Cave City, KY

Our new "We're Traveling" photo

We're free!  We've broken away from the Elkhart area and moved - as you'd guess -  south back into more snow - wintry mix - rainy weather.  Some would say it's like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.  It's really pretty much the way things work for us in the RV lifestyle.

We made it to Cave City, KY.  We came

This is how Elkhart treated us.

here because when we first planned our move south, this was the first area we could reach where we could get freshwater and temps would be above freezing.  Turns out temps are at freezing or just below freezing, and we can only get water during the day.  Amazing how fast that weather forecast changed in just a few days!

Anyway, we're out of Elkhart.  Donna is working like a busy bee cleaning the inside of the trailer.  We've more or less de-winterized and using water out of the freshwater tank as the campground shuts off freshwater at 5 PM each day.  So far we've got an intermittent left turn signal light on the door side of the trailer (only showing up when temps dropped below freezing), a hot water heater that only runs on propane (happened before - we'll get it fixed so it runs on electricity later), and we haven't tried the new washer/dryer combo.  Oh, and a new MCD shade that doesn't want to work properly.   Search on YouTube may help us get that solved.

I kinda keep track of how long we go after service with everything working.  Been a couple of years since we left service with everything working.  That's part of the reason we had an extended service this time as we're just trying to get things to work they way they were suppose to.  Looks like we get a big zero for this session, too.

We got the new suspension.  The new hitch and new suspension now have us competing for the world's tallest RV at 13 ft, 5 inches.  (That's obviously not true, but when you're use to 13 feet, 1 inch, it feels that way.)  The upside is that we can now travel off road in the deserts of Arizona without fear of the trailer hitch pin taking out one of the bed rails.  This new growth also required new steps so we could reach the door without having to pull out a step stool every time you wanted to enter or exit the trailer.  The new steps made the door now harder to open and close (these steps stow inside the door of the trailer).  Nothing like improvements, right!  But so far all that stuff works.  Just gotta get use to it.

So that's it for us.  As I close the weather radar says light snow.  If so, that's the hardest snow I've ever experienced.  It's raining and raining fairly hard.  Hopefully, it won't freeze!  It's too bad some of this weather can't slide west to help out with the fires.  Anyway, thanks for dropping by!  Until next week, David
