RV-Ruins Vacations

Have you heard Bill Engvall's comedic routine about RV's? When I first heard it, we were not yet proud owners of an RV, so I found it quite humorous. We have now owned a 30' Tioga motorhome for almost two years, and Engvall's RV routine has taken on a truer meaning and lost it's humor.

Honestly, the thought behind them is genius, and sometimes you even get to experience the luxuries they provide, but never plan to enjoy them all in one trip. Not gonna happen. This particular trip, the A/C is functioning properly (Praise the Lord given my current state of pregnancy and the fact that it's 107 degrees out), but the refrigerator refuses to work. Ugh, seriously!

Another luxury of a motorhome, which requires some balance but can be done: using "the john" going down the road. Also made even more amazing at this stage of pregnancy (which by the way is 34 weeks along as of today). However, just now after using that luxury, the handle seems to be malfunctioning, not allowing it to drain. The hubby is currently driving, so he has yet to take a look at it...hopefully it'll be an easy fix, or just an oversight on my part. yes, that does happen from time to time. it also helps remind me how lucky i am to have such a handy husband.

hmmm...speaking of unavailable luxuries...my physical keyboard caps lock option seems to have decided to take a break. sorry for the lack of capitalization from here until, well, it decides to work again, or i decide to google what the heck causes this to happen.

anyway, back to the joys of motorhome ownership. i'm a firm believer that if trips with the motorhome were planned further than an afternoon in advance of taking them, much of these issues could be worked out, but planning ahead is not one of our strongest qualities as a married couple. that's okay, right?

well, we've arrived in hays for the fair races today, saturday, and tomorrow. tomorrow is a dtc great plains stock car series race...those are always fun, having gotten to know so many of the drivers personally now that the tour is just about half over.

everyone have a safe and fun weekend...i'll leave you with a photo of the coolest thing we saw on this road trip.
