We had a fine camping season and the Durango 5th wheel is all set in it's winter spot. Here's hoping the critters don't get too attached to if during the winter. The water has been drained and all the food stuffs are out so we just need to put antifreeze in the lines and disconnect the battery and store it. It was a fine home away from home and we indeed consider it our cottage on wheels.
We are very much comfortable with life in the camper and spent probably 60 or more days in it between May and September. I think I am beginning to realize that the life of an RV'r is one of constantly fixing the myriad of things that go wrong. We really appreciate our cars because they are relatively maintenance free but that is not the case for our camper. We they delivered the old Ford Model Ts they also included a few tools because they knew you would need them to be fixing the car but the 5th wheel did not come with any tools!! With out getting into a long litany of all the things that went wrong it is enough to say that we are now much more knowledgeable about the electric, water, suspension, tires systems than we were at the beginning of the season. Thanks to an RV dealer who is alway ready to give instructions and hints over the phone.
Now we are off to see the Bob De Boers in New Jersey with a short stop off in Amish country in Pennsylvania. We have been greatly saddened with the news that brother Roy De Boer has adrenal cancer for which they have no treatment. We are thankful that he has recover from some serious stroke-like symptoms and is home from the hospital now. We will stop by Their home in Fenton, MI to see Roy and Kristin on our way to New Jersey and again probably on our way home also. Please pray for Roy and his wife Kristin.
