I Finally Drive the New Motorhome

Jim likes to drive the motorhome.  I like being the passenger.  But, I hadn't driven this new RV at all, and I figured it was time.  I would like to take an RV driving class sometime, but for now I just wanted to break the ice.  So, I got behind the wheel to see how it felt.  Wow - I didn't know we had power seat controls on this!  In the last motorhome I had to sit on a pillow, this one I could adjust just perfect.  And, the mirrors also have power controls.

Being a Class C means it feels more like a regular vehicle ... the front wheels are in front of you, not underneath you like in a Class A.  It all was perfectly comfortable, so we took off.  I planned on just going a couple of freeway exits then stop and give the reigns back to Jim.  But, I just kept on going.  I drove thru Cleveland with big city traffic and cloverleaf freeway exchanges.  Then, on the other side of town there was construction.  It seems like I always get construction when I'm driving!

Chris finally drives.  This rig is just as easy and much more comfortable than the last one.

Why do I always get the construction?! @#$@#

When I was driving on this narrow stretch of road with the concrete wall on one side, I felt the bigger size of this RV.  My hands were starting to slip on the steering wheel from sweating!  But, I made it and we pulled into Thousand Trails about 3:30.

This is the Thousand Trails that is east of Cleveland ... Kenisee Lakes.  If you ever go there, make sure to follow the directions in the book because a regular GPS will take you on a road with a low clearance bridge:

Once we pulled in, I lucked out and didn't need to back into a site since there was a pull-thru, 50Amp site available. Piece of Cake!
