RVing Accessories

While searching the internet for 50 amp adapters today, I came across some very interesting accessories when I entered the words "RV Camper" into the search engine.

For example, it seems there are entire albums of music dedicated to riding the road - two of them, anyway. "RV Songs - Life on the American Road" and "RV Songs: Bluegrass Hits the Road" were both immediately available. One of them (the bluegrass one) even had a three-star rating. I have no idea who rated it, or why they gave it three stars (three stars out of five? Ten?) but I was fascinated. Who knew there was music tailored to the RVing way of life? There are so many things I’m learning day by day.

I was also surprised that my search revealed no less than six different Bibles (most of which were in Spanish). That was a bit unsettling - why on earth would you need to pray so much on the road?

Refraining from buying RVing doodads on the internet for the time being seems like a good idea right now. Since I’m a neophyte, I think one of the local outfits would be the way to go. I can tell them what I think I need and for what purpose. That way I can be sure I’m getting the right thing. And if I play my cards right, they can also tell me about all the other things I may need but don’t yet know about. I figure I can make another list, call Casey and ask if all these things are included with the RV or if I’m going to have further monetary outlays I don’t know about yet.

I've tried to keep from buying all kinds of stuff for the trip, because who knows if I'll need any of it again. The double-sized airbed was a no-brainer, though. The way I see it, if you don't have a decent night's rest, nothing goes right. Yes, the airbed was an absolute necessity, and so were the sheets for the bed - and the waterproof fitted sheet to go over the whole thing. But other than that and the Brita filter water pitcher, I really haven't bought a whole lot specifically for the trip.

The dogs are all ready. Other than some kibble, their canned food is all set aside. And a couple cowpokes for the road (you may call them bully sticks, but we've always called them cowpokes. Get it? It's what a bull uses it for - a cow poke?) The rawhides are all ready, and the vet records, too. Winnie's travel bed is already downstairs, but I'll be sure to bring her memory foam bed and a few others along, too. One can never have too many dog beds. That's my way of thinking.

Tomorrow is one of the big days - it begins the one-month countdown, and the rent for the RV is due! A day for celebration!
