We're so happy to be here! We've met super great full time RVers and love not listening to upstairs neighbors like in the apartment.
Seems like if something could go wrong it did but maybe it did for good reason. We've especially learned RVing in freezing weather isn't for us. As soon as the propane furnace turns off it's very cold in here so we're going through a lot of propane, about twenty-five gallons in a week and a half. The little electric space heaters try but can't keep it warm enough in here.
I'm no stranger to the high price of propane. When I had my adorable little 1,152 square foot house in the country the only thing that used propane was the heater and the propane bills averaged $2,000 a month for three months. Of course I had to buy a new electric HVAC unit I'll be paying on for many, many years.
There's something wrong with the water flow to the campsite we're in so we're using the water hook-up from the next (vacant, of course!) campsite so Todd went and bought a longer hose and it isn't insulated. He did insulate the one we thought we could use but now if it's going to freeze he goes out and unhooks and empties it out after one morning we had to thaw it out in the bath tub! Efforts to make it to work by 9:00 for me has been futile all week long!
So, we moved our take off date up to Saturday, November 30th, 2013 at noon. We're hoping spring weather gets here soon and my job hires someone full time so I can train them. We have a lot we want to add to the TT like solar panels and a 100 gallon water tank. We'll need a sway stabilizer too then off to warmer weather forever!
