Just hope we don't lose our rest areas and BLM land :)Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-72959309378833355082020-12-21T20:55:00.600-06:002020-12-21T20:55:00.600-06:00I'm glad it all worked out.

People cry and complain about us RVers not spending our money at their parks and opting for parking lots. They forget, we pay thousands for our Rv's to have a kitchen, bath and bedroom so we do not have to be exposed to the germs of a hotel room, or the theft of the hotel/motels workers when they clean the room halfbuff. Then the RV Park owners complain and cry about us because we don't want to spend $30 to $50 a night to pull in and park and sleep. It's crazy, and because of those stupid city policies, I just drive on to the next town and mark the town/city as not RV friendly and I don't bother going back spend my money in a place RVer's are not well accepted. It pretty much goes both ways, and the parks are getting a wee bit greedy. All this is my own personal humble opinion of course.

Some people seldom stay in Parks and ruin it for others. Parking at an RV Dealership waiting for service is the perfect alternative.<br />Good Luck on your new Batteries.<br />Be Safe and Enjoy!<br /><br />It's about time.Rick and Kathy Rousseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187734210342762674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-6672647974824316572020-12-21T09:17:52.384-06:002020-12-21T09:17:52.384-06:00Doug I read your blog every winter.

We all spend our money there. What a shame.<br />Go and enjoy yourself this winter with the White Lion.

If we meet up I can let you try them out and you can see if you like this boondocking life at all without investing money. 😀Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-7819238851228322772020-12-21T07:34:17.531-06:002020-12-21T07:34:17.531-06:00Wow that was quite the story about the water!
