Gettin' er done

If there are any of you out there thinking about getting into rv'ing let me show you what a flurry of activity goes on just getting ready to leave a park and move on to the next stop.  As an examble I'll use my friend Jim (street name Gasser) to show you the ropes. 

First thing is to make sure wheels are all secured to the coach.  Nothing worse than leaving a wheel behind.  You usually don't notice it until you have to turn a corner but Jim tells me it's a doosey when you do.

The next thing you do is look for loose change on the ground to help pay for the trip.

The normal cost of tires and batteries are nothing compared to the cost of eating out.

The next thing you have to do is add an additional cable to your portable satellite dish.

By doing this you can then drag it rather than stow it away when leaving. 

The next chore is to make sure your tow car has enough 'oomph to push your coach back home.  Adding a Banks Turbo is usually the answer. 

And the final touch is to have everyone in the area gather around and help you hook-up.  This is always a welcomed activity by the helpers as they get a chance to remind you if you made any mistakes.  Sorry they weren't around when the black tank got emptied.  (Also notice that hot looking diesel in the background)

So there you have it folks.  A complete run down on what it takes to get going on the rv road.

I'm still livin' the dream ... hope Jim and Carol are too.
