Adventures in RVing!
Jun. 19th, 2017 09:38 am Well it's day #1 of our RV vacation in Hot Springs! It's sort of a working vacation, since Bryan is actually at a training at the school of math & science here (it's the curriculum organization training for his programming class). Anyway, we've learned a few things so far:
Have a longer sewer hose than you need. We went out & bought a 15' with an elbow joint and all threaded connections. SO NICE.
Wanna bring out the ultimate stupid in other drivers? Drive an RV. Had a dummy almost cause a head on accident with oncoming traffic yesterday. It was on a very winding highway between the main interstate and Hot Springs. I was driving 55 in the right lane at an area that's meant to let people pass the slower moving traffic for a short distance. This goober waited until the left lane had already ended, AND THEN decided to swing out and pass me. This of course DIDN'T WORK because there was no more lane, and there were cars in the oncoming. If this accident had happened it would've involved at least 4 vehicles including my RV, and would've happened right at my left front bumper. All this to try & pass someone technically driving the speed limit. It's not worth it, whoever you are in the white Tacoma.
KOA campgrounds have wifi! This is how I'm currently coming to you from an RV. It's not the BEST wifi connection (it is certainly not up to Ganon's standards) but as Leslie said: "Wifi at a campground! Living in the future!" It's enough for Ganon & I to be watching Breath of the Wild YouTube videos.
Haven't tried showering yet, but that's next up.
Looking at all the other RVs. Some are super stripped and plain; some of them are ULTRA FANCY. There's an incredible one up the hill with this outdoor entertainment system...holy cow. Right now I'm looking at the cutest little teardrop camper. They're cute & cleverly laid out, but boy do I love my much bigger motorhome with all the nice amenities.
