Well, we’ve done the deal and bought an RV. We’ve traded in the trailer and purchased a small Tioga Class C RV. It’s in the driveway for a day or so before being taken to the storage lot. It is 24 feet long, just slightly longer than the Suburban. It is reasonably well equipped — a slide-out to provide more room when parked, a generator, standard kitchen, air conditioning, etc. It’s on a Ford chassis with a V10 engine which seems to climb hills quite well. It’s a 2001 model with low milage and seems ready and raring to go. Now we just need somewhere to take it and the time to go. Meanwhile, I’m sure enjoying the new toy!

The only other news of the day is that the garage door on the double side broke. The spring which provides the assist in lifting and lowering the door broke with quite a racket. Nina was on the phone with a friend when it broke and thought we were having an earthquake! The door is so heavy that we can’t lift it, so the Camery is now being held hostage in the garage until the repairman can get here on Friday. Good thing the Suburban was out of the garage when the spring broke!
