Art, Wine, and Wheels 2025

A bit late posting this as AW&W took place on May 24th.

However, Jan displayed and sold a number of her art pieces.

Summer 2025 RV Trip

We leave next Monday June 9 and return August 24 . . . 76 nights and 1,868 miles.

Especially looking forward to Lucky Lodge RV Park near Gold Beach, OR. This is our third visit and we’re staying for all of July. Huzzah!

Bedroom Slide Out Fixed

First, determining where to run the new wiring to the slide out. Then, the hard part: running or “pulling” the new wiring:

Many tediously made wire splices were involved . . .

At last, the moment of truth.

Lake McClure – Barrett Cove Campground 2025

Back to our favorite site K-6. This time in May instead of April . . .

Finally, our new-to-use drone overview of our site, the campground, and Lake McClure . . .

Finally, our continuing photos of Lake McClure lake levels . . .

Slideout Kludge

In our last RV outing in Fall 2024, our Living Room slide failed to extend/retract electrically, so we had to manually extend/retract this large slideout (see https://rvseniormoments.com/2024/11/16/powergear-slideout-repair/). A real PITA.

Now, while preparing for our Spring shakedown trip, our Bedroom slide out failed. Great.

Since we’re leaving in a few days, there was no time for extensive repairs . . . so kludge time . . .

In order to get to the Bedroom slide motor, we had to lift up the mattress platform. However, it can’t be raised while the Bedroom slide is closed. The platform is too long.

Solution: saw off 2 inches of the platform . . .

Minus two inches of mattress platform, the platform now can be lifted . . .

We also ran wire from the RV batteries to the bed. The wire gets rolled up when we’re not moving the slide . . . and the wire is fused for safety.
