First Trip Out

All my see-through containers ready to pack for our first camping trip

This past weekend marked our first camping trip for Mr. B. and I in our new, used RV.   It wasn't a good weekend.  Blame it on the weather.  It was too hot!!  Ninety-five degrees hot.   Just way too hot to go camping in our RV with an air conditioner that does not work, 3 panting dogs,a camp site with no trees, and a shower that does not shower. I was excited getting everything organized and packing all 11 of our new, see-through containers that we bought for our camping trips.  I was really excited to go.  Surprise was on us.  Neither of us knew that the air conditioner would not work, it had worked at home in the driveway.  The shower worked too....in the driveway at home.

  It was so hot this past weekend I felt like I was melting.  I thought I looked like "Frosty The Snowman" melting; slowly melting into the ground.  That's how I felt.  My clothes were soaked with sweat right to the undergarments, my hair was wet and a frizzy mess, my ankles were swollen, and my face was dripping sweat.  Literally.  Lovely.   I have never felt so hot, sweaty, or uncomfortable.  The dogs were all panting endlessly.  I couldn't wait to go home.  I just wanted to go home, get me out of this place!  And then....at midnight, Saturday, Mr. B. figured out the problem.  We got the air back on.  Within 15 minutes the dogs settled down and my sweat evaporated.  I decided to jump in the shower. 

  I had just stepped inside the shower, and the water stopped.  The shower no longer worked.  The nice shower flow turned into a dribble.  Mr. B. took his tools and a flashlight outside; again, but couldn't find or fix the problem.  This sweaty, stinky body had to wash under a little, teeny, tiny dribble of water.  Needless to say we woke up early the next morning, packed up and drove home.  RV problems currently getting fixed in my driveway at the yellow brick house while I watch from inside my air conditioned house.

This RV is not moving again until all systems are running properly!
