Up and Down, In and Out

These are the motions we are having trouble with in the RV. Or should I say, WITH the RV vs. IN the RV. You see, first it was a broken jack system in July that caused problems with the up and down. And this week we smashed the stairs taking care of the in and out. The stairs smashing was a maneuvering problem, maneuvered right over a rock which hit the fold down stairs making them into a parallelogram vs. a square. I wasn’t going that fast but the weight of the 5th wheel gives lots of inertia and the rock had made its mind up not to move. Got a new set of stairs the same day at camping world and I had them installed by 5 PM that evening (Saved a few hundred as Camping World charges $110/hour for shop labor). We both will be a bit more careful in making unscheduled and unobserved turns in areas with large rocks. Now it will take Jet another month to get used to two stairs vs. three stairs. He was leaping all the stairs while they were broken and had no problem. I had no problem with it either. Portsmuth, NH is great little port on NH’s 18 miles of coastline. We liked it because it was unlike all tourists towns along the coast, so few t shirt shops and cheap gift shops, plenty of nice coffee houses, open areas and friendly people. It registered the top art gallery, top pizza, and top used book store for our trip. We almost didn’t go. Then we drove the coast south to New Hampshire Hamptons, North and regular Hampton that is. Beautiful old houses with great sea vistas.
