Waking Up to Water Dripping on the Bed

March 28, 2023 Last night, we had very strong thunderstorms with heavy rainfall with wind and thunder. At 4:00 am this morning, we woke to the sound of running water in the RV. Bruce jumped up and turned on the bedroom lights. When he opened the bedroom door, he discovered Nox lying up against the […]

Washing the RV

March 3, 2023 On Wednesday (March 1), we decided the weather was perfect for washing the RV. It was overcast with no wind. Bruce went to the office to pay the $10 fee to wash the RV. They told him they would add it to next month’s bill. We brought out our Aero Cosmetics Kit […]

Convection Microwave Oven Fixed, Fingers Crossed!

October 7, 2022 On Wednesday (October 5th), the repairman came back out to repair our convection microwave oven. He brought a replacement control board, thermostat, and wiring. It didn’t take the repairman to fix the problem. Bruce and the repairman ran the convection oven for 5 minutes. After the repairman left, Bruce ran it for […]

Problem with a Kitchen Slide

September 3, 2022 When we arrived at Cave Country RV Park, we had a problem with the kitchen slide that holds the sink. This slide is against the island stove. With this slide in, we can’t use the stove, oven and sink. The slide would start to extend, then the side towards the front of […]

Rig Weight

August 23, 2022 One of my blog friends asked about the weight of the rig. I thought instead of replying in a comment, I would do a post. Dave and Tina Rayburn, Weighing Specialist proved a report after weighing the rig. On the tow vehicle, Cliff the Big Red Truck, here is the axel measurement […]

Getting the Total Rig Weighed

August 21, 2022 On Friday, we had the truck weighed. On Saturday, on our way out, we had the total rig (truck and RV) weighed. First, we had to dump everything in our tanks. Since our campsite didn’t have a sewer hookup, we had to use the dump station. Once Bruce dumped the tanks, he […]

Getting the Truck Weighed

August 19, 2022 Bruce signed up to get the RV weighed while we are at the FROG Rally. The team that does the weighing wanted to weight the truck first. They wanted a full tank of diesel and everyone who would normally be in the truck for the weighing. We will pull the RV up […]

Decorations in My RV

July 16, 2022 While I was back in Colorado being a party animal (https://retirementrvdream.com/2022/06/05/party-animal/), one of my friends wanted to know what I had done with all of my art. Most of our art is in storage, but I brought some of it with us. There was a piece of art I did for Bruce […]

Sudden Wind Storm with Awnings Out

July 16, 2022 Our campsite faces east, so we get stunning views of Lake Chicot with the window shades up. It also means the morning sun in the windows, heating up the RV. To keep the RV cooler, I’ve been putting out the awning on sunny mornings to prevent the sun from directly shinning into […]

Third Travel Day

February 1, 2022 It is hard to believe that it is already the first of February. We had some adventures today and not in a good way. We knew there would be downsides and problems (non-fun adventures) to the retirement RV dream. In Texas, we left the RV park at 8:30 am and head east […]
