What a day!  Last night we stayed in an RV park. Got to shower and go to dinner, open up the slides and relax in style. Today we drove about 600 miles in order to get into Phoenix a day early. Tomorrow we only have about a five hour drive to get to our first week long stay. Who hoo!

Of course, the day would not be complete without another "RV adventure". This time it was our RV that developed an issue. After getting on the road this morning, maybe 15 minutes into the drive, one of our side doors that hold our electrical systems opened up while we were going about 65 mph. We pulled over, re-latched it and got going. Five minutes later, once more it opened. We pulled over another time to re-latch it once again.  By this time, Julie and Vaughan are about four miles ahead of us. Once more on the road and yes, it opened again.  By this time Julie and Vaughan realized that we needed to stop and figure out a permanent fix so we could keep driving.  We latched the door one more time and drove very slowly down the highway to hook up with Julie and Vaughan.

Thanks to Vaughan we took about 30 minutes to get it figured out and repaired permanently. As I said in an earlier post, it is great to travel with our good friends.  There is nothing that I have found that Vaughan can not figure out and fix.  The door is fixed for good and will give us no problems for the rest of the time we own this RV!!  Thanks Vaughan!

We are now in the New Mexico welcome center off hiway 10, just 20 miles from Arizona. Tomorrow we arrive in Phoenix and start our vacation for real. Yippee!!

P.s.  we woke this morning to 39 degree weather!  In Abilene Texas. It's warmed up a bit, but you should see my Facebook page, there is a pic of Linda bundled up IN THE RV this morning!   Gloves, earmuffs, muffler, and heavy coat!  I thought this was a summer vacation. :):)
