Tomorrow we cut the bow lines and head off into the big wide world for the first time, completely on our own.
Our travel plans and destinations have all changed due to multiple reasons such as the time of year, weather, cost, time. We need to head back to the dealer to figure out what the issue is with our tow master.
We keep getting “battery too low to operate” when it should’t be a issue since we had them put a live wire from the RV to the Jeep for towing so we wouldn’t wear down the Jeep battery by using the breaks/lights. The system cost $1,200 and we made the mistake not doing our homework before we had it installed so we didn’t think much of having to get a live wire to the Jeep.
We thought not having the live wire was the issue with the “battery too low to operate” and had to pay another $200+ for parts/labor. This did not fix the issue and now we have to go back to have it addressed for a third time, which is forcing us 200 or so mile farther west then the planned route.
Not too bad considering everything. We verified this will be 100% covered by warranty so we can do other needful things with the money we wont have to spend on repairs.
I think we are also going to spend 2-3 “hard day’s” driving 4-8 hours. We really wanted to see all the National Park’s between us and where we end up, but time, and time of year, etc, we think we need to be in a warm area, with sun, as quickly as we can. We love the Pacific Northwest, this is our home, but sometime’s its just too damn chilly and you want to be warm and comfy.
Like now.
So in 3 or 4 day’s I will be wearing shorts on a full time bases once more. Happiness.
It has been pretty odd staying a month in Everett. Just when we are starting to get a feel for the area, we are packing up and moving away. It’s been even weirder living in a box in the back alley of my best friend’s house. It’s amazing how you can be so close to someone for so long, and not see them as much as you would think, and right when you leave, you realize you wasted another great opportunity in life.
We wanted to thank Daphna and Allen for the use of their RV lot for the past 40 day’s or so. It is for sure the tightest fit I will ever attempt to get in/out of, it has power and water but no sewage and it came with some many great options such as fun, food, drink and smoke.
Fun was had. Good food was eaten. Great drink’s were consumed and the finest of the smoke was smoked. Laughs and tears shared. Memories made. Dog kicked. Cat beaten. Turtle waxed. Fish fished for.
I have heard a rumor that there is something called “five am”. I was not personally aware time existed before nine am, but I am intrigued enough to see what it is all about and with luck we will be driving South by 6am and arriving at our dealer by 11am.
