Moving Day Part 3

The repairs on the old motorhome are finally completed. We drove over to inspect the roof and it passed the "hose for ten minutes" test. We intended to move the old rig over to the Camping World free overnight area where the new rig is parked to start the process of moving everything over prior to putting the old one in storage for our son to pick up in May.

The repair shop then told us that it would not release the old motorhome until they were paid. The letter we got from the Insurance Company clearly stated that we pay the repair shop only the $500 deductible and the insurance Company will mail them the balance. Well, they were having nothing to do with that. They wanted the money or they were keeping the motorhome and the cheque could take a month to get to them. So... Out came the Visa Card again and the $4500 roof repair went on it. They solemnly promised to endorse the cheque when it comes in and to mail it to us in Canada. They better!

The new motorhome is bigger and has tons of basement storage which the old one did not have but we can't get everything to fit! We threw out a bunch of stuff and will send more home in the old motorhome. It probably did not help that Norma bought a new barbecue. It will take the place of the tables that used to ride in the back seat of the car that now have their own storage bin. The StarChoice dish will still have to ride in the passenger seat of the Honda.

Tonight we start moving clothing out of the old rig and into the new bedroom. That should be fun!!
