We left the
Florida Fairgrounds this morning and headed to the LazyDays RV Center just east
of Tampa. There we were going to meet up
with a representative of WadeRV to get a new entryway rug made. The one area of our coach that I haven’t
liked is the entry area.
Today, I
think we made a nice upgrade to it. The
main rug is custom fitted to our dash/chair area and the steps are covered in
the same material from the outside in. I
didn’t really get a good “after” picture of the steps, will get that later.
This project
took all day and we were glad to be done and on our way to the East Tampa RV
Resort where we would have full hookups – something we have done without for
quite a while. All the time we were
sitting at the RV service center waiting to get the fridge fixed we had an
electric hook up but that was it. The
last three days we have been boondocking (no hook ups). So, water conservation has been the key for
quite a while.
I have to
admit that I am not a “camper”; I’m a “traveler”. I can deal with less than perfect conditions
for a while, but let’s face it, I’m spoiled.
I like to sit outside and look at the stars, but I don’t want to sleep
under them. When the mosquitos start to
come out I want to go inside where it is air conditioned and sleep in our king
sized Sleep Number bed.
I also want
lots of hot water and somewhere for that water to go. I want a fridge that works (finally
happening). In other words I want to
take all of the comforts of home with me wherever we go. Tomorrow I’ll be doing laundry most all
day. Laundry and water conservation don’t
go hand in hand, so I’m backed up at least a week and a half on laundry.
Don’t get me
wrong, I wouldn’t trade this experience we are having, but lately there have
been a few bumps in the road. I saw a
plaque in Cracker Barrel this morning that said, “The thing I like best about
my home is who I share it with”. How
true.
Dianne also insists on perfection :-). I often chide her (lovingly) with the phrase, "Aw, are things not perfect?"
