Getting ready to travel

 Slowly moving through the "To Do List" in preparation for "D" day on the 27th.  The outside of the White Lion is done and I've been slowly cleaning the inside.  Finished the driving area, living and kitchen areas.  Still have the bathroom and bedroom areas to go but they won't be too hard.  I took all the shelves out of the fridge and cleaned it.  That was a choir I'm glad to be done with.  I can't believe I have less than two weeks to go.

I bought a Big Buddy heater on Amazon and my son-in-law, Evan is helping me to connect it to the 100 gallon propane RV tank.  It will be more reliable and more efficient than the MH heating system.

Tomorrow I am taking the Jeep in to have the front end checked out.  I believe I have hit one too many rocks and ruts over the years and it now has a shake when driving at 65 miles an hour.  Might be a problem when towed by the White Lion at 70 mph.

Starting next week I will be packing everything I need for the trip and a few groceries to get me started.  Hoping all is done on Friday except for connecting the Jeep.  I'll do that Saturday morning just before leaving.  I have an unexpected announcement to make when I leave so stay tuned.

Yuma is getting excited!πŸ˜€

Later.

    1. You'll just have to wait😁 I got the Big Buddy with the fan. That should warm things up fast. Just a little over a week to wrap things up. Getting anxious to get on the road.

  12. we use the big buddy in our fifth wheel and it will really warm you up. If you are using a hose to a large tank I recommend you get the filter to put on it to keep most of the oil residue out of the Mr Buddy. I also clean mine every year with 91% rubbing alcohol down the tube for the pilot light, that cleans out any of that residue that gets in there. it works great for us.
