Checked on my baby
#1

We flew back to AZ for my brother in laws funeral this past week and returned to our new home in Ozark yesterday. We are keeping the coach in Gilbert AZ under a covered and powered storage facility since the humidity is low. Over the course of the week, we stopped in to check on it and spend some time unwinding. Coach looks great. Started right up after a 5 month slumber. Over the course of its stay, the Victron would report a shore power loss. The facility would plug it back in when I called them. I believe the issue was my dog grooming neighbor would knock the plug out of the socket when they plugged their vans in. I tie wired a support in to help combat my cord coming out. At first I thought it was a malicious thing but when I saw the 20 something year old girl drop off the van at the end of the day, I just realized they were careless. Either way, I really enjoyed being back on the coach. we do miss it but have no where to park it on our property until a building goes up. Our HOA does not allow visible boats and toys left out. We have a small 24x30 shop but it is surrounded by a septic system so I cannot expand the building where it sits. No funds to build a new one further back on the 3 acres for now.

I was surprised to see how clean the coach was and that it still had a new smell on the interior. Despite keeping the waste tank clean and sanitized, I still expected to detect a musty cabin odor, but nothing of the sort. 


While we were away, the window company installed new windows on the house. Took 6 weeks to get them in from order date.

It’s always nice to go and check in on them. I need to do this with my Wanderlodge. It has been neglected since acquiring the Newell.
