Lunch to Celebrate the below !!!

We asked a couple people where the "nicest" Mexican restaurant was. I made sure I said the nicest. I said it doesn't have to be the best food, I wanted the nicest, and cleanest. ha ha. We were not disappointed.

They had a very nice salad bar, and a huge meme. With almost everything from brick fired Pizza to every cut of steak.

But we ended up paying for it. ha ha. We both had rather small lunches, and each had a fountain drink. It was $2 from being $60. Yikes, I don;t know how people do it ! ! !

Televator Problems !

WHAT A PAIN !!!!

This Motor Home has 4 TVs. The largest one is in the Living Room.

It is a 50" on a Televator. I goes up and down inside a cabinet.

There is another one on an adjacent wall near the Dinette that is not quite as big, then the two 32" are in the Bedroom, and the one built into the outside wall.

I removed the 2 reclining swivel gliders and took off the 3 panels of the front so I could work on it. But there was no way to repair it.

The Televator that lifts the large one up and down broke.

After researching the heck out of it, I was unable to get a replacement, or any parts. It appears that THOR that built the motor home made it themselves. It was really disheartening.

It took several days and MANY trips to Home Depot.

I ordered this residential TV Lift from Amazon and extend our stay in this park for now over a week so I could work on it.

The problem, was making everything fit, and sturdy enough to stay in place when traveling on rough bumpy roads. (Like in California!)

I made so many install attempts and had to keep backing them out and trying something different. because the spacing would not work.

I replaced the cheap off brand TV with a higher end Samsung Q-LED.

After a couple days of engineering, building, and rebuilding, I finally got it where I think it will be good.

Now to bolt down the chairs.

All done and back together.

Round Table Pizza

We had not been to one in MANY years. It was very nice and clean. They had a Salad Bar that was also very well stocked and clean.

Right next to the Soda Bar, there was some kind of Beer Station. I am not sure how it worked but there was a lot of choices for beer.

Stabilizer Installed

This is suppose to make handling better. I put in on in conjunction with setting the Front and Back SwayBars to the "STIFF" position.

The Stabilizer keeps the steering wheel straight. When you turn a corner, you can let go and the steering wheel swings back to straight pretty fast by itself.

It is attached to the frame on one side and the steering rack on the other, and holds the wheels straight.

Headed To California

Passing over the Colorado River.

Can you tell that we are in California.

I have not seen a VOR Staion for a long time.

We past several accidents, along the way. I was able to video this one.

Headed to the Mountain Vally RV Park

The park is on an Ari Stip, and you can go there in your RV and stay and get your Piolt License or take Glider Rides. It was very quiet except for then the planes were taking of and towing the Gliders up to altitude and lest them go.

Its funny. The Motor Home looks really nice in the picture but it is VERY dirty. It photographs good. ha ha

All in a settled. So I made some Veggie Tacos.

[thedigs]

New Garden Steak Burgers.

I have tried them all, and this one is pretty good.

New Next Door Neighbors.

Our neighbors have the same high end Motor Home as our friends Stephanie and Greg, are taking their kid out for a walk. 

It seems larger than the pictures make it look

Moving Day

We left Flagstaff and headed West. We were planning on going to Laughlin for a few days, but ended up stopping in Kingman because we wanted a nap. Ha ha. Then we have been extending here.

This is the "Time Laps" of moving day. You can see all the past months Time Lapses on our Live Camera page.

Max doesn't like travel days. He usually is in a panic.

Elk on the Road

They are everywhere up on the Rim.

You see them even headed to get some Mexican Food

We Moved to Village Camp RV Resort

The place is very nice and has a lot of Ammenities.

Carl and Lisa came up for the weekend and rented a cabin.

The pool is really cool. The chairs on the left are actually on in the pool on a ledge.

This was Movie on the Green Night.

A Tour of the RV Park we are in.

A bike ride around the park.

[thedigs]

We Biked to Another Park and Scouted out a New Site.

Biking up here is so pretty.

We like this one and moved to Aspen Campground.

We took this site. It has about the most room around it of any site in here. No close neighbors.

This is looking down into the site we decided on.

Lots of room for my Solar Farm

This is our view out the front windshield.

I used my new Anderson Levelers. They are so much nicer than the huge metal ones that I have been hauling around for about 15 years.

They are much lighter and give you up to 7" of lift. They came with really thick and sticky rubber pads so they don't slip. That was a big issue with the metal ones. As you drove forward to get up onto them, often they would just slip forward.

The Motor Home has a one button hydraulic Level System, but sometimes it has to raise the Motor Home so far that the wheels are off the ground and I don't like that. With these you get to almost level. then the jacks just have to do a little and are more for stabilizing.

I also have the Level Mate Pro System, which tells me how level we are down to .25 inch on each corner. I look at it on my phone when we are parking to make sure we start with the most level site we can get.

Meanwhile,,, Kim is making Heart wreaths out of Pine Cones. ha ha.

We Rode our Bikes to Woods Canyon Lake

It is so pretty. We have rented a boat there before, and once with Trudy and Ron Keller we walked around the whole lake.

We had no idea how big it was. It took hours, and 1/2 through it started really raining. Because we didn't think it was that far, Kim had sandels on and ended up with some major blisters.

There is a little country store there that rents the boats and other water stuff.

When you use the Bike Trail to get to the lake you come down pretty quick, so there are a few Switch Backs. But the view is great.

Max likes being out in the woods and Kim keeps thinking she is going to do some crafting with Pine Cones.

An Almost 8 Mile Bike Ride

This was the last Leg of our ride. It was filmed in Time Warp mode, The first one I made on different ride, I was in Time Lapse mode, so is didn't work out very well.

We keep getting visitors at our Camp Site where we have been dry camping.

Dry Camping: Camping in an RV with no hookups. Being self contained. No Electric, Water, or Sewer. (The Big 3)

But luckily we have a lot of those things built in. We have a 100 Gallon Fresh Water Tank, 3 Sewer Tanks, Lithium Batteries, and a pretty robust Mobile Solar Farm
