Also we had Lisa's Photo  shoot!!!



Now if she could just make lots of cash!!!
The drug company that made her experimental MS drug asked her to be a spokesperson of sorts, she spoke at a convention of doctors, nurses and others in Boston when the drug got final FDA approval. They sent a film crew from Paris to take photos of Lisa in he everyday life.

Now back to the Prep:

So we had some repairs and added a few new items to make the trip and our stay at our ranch in Rimrock Meadows a little better.

First up repairs:

New chassis battery and two new 6 volt coach batteries, new starter. Maggie as our RV is now named after Margret Thatcher the Iron Lady of the UK, was having issues starting when we were in Baltimore at Christmas. I added the new chassis battery thinking that would fix it, nope did not. So it must me the starter replaced that, nope not that well maybe I put the starter in wrong( so to prove to myself I had to remove and realign and reinstall the thing like 20 times) nope starter good. Oh hell no what!!! Thank you You-Tube and Eric the Car Guy!!! It was a loose ground strap. New spark plug and spark plug wires with high temp booties, transmission cooling fan and other minor things. Now Maggie is all fixed!!


Improvements:




2200 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter – more power and better usage of our battery power







New Camping Stove.











Remote Tire Pressure Sensors and Monitor



Tow bar and tow chains.



Our DuroMax Propane Generator (Had no room to bring it last year)



RVbrake2 -- braking system for tow vehicle



Break-away system

Ok enough for now next up Part I of the trip.
