Another Exciting Episode in Audrey's Great RV Adventure

[REWahoo]

The way I am going to be busy with work for the next several months, and then perhaps into next year, I should stop looking for an RV. My wife has to stay in town to watch over her father anyway. Perhaps I should just save the money I am making now on these jobs to splurge on a nicer RV later, like those Sprinters. I am ready to spend some money, but my wife has been reluctant.

I suspect you would be wise to delay - very dissatisfying having an RV sitting around you want to use but are unable to do so due to work.

We made the mistake many years ago of buying a Class C under those circumstances. It became a source of frustration rather than enjoyment and we sold it less than a year later.

While surfing the Web reading about RVer's experience, I again ran across the poor chap who totaled both his truck and travel trailer in a rollover accident. As I wrote before, he blamed it on the grooved pavement of the highway. In anothe post, he claimed to be 10 mph under the speed limit. Do you believe it?

Gee, NW-Bound - - - I don't know. I just live in a house and it hasn't rolled over, at least not yet. I am always careful when driving on grooved pavement.

 

[NW-Bound]

Don't go too fast in your new car though. V6 power? I dunno...

I was driving it on the Interstate yesterday, and it sure has a lot of zip.

Drove through Quartzite Az a few days ago - HOLY QWAP! Millions of dollars worth of every kind of motor home and trailer you can imagine all scattered around out in the desert doing dry camps. Looks like a huge swap meet and gathering site for snowbirds.

...- HOLY QWAP!...

I never saw that before!

Is it OK if I use it every now and then?

If it suits you it just tickles me plumb to death.

Be careful out there!

 

[NW-Bound]

...Be careful out there!

Uh oh! Shouldn't the warning be "Be careful in there"?

This is one experience we have carefully avoided RV-wise.
