First, I would like by starting out saying that RV dealerships lie and the they lie some more. When we first came to the conclusion that being full time Rvers was the best for Rich's career and to be minimalist, we knew we needed something that would be comfortable to live in all the time. After doing a lot of the research we decided that 5th wheels would be the best for being the most residential RV style. We fell in love with this RV right away and were told that this would be able to last us 3 weeks on its own without being plugged in anywhere. Also, we were told that everything in this unit was ready to be lived in the movement we left the lot....well this wasn't the case. The RV itself came with a 66 day warranty so they suggested for us to take a small trip to test things out before making the big/ temporary move to Nebraska. So after setting up the RV we went to Chatfield State Park for 3 nights. First off the water tanks lasted us 2 days, and the plumbing system of the RV was completely messed up(pretty awful and interesting experience on how we found that out). The state park itself was absolutely beautiful, and I'm thankful that it was our first stop.
So we made our trip back to the dealership and told them what had happened and 8 hours later we pick up the RV, and they said it's working great. I asked them about the water and they said 2-3days is normal( so the sleazy salesmen gave us false information). Our next stop was Lake Mcconaughy in Nebraska. Upon getting there we noticed that the black and grey tanks were full after leaving the dealership, so we went to check the valves and believe it or not it was still busted. Needless to say we are still dealing with the issue and will have to return to Denver (8 hr drive from Omaha) to fix the problem again.
Another few things I found out after the big move is that it is extremely difficult to have Internet and TV on a moving RV that has no fixed address. I will add all of this information on a later post:)
Now don't get me wrong here. So far my posts have been a bit negative but it's because there is a lot to take in and transition into to. But I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity and for being able to see the United States and spend this amazing experience with Rich and the pups!!
