hdrider Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 That's the way it was here in Palm Springs. We pulled our big slide in Saturday evening and put it back out yesterday evening. Another wind warning today until 8 tonight. Spent yesterday watching tv. Including that debacle last night. Travel safe everyone. Jeff Wasn't that a GREAT game!!

palamine Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Okay friends, listen up. This is by far the best Walmart overnighting ever. They have 8 sites by the automotive bays (closed at 6 pm) that are just for RV's and marked as such. No need to ask permission, just park. This is a long way from the front of the store and very very quiet. The store WiFi reaches here too.

soos Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 It was nasty in Mesa last night too. There was lots of rain and wind. Ick! Hopefully, that's behind us now and sunny skies are ahead. I really hate it that we can't watch the NFL games we want to. Dish convinced us yesterday to sign up for NFL RedZone to watch the Seahawks. We saw about 10% of the game as it switched back and forth to other games. We cancelled it just about as fast as we signed up for it. Of course, that was probably a game we didn't want to watch anyway.We get annoyed when we can't see the Pats, too. Sunday we went to the Elks- its 'bring your own snacks' NFL Day. athey show all the games. We sat in front of a big screen TV and were the only ones in the room! $1.75 beer- can't beat it! And yeah, it felt like winter here in Havasu the last two days. Should be better soon.

Onthego Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 We have Directv but don't do NFL Ticket. It's a bummer when last years Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos aren't on local tv where ever we are. We do have the NFL Network and an ESPN app to follow when we can't watch the Champs. LOL!!!

steved44 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 We made it out of the carpet shop and they did a fine job. Daniel Humphreys, in Golden, Mississippi owns RV solutions and used to work for Tiffin (the assembly plant) and now has his own business. He does carpets, residential fridges, windows and much more. He did our carpet in one day and it looks great. Now we are finished with the work we needed at the factory and are ready to head out of here next week. We have to rest up a couple of days to make up for the 5:30 AM mornings we had to endure during the repair process. Seems all of these Red Bay people start work at 6 or 7 am and this place is a ghost town by 3:00pm. We did spend two nights living in the paint booth too which was not all bad. We had a small hail storm come through and this is probably the first time I had the bus inside during a storm. It's nice to be able to come to a town that has all of the RV businesses that this place does. They have Bay Diesel too, so you can get your chassis and engine repairs or service done here too. They do have quite a few RV parks, so getting a place to stay was no problem. They do specialize in tiffin motor homes, but I've seen a number of others in here too. It was a little nippy here this morning, 28 degrees, so I was glad I turned the engine aux heat on last night. Sure makes that diesel fire right off on a crispy morning. Our good friends from Oklahoma are here too and they will be getting carpet from the same place on Monday. Now it's time for a little cranberry juice and relax for a while.

palamine Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 We loved Big Bend. We were pretty much alone the whole time at Cottonwood Campground. Lots of car campers . We had javelins in the cg every day and a bob cat on the last two. We had to leave a day early because there was no more sun and therefore no more solar power. No generators allowed anywhere in the park. But we loved it.

We had plans to go the Escapade in Tucson but now we have to go back early for my Dad. We have never been to an Escapade and I guess not this year either. Have fun.
