Time to get ready to head south

It's hard to believe that we'll be on our way south in just 6 days from now.

We've sold our first tow car, a 2004 Ford Focus, with its Roadmaster tow gear and now have a 2008 Chevy HHR



We have switched to Blue Ox tow gear.

One weekend, we drove our car to Cleveland, Ohio to pick up the Blue Ox base plate for the HHR.  From Cleveland we drove to Hershey, PA to attend the largest RV show.  Interesting show!  It was Bev's first visit to Hershey so she enjoyed the view of the street lights shaped like Hershey Kisses!

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to visit the Hershey museum.  And, of course, we stopped to shop at Camping World in Bath, NY on our way home (too bad they don't have any stores in Canada).

The following weekend, with the help of our friend John, Vic installed the base plate on the HHR and then we headed up to the RV to do a test of towing the HHR with the RV.  All worked well.

Then came the installation of a hitch on the car for our bike rack, wiring of lights to work in conjunction with the RV lights, wiring for our Even Brake system.

Today was 20C here at home so we took a drive in the country in one of our Spitfires before winterizing it with additives to the gas tank for winter storage. 

Tomorrow we start packing our RV for our annual journey south.
