Our 9 days on the road
We parked back at the house yesterday after nine days out.
We learned, or should I say Patti learned, that we probably could do ok if we were on the road for an extended amount. The first several days in Colusa we found out the temperatures that we would try to avoid. The 107*-105* temps were not enjoyable. The ac and the fridges struggled but overall we did enjoy the time. Our Grandchildren loved "going camplig"...We stayed at the Fairgrounds and had all the necessary services.
Then our stay in Vacaville was much more comfortable. We parked at the Midway RV Park. Both the Vacaville parks are small and tight but comfy. The first day in Vacaville was warm but from there the cooler breezes from three Pacific wandered in and made it very comfy. We hit two nearby wineries, Matchbook and Turkovich. I am a beer snob, CRAFT BEERS only, but those two wineries were outstanding. Visited friends and ate lots of great food...
NOW for the 5th Wheel. Performed well and thanks to knowledge from the site learned a bit more about its workings.
Found out our water heater seems to only be gas operated.Opened the outside panel and saw no switches. Not real happy about that. When we picked up the 5th Wheel they had told us that both propane tanks would be full. They forgot one. Not a disaster.
NOW FOR MY SCREW UP. I had raised the batwing to see if we might pick up anything. Nope. But when I lowered the antennaI did not lower it to the spot where it snaps in. Now I will be replacing our antenna. VERY TICKED at my boo-boo, VERY. Oh well.
That is our trek .
