I Was Able To get To The RV

Ah, a sure sign of Spring. I was able to get to the camper on Sunday. Enough snow had melted enabling me to open the door to the camper and poke around for a while.
I had been hearing a beep coming from that direction for the past few weeks and figured it was a low battery warning for the smoke detector or the carbon monoxide detector. It was the later of the two, but both devices are now at full strength .
Everything else in the rig looked pretty good. I will know for sure when I am able to drain out the antifreeze from the water lines and fire up the appliances.

Can you tell I am getting Spring Fever?

You never know what you will find after putting something like an RV to bed for at least five months. Any one of a number of problems can crop up.

Speaking of problems....how about these "issues"?















I can only imagine some of the choice words uttered or screamed during those "events"!

Great Little RV Show

Sunday afternoon we went to a small RV show sponsored by Gag's Camper sales in Mankato.

It was held at the National Guard Armory.


They had several units outside that were nice, but not what we were looking for.

That story changed when we got inside...once again we felt like kids in a candy store.

It did not take long to find our favorite...here are a few inside pictures.

We were VERY impressed with this new company...Open Range.

This company is up and coming and appears to have a grip on the fact that if they are to survive they will have to builder lighter and stronger units. The Open Range company builds units of this size (38 feet) that are 2,000 pounds lighter than others of comparable size.

Tune in again soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
