We wondered why in the world she didn't offer to help as a spotter. A short while later we saw him guide her to the showers: She was blind.<br /><br />They loved to be Out and About... and he'd learned how to back that thing in by himself!Nickie and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566506168550004304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-34534160804267055842012-05-27T20:39:10.188-04:002012-05-27T20:39:10.188-04:00Oops.

Than's why most of our travel pictures have the windshield in them. :cO<br /><br />Don't worry, we really (really) are going to slow down. After mid June, all our kids will be on the east coast so it'll only be north and south trips. We're actually planning on Jan & Feb in Key West at the Navy base. <br /><br />Marti always watches me back in, and I listen to her and her only, no matter how many others try to "help".

I know some women may be afraid or whatever but some don't even get out to help disconnect if they are driving a MH. Absolutely drives us nuts.<br /><br />Glad you have plans to travel a bit.

If you can't back into one without damage just choose another one. Wonder if he reported his error to the park or just let someone discover it. Good thought to always keep some fresh water in your tank. I've often wondered about leaving water in a fresh water tank if you don't use it often. No light gets too it but I"d think it would get funky.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.com
