Winter

Okay, enough of this super cold winter weather, now. It's all the way up to 7 right now. On the other hand, when I got up this morning, it was -19 in Kadoka, so maybe this isn't TOO bad.....

This RV remains a thorn in our frosty sides. We've discovered that they didn't bother with a silly thing like insulation in the fifth wheel extention in front--which is where the closet and 1/2 the bed are! Took my boxes of 'quilting stash' out the other day and discovered damp carpet and frosty walls near the floor! Boy did they see us coming, or what? Keith has already spent a week under the RV insulating the area under the fresh water tank and along the rest of the bottom--and installing a heat tape on the interior pipes. And have I mentioned the effect of extreme cold outdoors and heat indoors when the super-structure is made of aluminum? Aluminum transfers cold quite nicely--so all the walls radiate COLD! If only we hadn't paid the premium bucks for a 'supposed' 4-season rig.... *sigh* The mortgage is just now getting down to the 3-season prices, after 4 years!

That's this morning's rant. I've done it before, and I'll probably do it again..... Sorry. But we could have bought a decent house for what this thing cost us! All because it was supposed to be a 'top of the line' , year round 'home'. Yeah, year round in FLORIDA, maybe!
