Sock Hop & Air Conditioning

Last night was our campgrouds last blast and it was a sock hop. Great singers... Kids were out daning and we had a great time. Jack decided  that he was tired and wanted to go home so I left a bit early to put him to bed. On a other note... our front roof air is giving us troubles. I think the compresser is going... So I called camping world and of course the cheepest roof air for us is about 750.00. So better to get it fixed now then having no air in AZ this fall. Going to look for work camper job in AZ for after we get done in MO this summer. We got the screen room up and of course it is a bit to big... going to have a guy come and cut it down and sew it back together... hope it works.... Untill later

JJ & I at the Gulf of Mexico

Water....

Well we needed a new faucet for the kitchen sink. Someone put the wrong size on and it only reached the inside corner of the double sink. Imposable to wash dishes. Drove south to a parts store for RV's and of course they did not have one... so back to the rv and will go tomorrow to another parts store to see if I can find one. Lowes did not have anything we could use :(  
Till next time ~~Hugs

What a nightmare

Ok, So the past week was not a fun one... We were suppose to be at our work camping job on Monday. As I said before we bought a minni winnie for the local Chevy dealership... Well we picked it up on Monday at 4:30... The tech drove it out of the bay and JJ got in to drive away and geuss what... Battery gage was bouncing... The tech say " Oh you need to get up to 1500 RPS and it will be fine.... this just after him putting in a new alternator (sp).... Oh did I say how the antifreeze was pouring out of the front??? UHHGGG I got out of the trailblazer and told the tech that this was not right... DUHHHH... He bled the radiator and say it was fine and we could go.... Get it home about 10 min drive and guess what.... DEAD IN THE DRIVEWAY !!! SOOOO I called the dealership and demanded my money back or I was going to call every God fearing TV station in the state of Florida... Manager of dealership said to bring it back in the morning... AHHH it doesnt start... He said to call a tow truck and they would pay... Ya they will pay...
So Tues morning rolls around and I get my money back.... Looked at a privet sale Large 33 foot Winnebago class A... Half the price and 100% better than the minnie...More tomorrow..

Deciding to RV full time...

Well I am sure our family and friends are going to completely think we are nuts... on average we have been moving way to much SOOOO we decided to buy a rv and become full timers. Let me make it perfectly clear we have no idea what we are doing other than we know this feels right... We homeschool our kids and what better way to teach them than teaching about our great country and seeing what the world has to offer. Let me introduce us for those who dont know us... My name is Christine, my husband Jim (JJ) and Savannah 8 and Jack 5.
Jim and I have done allot of research on full timing and we now feel confident that we want to do this... We are supposed to pick up our motor home today. We are buying a 1991 Mini Winie. Used obviously... We will keep you posted. Our plan is to pick up, load and get in the RV LOL... Ok so we are members of all RV associations now due to us going to a RV rally in Brooksvlle last week. We are going to be headed off to Homosassa FL in a couple days... I will post later...
Oh, P.S. We will be cleaning out house today so if you need anything let me know...
