Finally found my password to log on!!

Don't you just love it when you are going through your papers and you finally are able to find the password to your blog...   Sorry for the long time between posts!  So much has been happening.  Rob finished his tour of duty and is officially out of the Army.  He is very excited to get to college and start the next chapter in his life.  Brittany is going to have surgery in October and we are praying for a speedy recovery.  We haven't been able to take the 5er out as often as we would like, but we will soon.  We are still working, and getting our bills caught up so when we do go full time, we won't have to worry about debt.  We are really loving the RVillage.com site.  It is wonderful to have such a great resource.  We will try to keep up on the blog and hope to visit with fellow RVers.  If you are in the Boise area, please message us on RVillage at Caravaning USA with Jon & Felicia.

Memorial Day In Marcola

We just got home from a wonderful time visiting Felicia's mom and dad near Marcola, Oregon.  We really enjoy getting out in the sun by the pool and visiting with all of the great people.  Can't wait to go back in August for more.  We are both a bit tired, so bed time is near.  We will post some more in the next day or two.

Out and about in our 5er

We are out and about in our new to us 5th wheel.  We are enjoying getting to know the ins and outs of the rig.  We are also realizing what we forgot at home, what we forgot in the old rig when we traded it in, and what we need for this rig that we didn't need for the other.  This is all what makes RVing fun!  We are staying in a wonderful park located in Caldwell, Idaho.  It is the Ambassador RV Resort.  This is a first class park with all the usual amenities, with the nicest people!  The park is very clean, well run, with a staff that bends over backwards to make sure everything is just right.  Even though it is close to home, we will be coming back to enjoy the people.  Tonight the park has a "jam session" scheduled.  Can't wait to join in.

We finally got our 5th wheel!!

We just signed on our 5th wheel.  Its a 2010 Heartland Bighorn 3670RL.  We are so excited.  One more step closer to going full time.  We purchased from Bretz RV in Boise, Idaho.  They made the whole process very stress free and without the typical drama found at a lot of dealers.  We were kinda sad as we drove away from our Class C... sitting in their parking lot all alone... but we got over it fast.  Can't wait to get it out on the road and try it out.  Kat and Reggie are going to have all the new smells and places to check out.  I think they will like it much more than the Class C.  Please feel free to comment and let us know about your adventures.

It's a Monday...

So, I was in the office this morning and someone said "hey, what is hanging down under your new pickup..."  I went out and looked, and lo and behold, one of the inspection plates and a small cross member under the fuel tank where barely being held on by a few threads on the bolts and several of the bolts missing all together.  I took it directly to the dealer that worked on it a few weeks ago.  It was having issues with the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injection pump.  It took them a week in the shop, but they got that fixed.  Apparently they were in a hurry to get it out of the shop and just "forgot" to finish putting it back together.  To the dealerships credit, they did apologize, got it right in and the service manager gave me a free oil change (as many know, for a diesel this is about 100.00 dollars).  I was a bit upset earlier in the day, but have since been able to come down a bit.  I couldn't imagine what could have happened if the cross member had come off while we were going down the interstate and hit someone behind us... scary!  Felicia's back is feeling better today after going to the doctor.  Flexoral is a wonderful thing... That all for today. 

So, I lost my previous blog log in info, so I had to start a new one.  So... here we go again.


We are in the market for a fifth wheel and have been looking at Keystone Montana, Grand Design Solitude and the Heartland Landmark.  If anyone has any feedback on those, we would love to hear from you.


As soon as our Class C sells, we will be ready to run right out and get it.
