Last summer 3 American friends and I discovered that Quebec has a wine region – who knew? (Well, I suppose most Quebeckers knew. Duh.) Tonight is our first night boondocking (dry camping) at a winery. The owner of Vignoble Clos Ste-Croix is a very nice man, but gives lousy directions. I ended up with the RV in a very small gravel parking lot – that was a 17-point turn to get out of there. Eventually, we ended up parked in a grove of trees with vines all around – lovely. Except.
Except, the ground wasn’t level, and my rig doesn’t come with levellers. And LL (seasoned RVer) isn’t used to that, and RV fridges don’t work well if they aren’t level. Splendid. And then . . . . .
One slide-out got stuck. Nooooo!!!!!! This is not good. We kept bringing it in, and trying again, and eventually, it worked. (But will we be able to get it back in when we leave?) And then . . . .
None of the electrics worked. We turned on the generator, which sounded like it was running, but no power to charge our electronics, no lights, and worst of all, no AC. It was at least 26°. This can’t be happening. We texted the service department of Heidi’s but no reply.
We opened every window (including the door!), LL moved her bed down to the dining table, I slept horizontally across my bed against the window, and we had the worst night’s sleep imaginable.
Sigh.
