In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Gulf Shores, AL

Busy busy day. We had an 8:30 appointment to get the oven repaired as the thermostat was in and we had to tow the trailer to see if the truck vibration was repaired. We broke camp and had the trailer hooked up and ready to go. I discovered we had a flat tire on one of the inside duallies. I put air in the tire and the valve stem was leaking. We disconnected and the second tire store I stopped at removed and replaced the valve stems on both inside duallies. If one was bad the other one would soon would be too. Back to get the trailer and we towed it to the RV dealer who repaired the oven. The truck still vibrated. After the oven was repaired we drove some more to be sure the vibration was the same as before the Ford dealer adjusted the rear end. We called the Ford dealer about noon and towed the trailer back to them. I drove the mechanic around their lot so he could feel the vibration. He's calling his tech support in Detroit and mentioned having an engineer look at it. We were set up about 1pm back at Gulf Breeze RV Park. Then the rain came. We've been here since 11/5 and today was the first bad weather day (it was still warm...65). It has rained twice during the night but today it rained from 1pm until 7pm. Mobile had 3 inches this afternoon. We then took the loaner car back to Hertz and did some shopping for a couple hours. I'm pooped!
