Garfield and Alexandria

For the past week we have been moving into our new coach while also trying to learn how everything works.  The really hard part of the move is trying to figure out where to put everything as the drawers, cabinets and compartments are all so different from our old rig. John had to puzzle out how to load the storage compartments and I am trying to organize my kitchen.

But we are also struggling to learn how to run the control panel which  turns everything off and on and I mean EVERYTHING!  Not only is there a main panel, each ‘room’ has its own panel too.

There must be a hundred lights to turn off and on, day and night shades for all the windows, water systems, heating and A/C, power from solar to generator, floor heat, vent fans, and  TV. I have to relearn how to use the microwave & dishwasher, John has to relearn how to use the coach’s driving and computer system.

But it wasn’t all work.  We also checked out the museum in Alexandria and a winery and brewery. A Mendards trip was necessary several times and of course stocking up the frig and pantry.
