Today is technically Day #5, of the RV show. But we weren't able to go in, as today is moving day.
This morning we woke up to the thump the RV makes, when the electric is shut off, at 7:30 a.m. IT was supposed to be on till noon. Not the Wake Up Call we wanted.
We got up to see what was going on. Not sure why but it was off.
Jim eventually got the generator going. We got the coffee and breakfast going. Packed up a few more things for travel.
Then we had a lovely surprise visit from Lawrence. From the Brazen Brits.
So nice for him to stop and say hi. We were very touched that he did that. He was picking up a love seat from Chad and Sabrina to put in his RV as they were getting new furniture too. His Dad made the road trip with him. So sweet. I went over to say hi to him again.
Site 881 Southern Palms
Our spot at RV show.
Didn't realize I had our two different spots in the collage.
So hard to say goodbye to everyone. As people started to leave we got ready and pulled out about 10:00 10:30.
We were heading to Southern Palms in Eustis Florida. Pretty short travel day, it was only about a 2-hour Drive. We arrived about 12:30. We new our site number was going to be 881. So we called them when we were about 10 minutes out.
Pulled up next to the site and waited for our parking attendant and his little rope they use here.
Then he said we wouldn't fit in the site. They had nothing else for us. As we are Thousand Trails members, we get the bottom of the barrel. There was a couple different Rallies going on here so it was going to be full.
He's telling us 50 some coming in today and 140 tomorrow. Not really our problem cuz we had reservations, we even made a pre arrival phone call to make sure. Per there recommendation a few days ago.
Anyway said he'd give us a try, so we tried to back in. Guy behind us came out he couldn't believe how they were trying to squish us in, although he was being very nice. He said Jim and I look familiar. I said we can figure it out from where later. We thanked them for being so nice about everything. But he didn't mind as we slowly were encroaching on his site.
Then our guy said he had to call in the big guns, and some other dude came over. Not much help, they were guiding Jim, based on how far they thought our slides came out.
He Didn't want to listen to me or Jim that we didn't need to be over as far as they thought.
The guy crossed the road was complaining quite loudly about their process, and where they were putting us to get in.
Everyone else was very nice and we eventually squished in.
I got some food out, we had lunch did minimal setup. The truck ends up being right where are outdoor living space should be.
Later we saw this posted.
Robert and Julia Barclay were lovely people too.
Almost didn't get in, Now voted Best in Show.
We saw that he tagged us in Facebook post, because he wanted us to see this listed.
Well this just got interesting. It appears like almost everything we wanted, but the colors, needs new paint.
Okay now we're finally squished in our site and Jim plugs into electric.
I told him the surge protector was reading faulty ground.
He had the volt meter out, tried the 50 and 30 amp even the 20.
He felt like there was something wrong with the new box. It was brand new, only used one time before us. And they probably didn't have a surge protector. So I had to call and they said they'd send the electrician over. Oh geez
He had to rewire it.
Didn't do much else the rest of the night.
Kept thinking about the blue boys above.
I had leftover Thanksgiving food, I had gotten out of the freezer for dinner. We talked about the possibility of an HDT in our future.
