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.

HitchHiker repair & lots of RV friends!

Here's a couple pictures of our HitchHiker with the front side fiberglass removed.  This was done to gain access to an area that was flexing when we were hooked up to the truck.  NuWa found that water had gotten inside and rotted some wood. 

Here you can see the new wood at the bottom & two steel L brackets that were added to eliminate any flex. 

This work was done Wednesday & Thursday, Friday the fiberglass exterior was put back on.

We have been spending lots of time with Dave & Theresa Stack, friends from NV.  We have met a new couple, Jim & Loretta, from Maine who are picking up their first RV, a new Discover America, Friday then off to SD, CA & MA.  That's a lot of ground to cover in your first RV!  We also had dinner with another couple from Chicage here to buy their first RV. 
Friday we drove over to Wellington, KS to visit Mel & Dee Hamburg at their home.  We also met them for breakfast Saturday morning & before we left Wes & Tonia called from Tahlequah, OK.  They drove up to Chanute to pick up Dave & Theresa then we met them with Mel & Dee in Wichita for dinner.  Then....Roy & Carol also showed up.  If this sounds confusing....it was!  Just a bunch of HitchHiker friends gathering.

It's Sunday & we are back in Chanute, very tired of living in 3 different motels.  We want our HitchHiker back & return to Onsted.  Oh, & it's VERY hot too.
