Where were you with your Marathon Coach today?

[sheridany]

That’s a loooong drive to get the coach from storage

It’s temporary as I look for a more permanent home closer to me.

I wonder how costs compare to just storing in a campground? I left mine in Palm Creek when I flew back home for my mother's birthday and to get Elli from the breeder. I see this quite often.

That’s fine if it’s temporary. It’s just me but I won’t leave my coach outside when I am not using it for an extended period. Their pricing is in the range of 10+ a foot plugged into 50 amp power. No one is going to watch your coach at a camp ground if there’s a power failure for an extended period even with auto gen start and it’s not trivial to find a 24 volt jump start for a bus. Usually only found some big rig wreckers.

For some reason I was thinking you were on a trip and that yacht was sailing. I get it now, like mine, it's in storage. Hope you can get sailing soon, still not sure when I'm getting out of harbor.

Great harvest host location. Trucks parked around me and I ran the gen all night. Great location and food and easy on-off the interstate. Cellular internet really good.

Very nice and quiet owner park. Every lot has a house. These are the guest spots as we are visiting friends for a couple of days. Great place to walk for exercise.

One of the better overnight stops along Interstate 5 in CA. Great restaurant on site known for good steak dinner. Good lunch at the express bbq near the fuel station. Lots of coaches and trucks in gravel lot. If you don’t mind generator noise it can’t be beat.

When I grow up, I wanna be just like you, Sheridany.

Uh sorry. Nothing there. I am just a lowly bus driver. Now a man like you that can do just about anything is the real deal. Can’t wait to see that mountaintop runway you are putting in for @Neal.

Red Bluff, CA
Day 2 of the trip back to the mothership in Coburg. This used to be called Durango but sold out to KOA. For a KOA, this is very nice. Adjacent to the Sacramento River which has a walking path. Hope to get some steps in. Rumor has it that this park was a lot nicer before they sold where they had a spa and some other nice amenities that have been phased out. Our RVF California experts @J&JD probably can tell you more about before and now. Now the front is covered in bugs so this bus driver will be spending the next hour getting those bugs off.

I thought a Prevost would come with an automatic debugger. Guess I won’t get one

I cut my typical drive time short today as I could have easily made it to the final stop. I have always wanted to see this park and I don’t have the toad as the DW went home after being gone for 3 months. It’s a big place right off I 5 with a fuel stop, a casino, an rv park etc. Getting into the spaces was tight but they escort you to the pad and help navigate getting on to the pad. I have more bugs to clean again but here’s a tip. Keep distilled water in a sprayer bottle. Put the bug spray on and rinse with distilled. Just like DI water no drying with a towel needed. Off to clean the windshield and front cap.

Nicer but tighter than Durango but we like them both for different reasons. All good for a big beautiful machine such as yours. Better than where we are tonight….Carlock illinois.
