Fill er up!

On our second day out, we had covered enough distance that we had to fill up with gas - twice.  As we are gas and not diesel, we need to use the regular pumps, not the trucker ones.  Most stations are just not laid out to easily get a 56 foot vehicle in and out and near to the pump!  First time we pulled in to one only to realize the gas tank is in the back (as we knew) but more to the drivers side.  We had pulled in on the passenger side so the hose wouldn't reach.  There was no way to maneuver around in that station, so we just pulled out and looked for another one.  Found one where you pull in parallel to to road and building (which is a definite plus).  Did you know that when you pay by credit card at the pump you are limited to $100?  Well three transactions (and $250+) later we are finally full.  At least now we know what to look for in a gas station layout so hopefully in the future it will be easier (on us, not the pocketbook).

We arrived at the second park in Port Orange, FL.  This is a back in spot, so something new for us to try.  We did great getting it positioned, but when we opened the door, it was over a bump in the ground and the stairs couldn't go all the way out.  We were able to easily get the RV door away from the bump and still be near the hookups.  Called Di's sister Marge and her husband to let them know we are in town.  They came over and we had drinks while they got the tour of the RV.  We will be spending the next few nights at their house.  Definitely will take advantage of the laundry there.

More to come once we are back on the road.
