Day #195 – Camping World

Gatlinburg TN

Today we went on a big adventure to Camping World.  Kelly found a new gear box for the truck bed.  We investigated mattresses – the one that came with the new trailer is quickly breaking down.  We found a surge protector for the entire trailer – much easier than protecting each appliance individually.  I found a large variety of chemicals.

I’ve been researching the maintenance requirements for this new trailer.  Many cleaning jobs can be done with simple products.  And, many products will do double-duty for various uses.  But, there’s no way to get around cleaner and sealer for the rubber roof, and cleaner and conditioner for the slide mechanism.  We had the cart completely full by the time we’d been up and down every aisle.

In addition, we picked up some things that Don needed, mainly a pair of camp recliner chairs.  Most of it fit in the new gear box, but Don’s stuff was big and took up the whole extended cab.  I found a rig on the lot, waiting to be serviced, that was a “Care-a-Vann”.  Its owners RV from place to place, working on Habitat for Humanity builds.  I took down their names and phone number, in the hopes that we’ll start doing some volunteer work soon.

Don told us later that he loved his new chair.  He’d put chicken on the grill, fallen asleep in his new chair, and awoke some time later to the smell of burning chicken.
