The kids are asking daily how many more days until we get to start our long haul to Alaska. \u00a0As of today its 8 days + many hours. \u00a0I think the kids are more excited about playing hooky for the last day of school so we can leave a bit early. \u00a0We have made several changes to the campgrounds where we plan on staying while traveling. \u00a0We managed to squeeze in staying in Indiana and Iowa so we can knock off two more states off our to be visited list. \u00a0Unfortunately, we might have to change our plans again.<\/p>\n
In April we did a test run in the RV to Loretta Lynn Campground<\/a> in Hurricane Mills, TN. \u00a0I have to say I loved the campground when we were in our travel trailer, but I don’t love it now that we have a 40 foot RV. \u00a0We tried 5 different sites before we found one that was level enough to use. \u00a0On our way home we went to park it at Garber Self Storage<\/a> in Mt. Joy, PA. \u00a0Well, instead of our usual way of backing up, we tried something different. \u00a0Big mistake. \u00a0We ended up clipping the driver side awning over our back slide.<\/p>\n The first place we went to thought we only needed a new end cap. \u00a0Second place we went to (for warranty work for another issue) claims we need a new awning. We have decided\u00a0that we need a 14 foot door to get our RV in and out of storage so when our new RV garage is installed we shouldn’t have the same issues since we will have an additional 2 feet to get in and out. \u00a0In the meantime we are waiting to hear back from the awning company on what needs to be done. \u00a0I have an appointment to install Mobileye<\/a> on Monday so I have to pick up the RV Saturday and return it Tuesday and hope its fixed in time for the trip. \u00a0I also need to find a place on the road that will do my 6 month, 6,000 mile service. \u00a0I doubt I will be able to get it done before our trip. \u00a0I will have to contact freightliner (who made our RV’s chassis) and see where I can take it.<\/p>\n I am trying to be positive and remain hopeful that we will start our trip as planned.<\/p>\n Later Y’all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The kids are asking daily how many more days until we get to start our long haul to Alaska. \u00a0As of today its 8 days + many hours. \u00a0I think the kids are more excited about playing hooky for the last day of school so we can leave a bit early. \u00a0We have made several […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=320"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":322,"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions\/322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
