Update: we are now on the "shores" of "honey lake" (a dry lakebed) south of susanville, CA. we are heading toward death valley it seems, via reno and ?? i am using the rv boards under the tires for the second time. im up on the THIRD level.
Satellite dish, but no service
The rv came with a dish, and i assumed that we would subscribe to either dish or directv. i wanted directv, as they offer the nfl sunday ticket. soon found that both services require 2 year contracts just to start. our trip is going to last one year (at least at this point), so i decided to forego getting satellite service. at this point, i think it was the correct decision. everywhere we have been, we have pulled in several free channels, many in HD. its quite a change going from verizon FIOS to random channels, but i think its a change for the good.
Dumping the black/grey water holding tanks
Its much easier than i first feared. I had a myriad of problems with the valves that empty both tanks (they were leaking. the grey water valve required THREE fixes!) It hasnt been much of a problem at all to dump now that everything is fixed, and that was one of my big worries going in to this trip.
More work, but worth it
This lifestyle is certainly more work. whenever we move, its some work; not to mention the driving. i was driving down the road today though, just thinking: "we are really lucky." im glad to have a wife who was interested in testing out this sort of lifestyle. obviously, its a blessing to be able to see the country, and not have to worry about "working for the man". anyway, i think its important for me to remember these blessings even through the rough periods.
