Step One – Buy an RV

Well, we finally did it! After a year plus of talking about it, we bought an RV! My husband Deas and I had known we wanted to do this for awhile, and decided 2013 would be the year we bought an RV and did a trip across the country. The process of researching and learning … Continue reading Step One – Buy an RV

I got my very own custom bobble head! Thanks to @xscapers - this was my prize for winning the Xscapers March Madness Bracket. I love it!

Lots of fun in Asheville this week with @getsomeadventures !

When we first started RVing, somebody told us we would make all our mistakes in the first few months.....and then we’d make mistakes again once we’d been RVing for several years and gotten comfortable. Yesterday I (Jen) proved that to be true. Upon our departure from Hilton Head, I hooked up the car like I always do. When I was finished, a tiny little voice in my head kept nagging at me that I hadn’t done something right. So I walked back over to the car and checked out all the cables and everything looked great. I chalked it up to paranoia and tried to forget about it. While we were driving I occasionally checked on the car with the rearview camera and it was towing along just fine. When we got to our destination, I walked back to the car to unhook it. I immediately noticed that the engine was still running! I ran to the car and then to my horror, realized that the doors had locked! When I hooked up the car and ran the engine through all the gears that morning, the next step is to put it in neutral and let it sit there for 3 minutes. I did that – I set the timer on my phone for 3 minutes like I always do. But then I apparently just got out of the car and left the engine running. I was so horrified and embarrassed to tell Deas what I had done! We have a spare key but couldn’t find it. So our only option was to call a locksmith. And of course all this happened at the Freightliner service center in Gaffney SC, so I had an audience of several other RVers. Luckily the very nice guy that showed up to help us got there very quickly, and was able to help us open the car in about 5 minutes. Lesson learned: I should have listened to that little nagging voice in my head!
