Spring is in the air...Achoooo!

Trees are blooming.....the grass is green....allergies are crazy! Yeah! Its Spring!

Not too sure what to think about the weather at this point. It is cold at night in the 30's, we wake up to 50-60 degrees inside the RV, turn on the propane heater and its nice and cozy in no time. It's supposed to be 61 today. I spent the morning resealing the clear plastic on some of our windows to keep cold air out. Now I am opening any unsealed windows and the ceiling vents to cool it off. Personally I am definitely not looking forward to the hot temperatures of summer.

We will have our work cut out for us as the weather permits. Hubby BBQ'd this weekend and took an assessment of "to do's" on the outside. Looks like the previous owners drove thru a grove of trees or something. Lots of peeling and recaulking will be needed. We need to rescreen the front door, and maybe find replacement screens for the missing ones. We need to seal the roof with white flexible sealant because it is a solid sheet of stainless steel which is great because its in really great shape and last a long time. But it will definitely make things hot in here when the weather warms up.

We are going to have to find out where the water leak in the cargo hole is coming from. It looks like the electric water heater but we can't really see so we are going to have to find the leak. Can't afford to replace it right now so hopefully its a simple fix.


But anyone who knows me will tell you that before the temps get in the 70's, the first thing that will be checked will be the two air conditioners in the RV. I am not a nice person when I get too hot! Ok, get your head out of the gutter! I mean weather wise.

Owning and living in the RV isn't much different than living in a house, most of the same comforts, same problems, same spring cleaning and repairs. No rest for the hubby, poor thing.

Another great thing about the RV is that inside spring cleaning will be a snap!
