Preparing

David and I have been in this RV park for the past four years.  Now we are in a position to travel again and can't wait to hit the road.  In the beginning we are not planning on straying too far away.  We have reservations up until mid July and at this point we don't want to make plans any further out.  We are spending our remaining weeks of May trying to prepare everything for full time traveling.  Two new batteries were installed this week and today for the first time since we moved the fifth wheel into this spot we pulled in the four slides.  YES!  They worked just fine.  We pulled up the carpet about a year or so ago and had wood flooring installed so today we were both holding our breath as we tested the slides.  I'm thinking that test should have been performed when the flooring was being installed but at this point it doesn't matter because they work fine.  I have completely organized everything inside the RV as well as the basement storage area.  Everything is in clear plastic boxes with snap lock lids and properly labeled.  I have to have things organized and I am just hoping David will do his best to help keep it that way.  We had a big sale a couple of weeks ago and got rid of all the stuff that has been accumulating over the past four years.  Sold our car, washer and dryer, big refrigerator/freezer and now the last big item remaining is the 10x16 storage barn we had built on the adjacent site. Once that is sold we can breathe a big sigh of relief.  Now we are updating the RV to get it all ready for our adventures.... new TV satellite and washer/dryer are to be installed soon as well as new tires for the RV.  We will be leaving this park near the end of May and heading to a state park in Georgia.  In our remaining days here we hope to take in a couple of factory tours that we have been meaning to take but have not had time until now.  If we fit them in I will be sure to blog about them.
