DAY 1 & 2

DAY 1

Well everything went smoothly for picking up the new 5th Wheel. The paperwork went smooth, the insurance was done quickly & the walk around was quick and painless.... We probably would have stayed even longer and asked more questions, but 3/4 through our youngest daughter called us to tell us she had been in a car accident. Being that we were about 45 mins away, we cut things short and headed for home.

Once home we quickly (well as quick as possible) got our new unit in the side yard and headed to the hospital. Our daughter was fine, we were home a few hours later.  We leveled the unit as best as we could considering the slope of our yard, and got the slides out. We spent the rest of the evening sitting in it with a pen and paper making a list of what we needed for each room. After a few hours of that, we locked everything up and went inside the house to bed.

DAY 2

7am.... up and hitting the shower. Grab a bite to eat and get ready to start the day.  Off to the stores to pick up a few things that we don't already have. We've been keeping our eyes out for things for a few weeks now, and we were amazed at how much stuff we were able to pick up at our local DOLLARAMA. Heres a few things that you can save a bunch of money on:
hangers - we got the ones that are wrapped in velvet so our clothes don't fall of the hangers while the unit is moving.
hangers for pants - also covered in velvet so our dress pants don't fall on the floor 
wooden spoons
tongs
rolls of anti slip to put in the bottom of the drawers
dishsoap - comes in small containers

then off to our local Wal-Mart for a few more RV items. Our selection is small but we found a few things that we needed. Ended up walking out of Wal-Mart with new dishes - Corelle so they don't break - a smaller coffee pot, cutting boards and a toilet brush and some bath towels. Our local Canadian Tire was our next destination. A few more RV parts - a dish drainer set that fits in the sink perfectly - and some cookie sheets and baking pans that actually fit my oven   :) we were ready to head back home.

Once back home the fun began. While my husband (Puff) was outside doing some looking around the outside of the unit, and inspecting everything in the "basement" I was inside washing dishes and packing things from the house to the unit. Numerous trips later (I honestly have no idea) I have my closet & dresser emptied and moved in.  Started on Puffs stuff, but we ran out of hangers again!! Since I bought every single one today.... I think I am going to have to try to find another location that has them. (ROAD TRIP!!!)

Back to work tomorrow.... and moving stuff out there for the rest of this week and by Sunday we will be ready for the big move!!! Lots to do this week!!!

Till next time
