The rain was intermittent but frequent. It was raining when my eyes opened and still
raining when the Truck took me for a ride in the area. Here is one of the parking lots near the Allegro
Channel. The stripes on the paved portion are under water. Those fisher folks must have been really
hardcore.
The sinking platform in last night’s blog apparently got fixed.
Here it is from about three miles away up right and level. Nothing about what happened
was in the local news.
Then all the time from lunch on till late was spent
visiting with Paul. He is a super nice
fellow and is a CSI for a county north of here. We chatted at length about
getting his RV ready for boondocking. As
it turns out his choice for his first travel trailer was very excellent. His need is weekends and vacation only. Full
time rving is not on his horizon. Here is his rig.
He had it raised about four inches when he bought
it. The holding tanks are very good size
and his fresh water tank is more than adequate.
It is a light weight rig with a maximum weight of under 3500
pounds. We determined that all he MIGHT
need for a week of boondocking is another battery like the one he has. The
R-pod trailers had not been carefully examined before but this one impressed me
as a good camper.
Paul is so much fun to be around that the OFM teams hope
to cross paths with him in the wild for the purpose of trying to have tooooo
much fun. TheOFM.
I looked at all the R-Pod models recently at the dealer where we buy our trailers, and I agree with you. If I were traveling myself I would have one too. The only trouble for us is my husband is 6ft 3in tall, and none of them have a large enough bed that would comfortably fit him/us.
ReplyDeleteInterior height, as mentioned by Jill, is important to tall people and short people. Our Class-C had high interior height, so much so that my wife could't reach in a lot of the cabnets and no way could she reach the roof vents. Now I have a diesel pusher class-A and the interior height is a lot less, in fact I have hit my head on the inside of the slide-out. I would have thought that the opposite would have been the case. Our Mobile Scout travel trailer had an interior height that was just perfect.
ReplyDeleteBarney - I had a great time yesterday. I really have a lot to think about now. (That always happens when I talk to Barney, that man is a like a great set of Encyclopedias.) For everyone that reads his blog but haven't met him yet, put it on your bucket list.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked my little RPod. It's a great trailer for week long trips. I'm going to get another battery and give a 3 or 4 day boondocking trip a shot. You helped me realize what I can do to make it happen without spending a load of money.
Thanks again for the opportunity to have too much fun with the OFM.
I am really looking forward to the next time we can visit. Have Fun.
