We decided that it was time to see America so we sold our home (in 3 weeks) and bought a new 5th wheel and took to the road. It was hard to leave our grandchildren but with email,texts and cell phones we knew they would survive...and so would we. Almost everything we own is in 3 pods in Texarkana Texas. We plan to travel as much as we can and have met so many great people so far..and who knows...maybe we don't need all of that "stuff" in storage cause we sure don't need it on the RV. A very simple lifestyle and we love it more everyday.

COOL FRIG...COOL

Well as with everything that is purchased brand new...there are some kinks that need to be worked out. We arrived in Elkhart Indiana, the place where our 5th wheel was made on August 17th. We had developed a problem with the cooling in the refrigerator. Since we were close by we thought we might as well take it to Heartland. They make several types of trailers and 5th wheels. Well to our dismay they said NOPE...no can do, but this is where you need to take it. Well we found the place OK and the tech assured us we would be out in no time. Got a ladder and looked in the back of the frig and said...YEP...that's whats wrong. Glenn and I were so excited that they could fix it....QUICKER THAN WE COULD BLINK  he said...told us to go get some breakfast and they would call us. Well 10 days later, a brand new entire cooling unit, new parts, and then finally they threw up their hands and said...Ok need a entire new one. Well since they build these 4 door refrigerators (the size of the one we had in our house) around the RVs they ended up removing one of our large side windows and with the help of a hoist, and 5 guys, we finally got a brand new frig. We lost alot of food but the guys at RV Capitol Repair in Elkhart, Indiana were absolute gems. We spent 10 days in the parking lot in back of their shop along with 6 other couples that were having warranty work done....that part was not fun but we consider it a little bump in the road.  By the way that little breakfast place they told us to go to turned out to the the best breakfast we have EVER had, or at least in 10 years. The COCK-A - DOODLE CAFE , if you are ever in Elkhart Indiana around breakfast time, it's the place to go.
