We started off early, 6:45 time to leave donations at the curb.
Have breakfast.
Get to bank shortly after 8AM open.
Drive two hours to Camping World.(Jon was Great! by the way).
Hit traffic.
10AM eta becomes 10:30.
Get extensive, all be it mind boggling, walk through of the motor coach.
Signed lots of papers.
Put more money in for road hazard on those $800+ tires and rims.
Have lunch to fuel trip home.(about 2pm).
Got lowdown on towing package and put more money down.
Pick up motor home and drive off the lot. Immediately hit construction traffic.
20 minutes and 2 miles later we are at gas station.
Fuel tank was 1/4 full and still took $380 at $3.97 a gallon.
George was on the job even while following us in traffic. He found out that we would need to add another grand to the PT Cruiser to flat tow it. We had to go back to cancel our deposit. Luckily we were only a couple miles away due to the construction traffic.
Moral; check first. But George is quick and found a dolly for the same price as the tow package less auxiliary brakes and transmission pump, near home in Flanders, eliminating one more 2 hour trip with a caravan of cars.
Tammy had some stressful phone calls in the mean time. But we finally got under way!
The best laid plans of mice and men....
We had planned to miss traffic and be home before dark. I got rush hour traffic and nighttime practice instead. (more than I bargained for, that's for sure).
Get to the Long Valley Cycle Craft parking lot after 7. But at least we have a place to park thanks to our benevolent boss.
Make sure every thing is buttoned up (this actually took a while).
Got home about 8PM.
Tammy was nearly in a low blood sugar coma.
George and I got her in the house and I got her fed and to bed.
Now that damn snow!
