Bidet- Luxury Cleanliness
Yes! We got a bidet. I’ve lightly researched bidets for a while. A good friend, Darlene B, got one a few years ago and absolutely raved about it. I thought of choosing an under-the-seat attachment one, such as “The Element”, because it would be considerably less money, but Barry said he didn’t want cool water… Continue reading Bidet- Luxury Cleanliness

Initial Months at CVR
Overall, we are enjoying settling into Carefree Village Resort (CVR) in Yuma, AZ. When we first arrived the end of September it was often 100+ degrees.

As more people began arriving for the season, we… Continue reading Initial Months at CVR

Since were were “stuck” at the Velocity Truck Center as we waited for official extended warranty approval, we were able to arrange a visit with my brother and his wife! It was really important for me to see him after I learned this same week that he uses oxygen 24/7. This came as a shock… Continue reading Visit With My Brother
Coping With a Week of Waiting
The temperatures each day were low triple digit highs, so what do we do to pass the time while waiting for our extended warranty claim to be approved?Luckily, we had 50 amp power and were able to run both air conditioners the entire time to stay comfortable inside the RV, but we certainly missed our… Continue reading Coping With a Week of Waiting
New Steering Column
We took Vinny in for his yearly oil change and full maintenance to Velocity Freightliner Truck Service in Miramar, CA on Sept 10. The steering was fine when they drove it in for service, but when we got it back 5+ hours later, the Comfort Drive system was no longer working. Barry researched this and… Continue reading New Steering Column
