After 2 days of boondocking at the Avi Casino in 85+ degree heat
We decided to move on over to the RAT (Riverside Adventure Trails) and use our RPI membership. For $77.00, we now had full hookups and get to test out the coach with power.
I'm happy to say that everything is working just fine. Donna's brother is helping us to find a good toad to tow. We looked at a Jeep Wrangler, but it wasn't a good deal. We will continue looking as we move northward.
We did meet up with Smittys (Jan & Leonard) and went out to dinner at the Black Bear Diner in Bullhead City. Good food there! And their portions are Ginormous too!
While at the RAT, we went through just about everything we own. Getting rid of what we didn't need, or haven't used in the last year. Gene helped us move all the extra stuff over to his house, and we had a two day yard sale.
We did make about $150.00 on the sale. The rest goes to Goodwill.
Our storage compartments are starting to get organized.
Sunday, we went to the Harvest Bible Church, just down the road, with the Smittys.
A great service it was. We thank the Lord for the blessings He has bestowed on us and for watching over us as we travel the country.
Then we moved back over to the Avi Casino.
We will do 2 nights there again.
Tuesday, we took the rig into Paul Evert's RV Country for a couple of little things. They took care of everything really well. Then Gene took us out to lunch to the Black Bear Diner. Look at the size of the burger I had.
It was yumbo!
I still have to install the inverter and our solar setup. I need a combiner box to get the panels mounted on the roof, and I need to figure out how to wire from our Distribution Panel to the electrical compartment where the inverter will be installed. Our breaker box looks full.
I'll figure it out. Me and Google that is!
So here is some pics of the outside.
And some of the inside. These are sales pictures. As soon as we get organized more, I'll post our real ones.
When we bought our rig in Tucson, I had to cancel our reservations at the Thousand Trails in Cottonwood. We wanted to go there to visit with our friends Sherry & Jesse and see the area. We decided to go see Gene and start looking for a toad. A motorhome without a toad is pretty restricting. And we had an appointment with Paul Evert's RV Country for some work. We will be sure to make Cottonwood next year.
But we do still have reservations at the Thousand Trails in Las Vegas starting March 27th. So tomorrow, we lift jacks and head north a bit. Maybe a couple of days along Lake Mead before Vegas.
It's an adventure!
Great looking rig! Looks clean and roomy. It must be exciting to load the new rig and look for a toad. Enjoy Lake Mead, it is a great area. Where are you staying there?
ReplyDeleteIt is very exciting. We just checked into Boulder Beach Campground. Weather is great too!
DeleteBoulder Beach is a very nice campground and priced very reasonably. While you are there, check out Government Wash and Stewarts Point. These are both areas that we would boondock at when we return.
DeleteA drive through Valley of Fire State Park is a must as well!
Fancy Shmansy! Very nice looking. How are the kitties adjusting?
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. The Cats are getting used to it pretty quickly. They chase each other through out the place, and love all the windows.
