05/11/19 - On 5/10, I got up a little earlier for some reason and since it was quite chilly, I decided that I would leave earlier and take a longer lunch since I could run the heater in the front. When I got ready to start the RV, it wouldn't start. I was so disappointed but called AAA to come and jump start me. I just had new batteries put in while in Florida so was not sure what the problem was. Anyway, it took quite a while to get everything together for AAA and he had to some from another little town so got there around 9:40 am. He put his jumper cables on the batteries and ran it for a little while to give it a jolt before I tried to start it. He told me to try and again, NOTHING. He then stated that we needed to try and eliminate things and his first question was "Are you in park?" I said "yes, my parking break is on". I then looked at my gear shift and I could not believe what I saw. I was in reverse all afternoon and all night and because of that my back up camera was also on during that time! I then went into neutral and it started right up. He then told me, he felt it probably had enough power to start if I had noticed the problem. I was so embarrassed but at 10:00 am I was finally on my way. The rest of the trip went well. I had a hard time finding a place for lunch since I was on small roads the way but finally at 1:30 pm did find a spot. Antony gave me excellent directions for my arrival at this house. He informed me that they were on a school trip and would not be home before I got there but there was a daughter and two of his other children that were home. When I got there at 4:00 pm. I took off the car and then waited for him to return since I did not know where he was going to put me.
They got home very late, we had a quick dinner and then we decided where I should be. It is very hilly here and so I ended up down below by the house. Our first try on leveling the RV ended with the plate coming off of one of the levelers so it took quite a while for us to fix that and then because of the hill, we had to built all kinds of layers of wood on the front but we finally got it leveled. Now, I am so high that I need a two step stool to even get in. Finally, hooked up and in the shower and to bed.
Today, I slept in late, have the little space heater runnning since I don't have everything set up to run the big heater but if I need to, I can run the propane furnace. I need to put some things away and clean up a little but plan to do very little otherwise. I just hope things dry up a little around here because there is mud all around me as of right now since it has been raining for several hours. Now, it is just very, very light rain.
