Today, Monday, is the last day we have to boil our water before we can use it. Thank goodness for bottled water. And wouldn’t you know as we were relaxing out of the heat the house shook from a big clap of thunder. It is very warm and humid out today. Finally started to rain in the evening and rained most of the night. So today – Tuesday – is another hot and humid one. Good day to stay inside.
Today was the day we took Alfie to the RV doc. Finally getting the recall on the refrigerator fixed and Norcold will send us a $50 gas card for the inconvenience. While there they will fix a couple of vent covers and one of the basement door latches. We told them to take their time (while it’s there the mice can’t find it.)
But I guess I should give you the real news. We are now the proud owners of TWO RVs – Yes, you read that right. For quite some time now we have been following the blog of a man who is traveling around Mexico in his Class C. He is able to go to many places in his RV that we would never be able to take Alfie. And it sounds like fun. So Bill started watching the ads and found something to go look at. So off we went to look at it. And wouldn’t you know IT FOLLOWED US HOME - we kept telling it "Go back. Go back" but she didn't listen to us.
It is – a 1997 Class C Fleetwood Jamboree 30 foot. Gas engine with 17,000 miles on it. A Ford Triton V10 415cid??? Has roof air, microwave, refrigerator and freezer, separated bathroom – shower on one side, toilet and sink on other, walk around queen size bed. Lots of storage under the bed. All windows have good venitian blinds that work and valances. Cupboards above both the dinnette and the sofa area. Shades of blue in color.All upholstery is in good condition. Seems like it got very little use.
Poor little thing has only been here a couple of days and she is all tore up inside already. Bill is remodeling. First thing to go was the carpeting. Putting in a wood grain vinyl in a cherry tone. Then the bunk above the cab was out. That area will soon be an entertainment center and storage. Bill is building the whole unit.
Oh, forgot, before taking out the carpeting the sofa bed had to go – will be replaced with a swivel chair and a small table for laptop. (Looking for them still.)
The area above the seats will be the entertainment center - not much of it shows here
Working on the entertainment center
Kitchen area-Kitchen has a built in spice rack, a double sink and 3 burner range and oven. Also a cupboard with long narrow shelves.
Looking towards back bedroom
This small useless shelf above the bed will be turned into cupboards.
Book shelves will be built in the bedroom and in the bathroom a linen cupboard will be built here.
He is going to be busy for awhile. Also one wall in the bedroom is going to be painted as there was some water damage there. The leak was fixed before it followed us home.
And the work has begun.
Will keep you posted as progress continues.
