Getting Ready

Carol did a little spiffing up inside with a new bedspread and a matched set of runner and bath mat rugs.

Our other preparation was the same as in past years.  Dick installed the batteries (they had been on trickle charge all winter).  We had Skip’s RV Service repack the wheel bearings and check the brakes, shocks and tires.  And finally, wash and wax the trailer (this is when Dick is really glad we didn’t get a longer model).

There was a new twist.  Our propane tanks are now over 10 years old.  By law, they can’t be refilled until they’re replaced or re-certified.  We got new tanks.


We de-winterized and checked all 
systems at Alum Creek State Park

The wax job sure helps our 10-year-old
travel home with 78,000+ tow miles sparkle.
