Preparations Begin

One of the reasons I created this new blog on our web site was to document our life ON the road… as well as off.

This past week I began preparing for our first (and possibly only) trip of 2009 in our camper.  Thursday, I took the trailer over to Camping World to get it serviced.  We had the bearing repacked and a 45 point service check done.  They found problems with the water heater (a spider had built it’s web over the igniter) and with the pig tail. 

Saturday, we purchased a new camera (a nice little Olympus) and picked up some replacement load balancing pins.  Then it was back to the trailer to clean it out a little, removing some of the things that we didn’t feel we’d need for this coming trip.  Today, it was gathering supplies that we WILL need (like the TV that we keep in the house during winter.)

Saturday, Scott and I will be setting off for New Mexico for two weeks.  The only real prep we still need to do is get the truck serviced, and I need to get caught up on the laundry, as well as buy groceries for Gary before we leave.

I can’t wait to get out on the open road!
