Dragracer Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 We've been going to our local lakes & staying the weekends. Having a lot of fun & really enjoying the RV life. Had a few bugs to work out like the Norco replacement with a Frigidaire house unit. Ol Norco would do pretty good in the mornings & at night but in the evenings in the hot Texas weather 107-108 degrees it didn't like it.lol Also had a sink leak from behind the slide & got that taken care of too. Done some maintenance, changed the fluid & filters in the Allison Transmission & the Onan. Greased the whole chassis & installed 8 new Bilstein shocks. Rides pretty good now. Going to pull the drag car to a dragrace if it ever cools down a bit. Meanwhile what is everyone doing in their RV's. I 've got 2 1/2 years before I retire then can just take off to anywhere. But for now we are just weekenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaz996 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) I'm full time so it's always fun. So there is always something to fix or upgrade. I'm currently up in Island Park, ID where it is 67 F 😁 Edited September 10, 2023 by timaz996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDCrow Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 We put ours in an rv park near our favorite lakes. Pay monthly to have it there, the grab it to hit other lakes ir longer trips as we have time. Headed to the coast for salmon fishing next week, then Lake Havasu for a few weeks to wrap up the RV year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis N - 2005 Windsor Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) If your college football fan, ask if there's RV tailgating. We have a blast and have met lots of friendly people. We rent a spot for the season, able to arrive at the University of Florida 6:30 Friday night and don't have to leave till noon on Sunday. Some universities have visitor spaces available, and / or free lots on a first come first serve.

I waited a day for the mud to dry out. It was still "sketchy". Weekend dirt bike racing. This weekend, for my 70th birthday, we're headed to a race in NC WITHOUT the bike. Mixed emotions, but I can't get my broken foot into the boot (yet). I'm also the scorekeeper with all the equipment so my presence is "helpful". Next week is FL. - bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTFLMAO You try it and let us know how it goes I did it several times, when I had to move from California to Alabama in 1994, and the Army only gave me three days to do it. I tried it once in the motorhome, when traffic was bumper to bumper, but Brooke put the kibosh on it quickly with, “What the hell are you doing???

Practicing, which is the same as racing but less structured and no trophy (bragging rights only). With my buddies if we had mobility scooters we'd be racing those, too. - bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
