Hi all.
We are about 2 weeks away from taking our "shakedown" cruise in the '76
Eleganza! I'm having cosmetic work done and with the coach a fair distance
from me and work obligations keeping me way too busy, I haven't been able
to play around with the systems and learn what's what since I bought the
coach at the end of February.
I've been a faithful reader of the posts (although my eyes glaze over on
the really technical mechanical issues ;-) But until this purchase, we
used a pop-up camper with no bathroom, no generator and certainly no air
bags!
Is there a "checklist" of sorts that already exists to help newbies
remember what to do and when to do it? Like, once I find the sweet spot
for the night and put the coach in "park" what is the first/next thing to
do...followed by.....etc. Even if it is only a list of things in no
particular order to remember to do when setting up and breaking down.
Our first "trip" isn't going to be too far from home in case of
catastrophic failure of one sort or another. Then we plan to take day
trips on as many weekends as possible to keep shaking the bugs out before
summer when the kids and I hope to make the trek from NC to Michigan to
surprise my parents! :-)
The kids and I usually fly up to visit them but the kids get bored because
there isn't much to do where my parents live and my dad has been disabled
for years and can't sit comfortably in a car. That limits what we can do
when we get there and keeps my parents from being able to join us when we
head up to northern Michigan with my brother and his family for a week at
Elk lake.
So this year I hope to toss gramps in "Eugene" (yes, our coach is a guy!)
and he can rest on the bed while we drive to the places I have always
wanted to show the kids and Viola' - quality time with three generations!
