Texas Trip Update
One week from today we will be headed out for our trip to Texas where we will
Camp Hosting for a couple of months. On the way we will be spending two weeks at
Big Meadows Camp Ground on Skyline Drive VA. We are looking forward to seeing
the fall colors. From there we will move on to Knoxville Tenn. where we plan on
staying a couple days before moving on. After that we have not made any plans, I
will drive 4 to 5 hours each day and then stay over for a day or two. We have
allowed about 2 week to make it to Texas. On the way we will pass thru Alabama,
Mississippi, and Louisiana. When we finish up Hosting in Texas we will be off to
the Grand Canyon Arizona if all go as planned. We will sure miss our friend at
Janes
Island State Park in Maryland, if you have never been there you will have to
give it a try it is a great place to spend the weekend or a week. The staff are
very friendly and the Parks is one of the cleanest we have been to. Looking
forward to return next spring.
Today I finally got around to installing a set of awning lights that we order online. The ones we looked at at the Hershery Park RV in PA. where over one hundred dollars so I decided to look online and found the one I installed for $29.00 + shipping. They where easy to install and work great. I will say the the double sided tape on the back is not the best but if you clean the surface good before you install it should stick ok.
The lights come with a 44 button remote and give you a lot of options as far
as changing colors and brightness. It only took about two hours to install. I
installed the controller and power supply on the inside of the 5th wheel and ran
the remote eye on the outside thru a small hole on the side.
So far they are working great will update after we have had a little time to try all the different lighting modes to see what ones we like the best.
Some of the other updates we have made to the 5th wheel to get ready for the trip is added a new bike rack to the rear bumper, new tires and spare, New tire on truck and added a 5000 pound Super Spring Installed new muffler pipe for the generator and a good wash and wax job, so I think we are ready. I will try to post pictures and updates along the way as long as I can get signal for internet. Not sure how the Hot Spot is going to work in the mountains of Skyline Dr. VA. will have to see. See you on the road.
