Once the purchase was complete we (nervously) drove her to Vero Beach and parked her in a local storage lot. We then began to educate ourselves about the many systems and equipment we needed to learn.
Such as:
There are these magic things called "slide outs". You just press a couple buttons and the bedroom and living room walls extend! WOW!
The side by side refrigerator/freezer that will run on both electricity and propane. It will automatically switch itself to propane if it senses electic is no longer connected. The two roof mounted air conditioner w/ heat pumps. The two propane furnaces in the "basement". Yes a basement! Actually there are storage doors beneath the living area where you can carry additional stuff...like your gas grill, tools, spare parts, lawn chairs and a table, etc. There is a 75 gallon fresh water tank, 45 gallon grey water tank (from shower and sinks) and a 35 gallon black water tank (guess from where). There is a correct (and sanitary way) to empty them. Also the automatic satellite dish. Just park the RV and press a button and it finds the DirecTV satellite! That's just a glimpse of a few.
Diana was amazed at the amount of storage space. Way more than the boat had. She also loves the combo washer/dryer.
I concentrated on learning about maintenence on all the mechanical stuff. Establishing schedules for what is needed when and figuring what, if any, I'm capable of performing (not much).
We quickly made the transition from spending "boat bucks" to spending "bus bucks". ;-)
