Introducing Smitanic 2

In late August, just a day before leaving for a scuba trip, the Smit’s attended the RV show at the Raleigh fairgrounds.  Theresa sported her Tiffin sports shirt to set the stage for wheeling and dealing on an upgrade.  Turns out the dream machine was there on display and drastically reduced for a sure sale.  Kevin gave the salesperson the parameters that needed to be met and after a few rounds, it had new owners!  It was not for another 3 weeks before the anticipated delivery was finalized and all contents were transferred from the 2006 Allegro Bus with 78K miles to the new 2016 AB with only 4100 miles.  The Jeep was left behind as it was awaiting the completion of the towing installation.

After the transfer, it was a mere 10 miles to a nearby campsite at Raleigh Oaks RV resort.  More stowing was completed and dinner prepared on the induction cooktop.  Yum.

The next day the new Smitanic reported to the service bay.  Kevin reported that he suspected a leak in the air brake system as he heard an all to familiar hissing noise coming from the front axel area.  The service dude, Dan, agreed the suspicion and determined the nearby Cummins dealer should take a look at it.

Several other cosmetic and minor issues were also logged so that parts and service could be ordered as well.

The Installation on the Jeep was complete so the RV was left for the pending service and with disappointment the two new RV owners headed bake home empty handed.

Texas,Texas and Texas

The first of 3 Texas destinations was Houston West RV Park, a long 332 mi drive for the day. Traffic was heavy with several slowdowns (some as long as 3-5 miles) due to accidents and construction areas which made the miles drag out and frustrated the Bus driver, Kevin, as he could not maintain his ideal speed nor cushion between vehicles. The obstacle avoidance sensors at speeds above 30 mph would sound a long high pitch as other vehicles squeezed in front of the Smitanic invading the established safety gap. On the drivers console a red light would show a bright red image of a vehicle until the proper gap, one vehicle (Smitanic size) was obtained. This gauge also displayed the gap distance in vehicle lengths which helped Kevin assess the ideal spacing. The back ups continued, as Theresa monitored any upcoming yellow or red zones on Google maps. Five miles before the exit for the campground there was another stoppage. Theresa found a alternative path on a Highway that para

Little Vineyard The days destination of Little Vineyard RV Resort in Deming, NM was plugged into the GPS at 8:30 AM for an earlier than normal start. The route for the day not only entailed exiting Texas but also entering into mountain time which made arrival 1 hour earlier at the destination. Only 4 days of driving remained for the Smitanic’s westward journey.  So during the day’s drive Theresa not only called the Deming park but also confirmed with the final Hemet, CA park, Golden Village Palms, to let them know the estimated arrival for Dec 2. The 344 miles seemed to float by with endless stretches of cacti and tumbleweeds lining the I10 corridor.  El Paso, TX was the largest city to navigate thru traffic as the highway paralleled the US Mexican border.  Yes, the Huge Border Wall was a clear visible divider of the two countries.  But mountains as well as the Rio Grande river were much more natural obstacles delineating the boundaries. The Little Vineyard RV park was little but
