Well, after many long days of cleaning, fixing electrical connections, and getting the 5th wheel hitch and brake controller installed, we got the new baby hooked up and went around the block (here in the country that's about a 10 km run). Bruno practiced backing....and says he needs more, but was quite pleased with the ride. I have a few problems, though, and thought I'd ask you experts.
Somehow, a lot of weird things happened inside. Curtains fell off, doors opened, dishes shifted and broke. One of the screens fell inward. The glasses and mugs were intact, but had tilted badly. I'm off to WalMart today to buy a Corel set, but do you have any tips on where and how to put them away?
I had the dishes in one high cupboard on the left side, and glasses/mugs in high cupboard on the right. I've lined all the cupboards with rubber matting. The plates were not stacked high, and there were only 4 bowels, stacked 2 each. This is a 30' Scotty...no slides. The kitchen is in the back.
I wasn't in with Bruno (as he took our neighbor, who is a newly retired trucker, and we wanted input), but he said he didn't "hot dog" at all. Mind you, yesterday was one of "those" days. I had to send a fax last night and stayed on-line, wondering why it wouldn't send. :![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Despite everything, it was great to see ""MATILDA"" rolling. We found a campground that's just 15 min away, and hope to be in it tomorrow night. This way, we can run home for whatever we forgot. I may have trouble getting the dogs inside it, as they're little brains are having a hard time trying to figure out how the new house moved!
Thanks in advance....It's great to know we have you all out there, waiting to help newbies. I'm hoping to meet people at the campsite who can give me lots of pointers as well. I'm So excited!
Roll on!!
