Heading Home

Tuesday, we got up early and drove to the factory at Red Bay. We wanted to get some parts that Sherman RV did not stock, and we wanted to find out what kind of wood stain that they used on our wood, so we can add some items to the Bus. We also wanted to shop at the RV store at the Allegro Campground. We also took the time to go by Bob Tiffin’s office and told him how pleased we were with the Bus. We found only a couple of things that needed to be fixed, and I could have fixed them at home. While enroute, I called Mike, the Diamond Shield installer and told him that we had a spot that was coming loose on the front of the Bus. He agreed to drive to Sherman after he got his crews started at 2:30PM at the Belmont factory, and fix the spot. That gave us plenty of time to complete what we wanted to do at Red Bay, and drive back to Sherman. We got back to Sherman early enough to take the Bus out for a drive………. Our first!! It seemed to drive and ride quite well, and we were happy.


Tuesday night, we ate out at Vanelli’s Italian Restaurant in Tupelo. We found it to be good, but not as good as Olive Garden!! We woke up Wednesday morning, and did a couple loads of wash to check the machine on water pump pressure………. And it was a good thing. It did not work at first, but I found the valves partly closed, and the switches did not see enough pressure. After I opened the valves, it worked just fine.


When Sherman RV opened at 8:30AM, we picked up our temporary license plate, got some parts that I asked the Service Manager, Benny Johnson, to put together for me. We then hooked up the Honda, said our goodbyes, and headed for Little Rock to show Deanne the new Bus. On the way, we stopped at a Flying ‘J’, and filled up the fuel tank (only took 10 gallons because Sherman filled it up). I also dumped the waste water tanks for the first time………. It was nice and easy.

We got to Little Rock about 2:00PM, and had lunch with Deanne in the Bus. We then left, and drove about 60% of the way to Lake Charles. We spent the night on a Wal-Mart parking lot in Ruston, LA.

Here is Patsy sitting in her new passenger seat. The first picture actually shows the seat foot rest, and the second is her 'normal' set up!
