Made it to the RGV

Well, after 3 days on the road and some cold nights, we made it here and are soaking up the warm days. Left Iowa on Sunday morning and drove to Kansas City and spent the night at a Wal Mart. It was a nice one also, had a parking lot off to the side of the rest of parking and when Roger went in to check, they said that was were the RV's parked. We were only ones there till a small travel trailer pulled in right before bed. Boy was it COLD that next morning. It got down to 31 and we weren't running any heat.

The next day (Monday) we drove from Kansas City to Fort Worth and were going to stay in a campground, but when we got there, it was full. We pushed on down the road thinking we could find another campground, but didn't and ended up staying in back parking lot of a Cracker Barrel. Once again it was cold that night as well. We dove on all the way to Mission on Tuesday and when we got ready to park in our place, the tree needed trimed..........too low, so we stayed in site across from it. This morning we got up and went to office to see if they could trim the tree before we parked and get 50 AMP installed, the tree was a go, but they can't put the 50 AMP in. She gave us some site numbers to check out that had 50 Amp but we decided to go back to same site we had last year. We had picked the other site out as it had more afternoon shade, but I guess you can 't have everything.

Well there is one thing to say about buying an older RV, we are always fixing something. On way down here, found out there was a leak under bathroom sink. Every time we would turn pump on, it would leak. Called a guy to come fix it and right before he got here, the refer started making a clicking sound and the little lights on front were blinking (elec, gas). Had him look at it. He spent alot of time working on it and decided he will have to get a new circuit board, so will be back. Then this afternoon, I sat down at table with lap top, plugged into outlet and lap top kept blinking from battery then elec. I moved to a different outlet and let Roger know, he checked it out and outlet will not reset, so another thing to check out.
