First Trip in the Motorhome

First of all, wow, is that ever soooo much easier than the travel trailer.  Zero set up.  Parked and walked into the kitchen and started to make dinner.  Love.

We went to the closest provincial park and there were no open sites.  Eric talked to the ranger and he let us park at the boat launch.  Amazing.  We were right at the river.  The nicest section of the park and right where we used to camp before it was a park.  Pretty nice for our maiden trip.  Bonus, we saw Debbie and the girls as we drove in so we got a visit and Jia and Emily had a great play.  We went to their site, which although not a long walk it made for an exciting walk back in the dark.  Following Eric, sleeping Luk and the lantern.  The stuff that memories are made of.

The motorhome was comfy for all of us except Eric who slept on the couch that has metal support bars that he could feel.  We weren't set up for beds when we got back so we settled Luk into the bathtub!   He slept there all night.  Too cute.

Eric and I got up early on Saturday and worked all day getting housework done, cleaning the inside of the motorhome, sorting camping gear, shopping with a long list and finally moving in.  It was 7 pm before we headed out.   The unit is ready to go now so it can only get easier.

Eric drove us there but I drove us home today.  Easier than I was expecting.   I was much relieved about that.  I'm still scared at the idea of backing up, tight spots and ever needing to slam brakes.  Oh, and the old seat belt is horrific.  Going to need to do something about them for sure.  Think about Robin Williams in RV when he first gets in the big rolling turd and our seat belts are way worse ;)
