Three nights in and three days travel down.

January 22, 2016  •  1 Comment

Launched into full timing and into my cross country relocation for work on the 19th the other day. The trailer hauls nicely.

The first night I stayed in a Petro in Little Rock, Arkansas and was very safe, (noisy but safe.) It was at very busy section with a Flying J and a Loves so there were lots of trucks. Gotta say I am seriously impressed with over the road truck drivers!

The second night I paid to stay in an RV park just off the highway in Mclean, Texas but, still hadn't worked out my furnace or shore line so planned to do it overnight style. It seemed nice enough, until it rained. Since the grounds were grassy ground and I didn't want to be stuck in the morning I moved up to the gas station that owned it. More trucks, lots of wind, and cold. Still, okay.

Third night I decided to stay in a Good Sam RV Park, (Lavaland in Grants, NM.) How awesome, nice warm, large bathroom and showers, friendly and helpful staff. The attendant helped me work out my shoreline and furnace. Nice and toasty in here in spite of the -9 overnight temps. When I went to the nearby Walmart to get propane I thanked my stars that I went the half mile to Lava land RV park because it was worth it to me.

Things I've learned:
My cat is very cool, he travels like a boss, knows when to jump in and warm up the sleeping bag, isn't scared of any trucks, (or even when I left him in the trailer after bedding down for the night, and drove it across a bumpy field to get to the parking lot!) Yes, Marco is a boss!

Although on the 18th I got so ill I would've went to the ER if I had the energy but, I'm very happy that the flu, (or e-coli) or whatever I got sidelined with since the 18th has finally lifted. It took a lot out of me but, regaining some strength too.

Oh, I forgot to add that I am also very happy to have a stove again! I hand't had one in over 8 months because of living in single rooms and motels. Very cool.

Thats how to do it!. Glad you found help in getting your shore power and furnace up and running. It is much harder to understand directions simply by reading words on a forum. To have someone there to show you is better. I hope you continue to feel well and keep us updated on your adventures.
