Monday's best laid plans

This morning we stowed our loose belongings, put the lid on the dog's water bowl, secured the cupboards, folded up the end table, put the computer away, unplugged and removed the lamps, put the antenna down and started old Beluga up in preparation for moving to our final site here at Dakota Ridge.  We were moving from a pull through to a more private and spacious back in,  but before we settled in to our new digs we planned on driving Beluga to the other side of Denver to have her front end aligned.

Last thing to do was pull in the slides.   In came the front slide.   click click click went the back slide.   click click click.  click click click.   Nothing.    Since we didn't have very far to move in the campground Dave just drove very slowly with the back slide still extended.    He backed into M-3 and re-hooked all our services.

whatcha doin dad?

Then he set to work trying to find the slide motor bypass and disengage the brake to be able to bring the errant slide in manually.   Piece of cake, at least it looked like it was a piece of cake.   Dave always takes these things in stride and makes them look easy.

By the time all was back in order it was after 11 a.m. and we'd missed our window to have the alignment work done.    Ah well, best laid plans.    We'll pack up and try again another day.



Sasha loves the deep grass at this site.  We have lots more room outside and no one behind us.    A nice couple, work campers, are on our patio side.   Sweet.    Mr. Lewis should feel more comfortable here.



Unless a trailer full of kiddies with wheels pulls in on our other side.......

  1. Wow...what a day! How does Dave stay so calm when things like slides become so errant? That must be an art form…Of course, it has to help to be a Master fixer of all things.
    Lovely pix of 's Sasha. I love your new grass backyard...it's like a football field after some other sites you've shown us.

  2. Sure hope Mr. David's RV Service visits and figures out what the problem is with the slide. It is so nice having calm, easy going fix-it men because I freak very easily...surprised aren't you:)

    Your new site looks perfect for the furry friends. Hope all stays quiet and calm. Thanks for the doggie photos!

  3. After your hot but exciting Sunday that nice shaded lawn looks like a wonderful spot to be. Tessa is so happy when we have real grass at our site. Hopefully Lewis will get old, quiet folks like us as neighbors. Ahhh, the love/hate of slides :-( Hope it's a quick fix.

  4. Every single time I put the slides in or out I wonder if it's going to work this time! It always has (knock wood)...but it's just one of those things that seems like ti won't work forever! Nice job Dave!

  5. Looks like a great yard for the 4legs and I'm sure Lewis will feel much better there!

  6. We still are having trauma from the last time our slides won't work. What would we women do without our handyman husband. Way to go Dave!
