Ready to roll on our maiden voyage

Merry Christmas

Maiden Voyage

Yep today was our maiden voyage. We traveled about 130 miles from Alliance Coach to Sun-N-Fun RV Resort. Hooked up the Jeep and got it ready to tow, xfer case in N, xmission in P and key set to unlock the wheels. We stopped at the first rest area we came to on I75 south and checked that everything was ok. We continued on and took another stop about an hour later to get a drink and some groceries we had left in the Jeep. No issues on the highway or on the "surface" roads. It was easy navigating to our site and reviewed our back in plan. No problem backing into the site. One thing I will do next time is to change the angle on the mirrors so I can see Suzette easier to get her signals. Pictures are at the link in the side bar.

Kayak and Bike racks

Got a call from Wildwood Cyclery that our order was in. We went and picked it up and started the install of the rail grips for the kayak mounting. I went to the service area here at Alliance Coach and was directed to Charlie to get the mounting pipes cut. Did a fine job, de-burred and all. Once the rail grips and pipes were mounted we adjusted the loaders and loaded the kayaks. Once the kayaks were mounted we started on the Yakima spare tire bike rack. That went rather quickly and we mounted the bikes. Got everything stowed and we will be ready to roll tomorrow. Short trip to SNF.

Moved out of Camper

We have completed our move from our Arctic Fox 30U into our 2008 Holiday Rambler 40PDQ. All that is left is the mounts for our kayaks and bikes on our Jeep Liberty. Hopefully the parts we ordered will arrive tomorrow, 12/13. It is amazing how much stuff we had in that 32' travel trailer.

Endeavor

Ok, we are almost moved into our Endeavor 40PDQ. We just need to arrange a few things so we can travel. We purchased a Jeep Liberty as a tow car and had an SMI Break system installed. Real neat a lot more convenient that a Brake Buddy. More expensive too. We are now waiting for rack parts for the Jeep so we can carry our kayaks and bikes. They should be here by Thursday. Oh the pneumonia is clearing up and I almost have my voice back. Suzette is recovering well from her bronchitis. We should make Sun-N-Fun on Friday or Saturday.

Traveling

Well this pneumonia hacks! But I seem to be better.
Tomorrow we are off to alliance coach to look at the new to us, 2008 holiday rambler endeavor 40pdq. We are also buying a 2006 jeep liberty as a toad.

Soon to be on the road

Both of us have been sick. Suzette had bronchitis and I am suffering thru pneumonia. So we delayed our departure a few days.
We should be at Alliance Coach by Thursday where a new adventure begins.
