With lots of days of perfect weather, Chicago is a delight in the summer - this is our camping off season! The big city offers a plethora of interesting activities for all tastes - including the taste of Chicago food festival. We bike the lake front, go to the theater, golf and generally enjoy the summer ambiance surrounding the big city.
Rving is never far from our minds as we planned to replace the factory installed TVs in the rig. This is a challenge because we didn't want just big holes where the old ones once sat. There had to be new LCD models that would fit into the hole without alot of specialized carpentry. After some planning and measuring we found models that would fit the holes but how would they be mounted? It actually turned out to be easier than we thought and only minimal cost beyond the cost of the TVs themselves. Based on our experience, most of our listeners should be able to make the transition.
As always we talk about trends in the RVing world which is dominated by rising gas prices. It only cost us $250 to put in 52 gallons of diesel last week on our short trip to Elkhart, IN. Will be get used to spending 55 cents a mile? Ask us next year. This is the first anniversary of our purchase of the motorhome and we ask ourselves would we do it again?
