Our Almost Vintage Coach and Her First Trip North



                                                                                      Bought our 1994 Winnebago Vectra in November 2010. We looked at many a coach before we choose ours. Looking for a coach with out slides became a challenge. She is a gasser on a Ford chassis. We haven't named her yet but we know our coach is a girl. After, replacing the refrig and furnace and top of the stove.and adding two new HD tv's. She was set and ready to roll. As this is our maiden trip with her, we took her to church and had her Blessed.
Jerry hooked up the dolly, loaded on the Escape. Jerry, Nancy and their three little dogs climbed on board and traveled north from Florida to Wisconsin.
Day one:
Our Garim ran out of power, oops the 12v plug socket on the dash doesn't work. Then, Nancy reads the map wrong so we took the two hour scenic route. Florida to Alabama to Georgia to Alabama, finally back on route.
We pulled into a Rv travel park about 5:30pm. I little place called Mr. D's RV Park. It was just pass Ozark Alabama. Nice clean park, has 50amp service, cable tv and all pull through sites.
Gayle the owner ran out to greet us and direct us to our site. She told us of places we could shop, visit in the area and recommend our nexted campground. After hooking up the coach to power, cable and sewer, Jerry talked with her for quite a while. They talked about nascar and how he used to drive stock cars but that is another story.
Jerry and Nancy plan to make a lot of memorys traveling with their Vectra
