RV Sold Today

Today was both a happy and sad day.....happy (and relieved) that we sold the RV.....sad to say good-bye to that chapter in our lives.

Debbie and Mark Uttley flew down from Windsor, Ontario yesterday, arriving last night about 8 p.m.  Even though it was dark, they wanted to at least see and go into the RV.

Debbie was nervous about buying something this big from the internet and had been worrying about things that I would have thought such as,  "What if we get there and it's not as the pictures showed?"   She said once she saw it, she slept like a baby.

Meanwhile, Mark lost sleep last night worrying about all the details and paperwork that had to be taken care of.  Buying an RV in the U.S. is complicated enough but taking it to another country entails unbelievable amounts of forms and papers.  

This morning they got a full tour and Mark drove it and checked some things.  He's a firefighter in Canada so is accustomed to driving large diesel firetrucks -- but you drive those FAST!  He'll soon get the hang of slowing down on curves and stopping gradually -- especially after things get slung around a few times.  Ed really got smoother on this as he drove but it took him a while.

We came back to the house to do paperwork.  Then Ed and Mark went over to the Homeowner's Office at one of the clubhouses.  They have a notary and will fax things for free.  Debbie and I joined them and I finally got to eat in the clubhouse restaurant.  We ate outside and it was perfect - sunny with a light breeze and about 80 degrees.

Turned out that Budget Rent-a-Car was right outside Savanna Club so returning their car was easy.  After a few pictures, they hit the road with plans to stop in Vero Beach for some fries from Five Guys Burgers and Fries (Ed's favorite place for fries EVER), then stay in Titusville at Willow Lakes RV Resort.

We say good-bye to our RV but enjoyed making new friends. We wish them well and hope they will experience many happy trails.
