The Unglamorous Side of Camping

I have been remiss in posting. This has become a photo journal and we have just been hanging around Hot Springs getting things done, so no pretty pictures.

We have gone disc golfing several times, but you’ve seen that.

And Bud’s colonoscopy found no issues, but you don’t want to see that!

Otherwise I’ve been doing glamorous things like the wash.

And now that we know Bud is okay, I’m back to making reservations.

So far I have reservations up to May 22nd. Since we’re going back to Newfoundland I’m dealing with Canadian National and Provincial Parks again, which means I have to find the parks and then make notes on when reservations open on line. If you’re not in line when they open you may not get a spot!

Today we are replacing our gas absorption refrigerator with a 12 Volt model. Gas absorption refrigerators don’t work well in extreme temperatures and we’ve had ours quit on us twice during cold spells, most recently at San Angelo. I contacted the Outdoors RV factory and they are now using a Furion 12V model in all their campers. A bonus is that the 10 cubic foot model will slide right in to the slot where our current 8 cubic foot model sits.

And there it is. Eventually it will have black glass panels on the doors, but those take about 6 to 8 weeks from the factory. So for now it has the kind of ugly gray shipping panels, but hey, it works.

Tomorrow we leave to race across Texas and New Mexico to get back to our original itinerary in Arizona.
