It's Friday evening - hooray - the work week is over - and it's time to take our first camping trip of the season in our new/used camper!!
Glenn has to do templates for an upcoming granite job way down around LaVeta which is south - where it's much warmer than here in the mountains! So I 've cleaned the camper - packed it up and now it's ready for Glenn to load it on the back of the truck and fill it with water!
It loaded easily - always a plus! I went on into the house to make some pizza for dinner and Glenn came in a little while later with the news - water problems! Seems like we forgot to blow out the water lines last fall when we picked up the camper - darn..............
The damage wasn't bad - 2 broken pipes that we knew of and 2 flooded cupboards - luckily one was below the kitchen sink where I had a dishpan that seemed to catch most of it - and the other one was under the bathroom sink where of course I had most of the towels and linens! An easy enough clean-up!
Now the decision on what to do - if we took the camper, we wouldn't have any water so the decision was mine! Of course I chose to STILL go camping - since we always grill for dinner anyway, the dishes are minimum and the breakfast dishes could just be brought back to the house for washing!! I just packed another jug of water and we were good!
I KNEW there was a reason for doing a short camping trip prior to our 3 or 4 night upcoming Memorial Day camping trip! And this time it sure paid off! Put some new water lines on the list!
And we're off!
Well at least you did figure it out beforehand! Now you are set for the summer!
