Its Getting Close to Going to The RGV

So far the weather long range forecast for the last day of the month is sunny. If this holds we will leave on the 31st and stay over one night about half way and arrive on the 1st. Its a 544 mile trip which is to far for me and this rv. Its nearly 9 hours by car but closer to 12 with the rv. We travel at 55-60 in lien of the 70 by car. We will make a fuel stop and spend the night before going on. With the Saturn Vue, we must stop at 7 hours and start the suv and let it run for 3 minutes to get oil back into the transfer case. If we don't do this, the warranty will be void to fix the tranny. plus I don't wont to drive that many hours.

I have gotten the software for the satellite dish to install it when we get there. Depending on where we park at Llano Grande, wifi may not be available. Last year wifi was not available on the east side. This is where I hope to park as its closer to the buildings where the happenings are. You will know where we are parked soon after I get the dish up and our GPS and physical location are known. This will be the last trip for the rv and us. When we get back to Fort Worth, we will put the rv up for sale in a consignment lot at Motor Home Specialists. This is the same place we originally bought the rv. Its been a good coach. We have had to make some repairs but nothing really out of line. The only thing possibly unusual is the emergency brake last year. Other than that, its been normal wear and tear. To make the coach a better sale vehicle, I will have new carpet installed. This will run about $1000-$1200. Everything works and the outside dings have been fixed.

Stay in touch for the latest happenings once we get there. Pics will be taken and hopefully we will have a good, trouble free trip down and back. See you later on the 2nd of November.
