January 14th

Not much to write about. On the 12th we purchased the largest convex auto mirror we could find, which was only 4-1/2" x 6". We taped it against the driver's window frame which allowed me to see any vehicle on the driver's side of the RV. In conjunction with our rear view camera they provided some warning of passing vehicles, even if only a second in advance. But it was enough to allow me to change lanes relatively safely.

Our repairs were completed Wednesday afternoon so we planned to leave the next day.. Originally we were going to spend several nights in Little Rock then proceed to Red Bay, AL, on Sunday. However, snow was expected early Saturday in Little Rock and Sunday in Red Bay. We drove the 300 miles to Little Rock Thursday, had dinner, then drove another 300 miles to Red Bay today. Never want to drive the RV in snow. Tomorrow night temperature will be down to 28 degrees with up to 3 inches of snow into Sunday morning. So much for going south to avoid the cold.

Monday we have an appointment to have a bed lift installed. Push a button and the foot of the bed lifts to get to the storage area beneath. The new mattress we got in October is 4 times heavier than our old one, making it more difficult to manually raise it.

Thursday we are having our dishwasher installed. More modifications and maintenance will happen over the next 2 weeks. 

Stay safe, wear your masks, and stay warm!
