Well. Hunh. Quite the morning. The drive up here was great. Signed some papers, then set off for a tour of my rig from the service team at Heidi’s. Very nice lady named Michelle did our walk through, which turned out not to be quite what I’d expected. I think she was what you might call an RV generalist: travelling & living in her RV several months of the year. But not necessarily an expert on my Sunseeker. Any of the more technical questions I asked, she had to go to a mechanic working nearby to answer. So she seemed to focus more on: ‘here’s where you switch your water heater from electric to gas’; ‘here’s the switch for the awning’; etc . . . And yes, I did need to know all that (slide outs in particular have their own set of rules), but I also needed to know: when do I switch from electric to gas?; when I leave the dog alone in the rig in a parking lot while I go shopping, how does the generator impact the A/C?; where is my solar monitor and how do I interpret it? (And those are just the tip of the iceberg.) To be fair to Michelle, it may not have helped that my chauffeur would interject occasionally, or that I usually need new concepts explained at least twice (I’m fairly intelligent, just not always intuitive).
So I bid farewell to my friend, said thank you to Michelle, drove off the lot, checked in at the park next door, drove to my site, and parked.
And realised I haven’t a fecking clue how half of this stuff works.
Sigh.
