Busy Home Time~

 

8-31-2026 Butch is Home!

Butch stopped at Nationwide for Maverick's oil change & tune-up before continuing home.  The cloud cover made it look cooler than it was.  It's been so hot & humid it's like being in a sauna full time.  Maverick made the trailer look small!  We went to dinner & discussed what our plans were for trailer interior.

9-1 First slide~

9 -1 Both far slides out~

Butch was busy doing a thorough inspection of the rig.  He was over it, under & all through it.  By afternoon, we drove back to Council Bluffs to visit the Camping World Service Department.  Butch had quite a discussion with the Service Manager about inspecting the trailers before they're delivered.

9-3-2026 A busy place~

By 9 a.m. on the third, Technician's from Camping World & the driver who'd made the delivery were here.  The brakes on the rear axle hadn't been connected.  The new F-250 the delivery driver used to tow, should have shown an error message regarding the brakes.

9-6 Looking up from the trail~

We had all the faux leather furniture, seating area table, chairs & bedroom mattress taken out at the dealer.  I ordered a good love seat & will be using mom's antique table & chairs.  Many thanks to Mike & Dwaine for their help moving super awkward, heavy items into the trailer!

My favorite wall tapestry found a spot over our bed.  Family heirlooms & our art will be shipped out & go into storage in WA for now.  I've been looking at all the things we've collected over almost 44 years of marriage.  Then, there's all the items I'd saved from dad's estate in 2012 & moms in 2016.  It's somewhat overwhelming. 

We'll be traveling lighter & I'll have a lot less work to do!  We're purchasing a membership at Port Susan.  Jentry has done all of the leg work for us, driving around to find a spot we liked.  I'm so looking forward to having my husband home again!  I won't miss the constant worry when he's on the road.  We've put in so much time here - both inside & out.  We're ready to be done with it all.  My injury was the catalyst, that started the ball rolling.  Now, we're waiting for the sale to be complete.
