Beds
Ron:

I do believe that you did send me the welcome as you had promised but my ISP
tends to "lose" things. My wife (sitting 3 feet from me - she says Hi) can
forward me four things and I'll get two of them. Same ISP, same sender, but
some things make it through and some don't.

As you know but some here may not, I'm not new to Birds. I had a 1990 40'
Wanderlodge which I had them build special for me. It was wonderful but I got
real sick and we didn't know if I would live, much less be able to travel in an
RV. So we sold it. But this last summer we took a car trip from San Antonio to
Montana, then to Wyoming, then Bakersfield, CA, then Portland, then the Olympic
Peninsula, then back to Missoula, then to Rocky Mountain National Park, and
finally back to San Antonio. We found ourselves looking longingly at RV parks
the whole way wondering if they had 50 amp service, WI-FI and which sites would
get clear satellite reception.

We began looking for a used rig when we got back. And we bought our current
coach from Bleakley. We had it loaded. We have dual DirectTV satellite,
Directv internet, a washer/dryer, a couple of slides and all the other bells and
whistles available. Oh, and a Select Comfort bed. There are a few problems.
We got a Brake Buddy. Maybe not that brand, I forget, but we've never been able
to make the damned thing work. Also we have a LOT less counter space than we
had in the old RV. I can't see any way to increase it but I want to get someone
with a good imagination to look at it. I thought the extra 3 feet would help
but that gave us a full toilet and vanity where before we just had a toilet
stall, and an extra cabinet across from it. And that's it. So when we get back
from the World Figure Skating Championships in Calgary in late March (flying) we
are heading east to Georgia to see what can be done. Then it's west and north
and eventually to Alaska this summer. And Joy has a hankerin' to go to Inuvic,
470 miles north of Dawson City on a dirt road. But they have a motel with high
speed internet there!

So we'll be checking in with the forum from time to time. We don't do much work
at all on our own coach but not all the conversation here is how to do things.

Regards.

Joe Frost, 2003 43' Wanderlodge

Joe: Something is wrong in the email services then, because I did
welcome you the day you joined. Your spam blocker or ad blocker may
have deleted my message to you. I've had others indicate that this
happens because your system does not recognize me.

WELCOME
