It was too dark last night to take some of the pictures I wanted to share in addition to the fact that I’d left the camera battery in the truck and I was too knackered to go and get it. \ud83d\ude42 BTW, it is DARK out there at night. John left me a flashlight. He thought of everything!<\/p>\n

First of all, some neat things about this RV.<\/p>\n

Notice the beautiful solid honey oak cabinetry like I have in my rig. It feels very natural to handle. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Next, notice the big drawer under the sink?<\/p>\n

\"Big<\/a>

Big drawer under the sink?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Nope.<\/a>

Nope. What a clever use of space!<\/p><\/div>\n

That is brilliant<\/em>! In case the picture isn’t clear, you have two little drawers on either side, a long narrow one in the middle, and the interior is cut open for the sink.<\/p>\n

Next, the shower, which is within a little tub. This was hanging in on the towel bar:<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

A chamois says so much. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

I know that that means! Dry the shower after use! I’m pretty sure this is common RV language that does not require words. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

There is no shower curtain, but rather one of those roller doors on a spring (like a window blind, only installed vertically):<\/p>\n

\"Challenging<\/a>

Challenging shower screen.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’d heard about them, but never used one. You need firm steady pressure to extend it. Do not let go or it will snap back! It then needs to be snapped into place at the other end of the bath.<\/p>\n

So I had my shower last night, lovely water pressure, hot water, all is wonderful, and I’m about to crawl into warm jammies and a comfy bed when…<\/p>\n

I realise I have no idea how to get the dang shower screen open again.<\/p>\n

Since it had snapped into place, I figured a firm pressure at the right place would dislodge it, but it took a minute to find the right place. I remembered to hold on tight to keep it from snapping back! Tonight will be easier. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I like the screen very much as it’s more water tight than a shower curtain, plus you don’t have to deal with the shower curtain flapping around you. I now get why a lot of RVers have upgraded to them.<\/p>\n

Finally about the RV:<\/p>\n

\"View<\/a>

View from my office.<\/p><\/div>\n

Now, some pictures for the curious ladies. Here’s that purse\/wallet I bought yesterday. The exterior weaving is gorgeous!<\/p>\n

\"Wallet\/purse<\/a>

Wallet\/purse opened up to show the pattern.<\/p><\/div>\n

The inside is a fine denim with lots of pockets. The only thing I don’t like is the Velcro and I will likely pick it all apart when I get home and replace it with a few snaps instead.<\/p>\n

\"Lots<\/a>

Lots and lots of pockets in it!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Closed<\/a>

Closed up in purse mode.<\/p><\/div>\n

My glass bead earrings were easier to photograph in daylight. I’m sure all the earring wearing ladies reading this would agree that I couldn’t possibly leave these behind, right?<\/p>\n

\"So<\/a>

So pretty!<\/p><\/div>\n

And here are my turquoise earrings, understated and unpolished and full of iron oxide and one has a chunk missing from it. I would have paid $4 anyway to support the community, so what’s an extra $6 for a souvenir that will ensure I’ll never forget driving the Turquoise Trail?<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The imperfections make them perfect.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
