Living on the Road

with Jim and Gayle

May, 2013


The focus this month was on our new-to-us motorhome, a 2003 40 foot double slide Foretravel.

The new coach has a lot less storage (inside and underneath in the bays) than the old coach (even though it is bigger).   Most  things have found a place, have been thrown out, or we know what we will have to build to house them.  The coats, however, are problematic as we haven't yet figured out what we can do with them.

We spent three days at one of the service centers in Nacogdoches having a list of items fixed.  The major item was repairing the bladder on the living room slide.  It took the shop two tries to get it fixed ($$$).

Jim, busy installing a new tank level system, saving us $1000 in installation costs!

On our way to Nacogdoches, we spent a night in a WalMart parking lot.  One of Kenney Chesney's (big-time country singer) buses joined us for a while.  We thought it was strange that they would spend the night dry camping at a WalMart but it must have just been a rendevous spot because after cars arrived and people got off, the bus left.
