We spent all day today shopping at Camping World. OK, we didn’t leave here until after noon. And it’s about an hour’s drive over and another back. And we were home before five o’clock. And we ate lunch while we were out. But, it felt like all day at Camping World.
I can’t believe how much stuff we need to buy just because we traded motorhomes. The new one has a 50 amp power system and the old one had a 30 amp power system so none of our electrical cords and adapters work. The new one has different sized fuses so even that part of the electrical system had no backups in our collection.
The steps are bigger in the new one so we needed to buy new step carpets to help keep the outside where it belongs.
The dump hoses can be reused but we needed some new fittings.
We need to buy a new ladder for this taller rig but it wouldn’t fit in the tiny rental car so that one is still on the list.
We bought a new water pressure regulator which then needed a short section of new water hose in case we can’t screw it right to a campground’s water bib.
We bought a new folding step because the jacks on this thing can lift it so high off the ground that I need help getting up onto the first step of the RV.
And that’s just stuff we bought today.
We’ve already bought a new lap rug to keep me warm when sitting in the Euro Chair. And new glasses and dishes because we have room for them now. And a couple pocket litter trays because we don’t want to scratch the buffet by dumping our keys on it. And a new coffee mug that I can microwave my morning eggs in. And a bar stool I can sit on while I cook.
And we still need a new paper towel holder because keeping the one from the View would have left screw holes in the wall and we weren’t willing to do that.
The good news is we didn’t have to buy a new couch for the old RV. The dealer we traded it to called today to see if we, by any chance, still had the old couch. It seems it will cost them $1700 parts, shipping, and labor to replace it. So we’re good with the money we are spending.
TTYL,
Linda
Congratulations on the purchase of your new home!
We started our fulltiming adventures in a 32H, which is the slightly smaller gasser version of your floor plan and we loved it! That full wall slide makes it live much bigger than it is! The 34Y is what we wanted to move up to, but somehow we came away with a 40TD. (Funny how that works.)
Enjoy the wide open spaces of your new place. Best wishes for many safe, happy and trouble-free miles. We look forward to meeting you on the road one day.
