9/29 - 10/1 Size Does Matter

This was our first sight of the Motor home when we drove up. Gary, the man that preps all the RVs bought through RV Direct, had it sitting in the entrance of this a very large warehouse. It's a van alright but Oh My Gosh it is a BIG van.

Before we even left Hawaii we had planned to stay in Elkhart for a few days to make sure everything was working okay and we felt comfortable enough to hit the road. We were also so grateful to Jodi and Jon that we were able to stay with them while we got set up.

After meeting with Gary we decided that was a good plan - there was much to learn. This was very sophisticated compared to what we had in the past. We felt very comfortable knowing we were 5 minutes from Gary if we had any questions or concerns. Over the three days we had tons of questions and Gary was more than patient with us.

Elkhart is considered the Motor Home capital of the US. The campground is run by the city for people like us that are picking up their rig or are there having repairs done.

OK tomorrow we hit the road. The plan is 200 miles a day. The kids say at that rate we won't reach Oklahoma until New Years. Route 66 here we come.
