A Road Trip by Car and A Week in Mexico

We've been busy getting things done on the RV but then a road trip to the Oregon Coast, a week at home, and then a week's vacation at an all inclusive in Mexico put all of that work on hold.

The trip to the Oregon Coast was really fun and I'm glad I did it by car and hotel first as now I know what the roads are like and where there may be places to boondock and camp out for a while when ever I make down there in my RV.

I'm happy to report that I put some trim on the exterior of the RV and it looks good, blends in well with the fiberglass paneling however I may have leak on the front passenger side corner of the bed-over-cab area.  Quite dismayed that spraying on a sealer and using silicone sealant has not proven to be enough to keep the water out.  I added more sealant the week before leaving to Mexico but have not had the time to get to the RV to see if it made a difference.

Maybe we can get over to the RV some time this week so I can take a look as it has rained a lot over the past few days so I'll know one way or another if the leak has been repaired.

The interior of the RV is looking really good and I've actually added a few touches of home to the RV to give it more of a a homey feel and boy does it make a difference.  Oh, and having a chair to sit on to eat lunch or simply take a breather is such a luxury as is the space since all of the junk has been tossed.

One more major project to do and then I'll totally clean out the RV so she is ready for more touches of home and then it is time for a call to a mechanic so she gets a good mechanical and systems overhaul before I take her out on the road.

So much time has passed by since my initial goal of getting into the RV.  Life can certainly get in the way, if you will...our choices really can take us in a different direction that we planned but that is also a part of the learning process I guess of trying to transition from one lifestyle to another. 

I'll get there soon enough but a lot patience is required before that happens...soon, soon, soon...

Thanks for dropping by and Happy Camping!
