Getting Started with Cindy
So we are now the proud owners of a 2003 Travel Supreme.....ok so that is just the beginning of what you need to hit the road, now the spending really begins. First we needed a tow vehicle, enter Jeep Wrangler.
Then we need:
dishes
towels
sheets
a better bed
ladders, buckets
hoses, sewer hoses
sewer hose containers
gloves
pots and pans
silverware
food
soap
You get the picture.
The list grew and we hadn't even made it out of the storage unit. We bought a lot that we needed and even more that we still haven't ever used.
A few of the things that I am really glad we bought: we bought soap holders that are glued to the wall of the shower. You can add shampoo, body soap (his and hers), and conditioner so that you don't have to worry about bottles flying around or having to be stored every time you move. Great space saver and time saver.
We bought a nice paper towel holder in the kitchen that is attached to the bottom of our cabinet. We upgraded the TV from the old original to a 46 inch Samsung. We added a Bose speaker to the new TV. We bought bins to organize the basement. We bought a $25 storage cube at Target that works as a foot rest and a place to store (hide) all of the dogs toys and supplies.
So now we had filled the unit from front to back, top to bottom with everything we thought we might need, so time to take it camping. We decided to stay really close to home for the first trip since we were still trying to figure out what all of the buttons were for and how everything really worked. One of the worst parts of our purchase was that Travel Supreme did not supply owner’s manuals and the previous owner had not collected anything to pass on to us, so we were learning from trial and error.
Lucky for us I had found that Lazy Days in Tampa offered a campground at their facility where you could stay while enjoying all of the free classes they offer. The classes did have a sales pitch to them but they were free and loaded with information such as the electrical systems, the grey and black tanks, modifications to the RV, and my favorite which was where they took us out in a class A RV and taught us how to park, negotiate corners, and learn our blind spots.
This RV Education and Training class was a game changer and I recommend it to any RV'er who would like to improve their driving skills.
