Gettin' to the nitty-gritty.....



Second Saturday (aka second day) of working on the camper. It is so stinkin' hot in Texas!! So when you just have a fan hooked up for circulating air, you just gotta know you're gonna do some serious, dripping, excessive sweating!! We worked for about 6 hours on the camper.....Jack checking out duct work, holding tank, water lines; me cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Pulling in a shop vac, arming myself with Lysol, Comet, Simple…

concluding my Texas trip

Hey Gang,

Just wanted to conclude my Texas trip with some additional thoughts and sum it up.



I was quite amused by the 6 day weather forecast. It read 95 - 94 - 96 - 98 HOT - 96 - 95.

Here we go!!

So ready to get going on the RV remodel! Just brought the "new" RV home 2 days ago.

New Hope

I just purchased an 82 Pace Arrow and was excited to finally have my first RV. I quickly became discoureged when I took it in to have an exhaust leak fixed and after 2 shops and $6000 I still have an exhaust leak. I figured I would get it fixed later and afterall I now have new brakes radiator batery tires belts hoses and fluids. I hooked up water to the city inlet only to find that the plumbing was broke so I replaced the water lines and started on the flooring. I wanted to tear the 30 year…
