Riverview RV

This morning it was time to pack it up and move on up the road. After 3 nights and 2 days, it was time to head north. For those of you who haven't "camped" in a class A mortorhome, the drill goes like this:
Clean everything, put everything away, lock everything down so iy won't fly about the bus if I should happen to hit a bump.
Dump. Pull the drain valves for the "black" and "Gray" tanks.
Stow the "patio." Put away the lawn chairs and side table, sweep off and fold up the 9x12 mats, and stow them in "the basement"
Stow the awning. (loosen the side rails, hold the tube while flipping the release lever, gently feed in the lanyard while the tune and awning roll up. Secure the anti-blowout clips and put away the stick.)
Disconnect. Shut the vlaves. Disconnect the sewage hoase, wind it up, and stow it. Disconnect the fresh water hose and filter, wind it up, stop it somewhere else (we don't stow our water hose and our sewer hose in the same basement compartment!) disconnect roll up and stow the cable TV cable and electrical cord.
Finally, start the engine, bring in the slide, and dump the jacks.
Pull her out, and bring the jeep around for "mating"
Hook up the towbar,  safety cables, electrical cord, and breakaway cable.
Put the transfer case in neutral, turn on the braking system, turn off the brake light switch.

and finally do a full walk around, make sure nothing is hanging or falling off, everything is stowed, check the jeeps lights, pull the breakaway and make sure the compressor runs. check the air pressure in all 6 motorhome tires, 115 psi, end of discussion. Check em EVERY time. Blowouts are cuased by low pressure and blowouts suck. Oh yea, blowouts are someimes caused by curbs, but I'm getting better at that.

So, we motor on north on I25, an easy 120 mile run today. Did have to stop for gas, only needed a hundred and seventy dollars worth.

And here we are at Riverview RV. Site 40, end of the riverside row. This place is fantastic. Many RV parks pack em in so tight you can't breath. Many have next to no green, just gravel. This place has big sites. Grass, trees, nice. Very very nice. Here's some pics:
Riverview rv even had a dog excercise area, where we could let him loose and play some. Here's Riley platyingwith his new friend

And finally, business must be taken care of. This speaks for itself.
