2018 RV Season is On the Road

LIVING IN A RECTANGLE 2018

RV Season is getting underway and that means what?

*First trip is RV Rally with Lone Star Kountry Klub staying at the Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma…3/8-3/11 2018

*unwinterize The Rectangle water system and remember to shut off the water to the washer hookup so water does not come shooting out (like last year, see we do learn)

*Start off with clean sheets, towels and new My Pillows.
in The Rectangle..

*Restock wine in The Rectangle…Put other alcohol on board.

*Take out of The Rectangle anything no longer needed from last year…like how many mugs can a person use?

*Reestablish where things will go in the cargo bins. Really just see what is in the cargo bins after all no-one has looked in them since December.

*Start list of who can feed Miss Kitty (and Daisy the outdoor cat across the street we feed since her owner passed) and establish calendar for this.

*Double check all the electronic charger cords are still where they should be in The Rectangle.

*Make sure all the remote apps are working to monitor house when we are on the road.

*Buy the latest road atlas…paper sometimes is the only “go to” when phone signal is a no bars area.

*Make sure phone plan is international for Canada still.

*Then the worst and most frustrating thing EVER…2018 Jeep Cherokee we just bought  that should be tow ready? Well it would take me more words then I currently have room for to tell this on going saga about the “harness” for the 2018s and the mess it puts us in. On the count down as we leave in July for months…Did I say most frustrating thing EVER!!!  (note: alternate plans are available but have not floated them out till we just have too.) URGGGG

*OK this did not just happen…well yes it did. Not towing the Jeep so pulled up behind The Rectangle since he had it in park and well one would think it was parked…but NO NO the reverse lights come on and OH NO…yep into the Jeep. Really? The Jeep now has a cracked in the bumper. (sad face) It is not terrible and hopefully it will be not a catastrophic fix. I of course think Jeep should pay for the fix, since after all if they were not having the problem with this harness thingy part so we could tow the Jeep this would not have happened (just my rant). The “Kit” has been on order for over 3 months, David is on a first name basis with a few folks at Jeep Corp.

Of course there is more fun and times to come this season of The Rectangle, after all we are going to Nova Scotia and the Canadian Maritime in July and August.
