Up this morning after a good night sleep. Last night I chatted with several of my friends…Dee…John Brown…Deb…and Molly. It was so nice getting back in touch with all them. We chatted for some time and then I just had to turn in. I did get to bed early enough to get plenty of sleep so I am ready for the day to begin. We have to work 4 days this week to make up for a shortfall in help. We have several people out working other stores…leaving us short here on the store set. We have many categories to set and with fewer people we get behind.
We had a great day and all went well.
I have had many folks ask me how I like the Motorhome compared to my 5th wheel. I had to stop and think this one out because I have never really compared the two since I got the MH. We have had all kinds of campers and believe me we have enjoyed them all. I have always said, “It is not what you go in that makes you happy…It is the fact that you go”. So that being said I had to ponder the question how does it compare.
1. The Motorhome is easier to drive and when you get to the park it is easier to back in if you have to.
2. Setting up…Well you still have to hook up the same things…but leveling the Motorhome has that one beat.
3. Unhooking and Hooking up… We have the towed so we still have some of that to do.
4. We find it easier to stay in a parking lot or Road Side park when in the MH because you don’t really have to get out and make your presence known. We can stay without putting out the slides or setting the jacks.
5. Traveling down the road we don’t have to stop for the potty…or Sherri doesn’t.
6. I have in flight meals served to me by my stewardess. A fill up on Coke or water when needed.
7. Sherri can do some of the driving which is a real help to me.
These are just a few of the things I compare to the 5th wheel. Don’t get me wrong we loved our Carriage and we both could not figure out why we traded it in other than Sherri could drive the MH and she could not drive the 5th wheel. I feel more comfortable driving the MH. We love it and will keep it for a long time. I just would like to be able to go to where I want to go and enjoy it. I know that will come…

Good to see you blogging more regularly.
Oh, I thought you traded for a MH so that you wouldn't have so many steps?
I, too, feel it is easier to back up a MH, and I like the ease of having lunch on the road.
Don't you find that you eat out less when traveling in a MH?
I also like that it is already cool/warm, and that I don't have to go outside to get to a hot/cold trailer.
It feels more secure to me, too, as I can turn the key and go if things don't feel right when I first get somewhere. Very often, I don't hook up right away.

Good talking to you last night Joe, I can hardly wait till we get to have a chin wag in person again. But I don't really want to wish you older so we will have to be satisfied with seeing you "somwhere in time"
You forgot that Sherri is no longer having to drive the car and follow you. So only one of you gets tired at a time.As far as leveling goes, it is all good until your automatic jacks quit. Then you can't go level manually like you can with the trailer. Our jack have currently given up the ghost, and we are unable to level. Working on the phone with Red Bay has been a big pain in the patute. But then you are a bit closer to just go and get stuff fixed. Much shorter than Florida......
I Love MH's just for all the reasons you listed... YES the 5th wheels do have more room inside and are really gorgeous but when you're traveling a lot the MH is just plain simple.
Have fun & Travel safe
