Moved Into The New RV

Taylor, Texas

Weather: low 39 degrees, high 40 degrees, cloudy, rain all day

After several attempts at moving into our new home, we finally got it done today. The weather could not have been worse for something like this. Note that the difference between the high and low today was only one degree. It was cold, wet, and rained all day.

As I was outside getting everything ready to take the old RV to the dealership, it was raining and windy. My hands felt like they would fall off, they were so cold. We were scheduled to be at the dealership at 1300 hours for a walk through on the new home so the different systems, switches, and other things could be explained. We got there a few minutes early. Luckily, they were able to make room in the building for the old RV to be pulled inside next to the new one so we could move all our stuff without getting wet.

We received a thorough walk through on the new RV, and all our questions were answered. When we bought our first RV,the walk through took about 10 minutes. Today, we spent about 90 minutes on the walk through and getting our questions answered. I was very pleased with the attention the dealership gave to our questions and in explaining how to use our systems on the new RV. It was noticed by the person doing the walk through with us that the propane regulator was faulty. A serviceman changed it out with a new one before we left the facility.

Once the walk through was completed, we started the move of our stuff into the new home. We had everything moved in about an hour, but did not put anything where it will eventually be placed. The primary concern was to get everything moved, drive to the Taylor Park Army Corps of Engineers campground, located on Lake Granger, before dark so we could set up in the daylight. We accomplished our goal, but it was a job getting everything done.

At this time, the new home looks like we are trying to stuff 10 pounds of "stuff" into a 5 pound bag. We found things that we no longer need, so we'll be finding new homes for it. We have plenty of room in the new home, but have to decide how to use it to our best advantage. We will be here at this campground for at least a week, so everything will be squared away by the time we leave.

That's about all that happened with us today. It may not sound like much, but it was a full day of work. At this time, we are happy with the new home. It's more comfortable, and we can tell that the insulation is much better than in the old RV.

More later, be safe.
