Mastering 190 Sq. ft.

Since buying our used Lazy Daze motorhome we have struggled with getting to know her. In the begining I saw her as something that would simply deliver accomodation on the road, and thus freedom. Now, one week into our maiden voyage, I can say; there is much more. We spent many hours this week with the operation manual. We call it “Glorias Bible”. Yeah, we named the LD ‘Gloria’ back in San Miguel. Pat liked the name. I had been pushing ‘Kerouac’ for the ‘On the Road’ connection.’ So, the motorhome’s full name is “Gloria Kerouac”... Gloria for practical purposes, and Gloria Kerouac for loftier moments. Anyway, this Gloria has demanded a great deal of attention all week. First there was the adventure of dewinterizing water lines, then there was the missing hot water heater shut off valve (missing to us) 30 amp vs 15 amp power supplies and where the hell is the adapter, and why is something called a pigtail in the house battery compartment? Is there a space shuttle named Gloria?

Despite our inabilities, Gloria Kerouac sailed past 2000 miles this afternoon. All systems are go for her early launch to the coast in the morning.

The pic is of Pat sliding into storage compartment to reach hot water tank shut off valve ... Big guy couldn’t get his shoulders thru the door.
