Maintenance Focus
Late April The maintenance needs for “RV Where Yet” are coming into focus. Basically, everything works. So we are mainly making decisions about pre-emptive (proactive) maintenance vs. fixing things that break when they break. Helping us to make these decisions…
Storage?

Washington D.C.
We visited Washington D.C. to help my Great-Aunt Marilee move. This was a somewhat “forced” situation as her Retirement Community was closing for construction. Management offered to pickup all the costs for her move to another of their buildings, where…
Our First Visit
8 April .. Our first visit to “the Bus.” This was an EXCELLENT DAY on the RV front. We drove down to St. Louis to take a look at the offered RV. Many thanks to brother-in-law Paul Kokkin for coming…
