "dog family"!
Of course, before we can move into our new home, we have to 'dead head' to IL, hook onto the rig that has been sitting there closed up all winter, drag it to the dealership, then come fetch our cozy little unit and take IT to the dealership, and sign on the dotted line. Can't leave here until the 4th, when Keith sees the VA doctor and then we're off and running! Mind you--Keith is NOT all mended and back to being able to do anything he wants to, so travelling will take longer and we'll have to have "help" with things we normally would just do ourselves. The big RV in IL is not ready for the road--we just took out what we needed and closed the place up and left last November!!! I could almost hear our son shaking his head in amazement over the phone line when I told him to clear his calendar for Mother's Day weekend! He's pretty sure we've lost our minds! Maybe so, be pretty soon we'll be 2 crazy people living in a really nice RV!!! LOL!!! And it's so much more efficient to only own one, right???
The only fly in the ointment is that trip up North to fetch the big trailer--in the truck with 2 of our 3 dogs. Since we don't know what kind of time we'll be able to make on the road, we can't very well make motel reservations ahead of time...and naturally, we're unaccustomed to having to find a bed to sleep in on the road! We've been spoiled by always being able to sleep in our own bed at nite and not having to worry about packing a bag and finding a room!
And so, the Saga continues...... See ya later!
