Getting ready for summer expedition

[Russell E Johnson]

Yesterday I put on a new 360 vent cap on the shower vent today and hauled in all the bedding to be washed.  Today, when I am finished with the doctor and get new tires installed on our daughter's car, I will start cleaning the inside of the MH.  Wish it was daylight out there now, since I am awake at 3:45 AM I just as well be doing something constructive. LOL  Need to change the oil and get everything greased, check the batteries and connections.  We will be getting the new generator installed while we are in MT so that will be nice to have it back again so we get back to boondocking again.  Campgrounds are nice, but make traveling lots more expensive.

Have a safe summer of travels everyone.

Back at you Russell, It's funny but seems like the same bug is hitting a lot of us to get out and prep the Motor homes/campers. This will be my first full season with the palace, It's exciting just anticipating what the year will bring. The boys and I are doing weekender camps this week and next, that should tell me a lot about health issue's and learn more about my motorhomes quirks and such.
