My last day in Asheville is the most uncomfortable to me yet. At least it seems to be the coldest but that is no doubt because of the wind blowing. The heat, set at about 50, kept recycling on and off throughout the night although the outside temp this morning was a balmy 40F!
I took care of the remaining few chores before leaving tomorrow morning - both tanks of propane were empty, and one of them emptied out during the night with the furnace running so often. I fueled up and hopefully I can drive straight through without needing to get fuel - I'd rather do that after I unhitch. I understand that sunset is somewhere around 5:15 pm in Savannah, and since I have to back into the site I need to get there so as to give me plenty of daylight to get the job done. I backed the truck up to the hitch and it looks to be in a good position to hitch without difficulty. I had thought I would do that this evening but will wait until morning, unless I get a sudden urge this evening to go take care of it. I am waffling about it because I'm not sure if I should pull in the slides while doing the actual hitching up process, and then put them back out for tonight. I really doubt that it matters a whole lot.
When I came back to the park after getting fuel I noticed a rig going the wrong way into a pull through site, and thought to myself he was going to find the connections on the wrong side of his 5ver. Now I see that he is parked door to door with a brand new Jayco Eagle, and is undoubtedly transferring his possessions from the old Wildcat to the new Eagle. I wonder if I'll ever be able to do that, although it isn't really all that important to me in the grand scheme of things.
This program will be brought to you from sunny Savannah tomorrow, if I can get a connection. Until then - so long and stay well.

Have a safe trip, Gypsy! I'm not sure I'd want to hitch up the 5'er with the slides out though - it's not a recommended procedure. When you backup and hitch, there is some movement and although it's not likely, it still could, cause some problems.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to read your impressions of Savannah when you get settled and have some time. Hope your journey was a safe one and that all went smooth.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a safe trip and hopefully warmer weather. Good luck with hitching and unhitching. Glad it's you and not me :-)it would terrify me. You are very adventurous.
