I can't believe all the lighting on outside of RVs these days. Keep me up at night! We got one of those signs somewhere.

Camp Indiana had brochures out, but no human in sight. She was probably reading in her motel room. The Prevosts were being cleaned by heavily tattooed and pierced young people. The only person manning the Airstream area was the East Coast Sales Manager, just the fellow we wanted to speak with regarding some issues we have been having with our trailer.<br />Glad to read on an earlier post about David's myeloma staying in check.

Love the reader, but the book title seals the funny :-)) Everytime I see the super tall interior of those fifth wheels, all I can think of is cooling and heating all that wasted space - makes me even happier with our motorhome.

I wonder if there were two?<br /><br />We got a late start getting to the show, so we went back on Friday after the rain passed. It was kind of nice breaking it up in two days.<br /><br />Did you get any deal at the show for the MCD shades? I'm guessing you took your measurements with you? I knew you had put them in the bedroom but until I saw a picture of the living room, I didn't know you had put them all around. We replaced a broken shade in the bedroom with one, but wanted to make sure it would fit inside our valances before we bought any more. We love them and obviously you do too. It was nice seeing you both.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-14482476753587918582016-01-18T08:36:34.857-05:002016-01-18T08:36:34.857-05:00I'm intrigued by the entertainers.

I would think that would be difficult to do if one is moving around the show. So funny. The RV that Bill is in talking to the salesperson about fishing looks so roomy inside. Nice!
