Today we spent 5 hours at the truck/ hitch store. Denny bought a 56 gallon gas tank. Our old one was 34 gallons. We will be able to go 500 miles with this one. He has been thinking about it for a few years now, but we had a couple of close calls this year, so he decided to do it. It is HUGE. We saw it when it was out of the box, but not installed yet. We got diesel on the way home and spent $150 and we still had 14 gallons in from before. Good thing for credit cards. We certainly don't carry that kind of cash around.
That's Denny's new toy for the truck. The new toy for the RV is for both of us. When we traveled before, we always had a bag of ice in the freezer. It is bulky and takes up a lot of room in our tiny freezer. This year we bought a small portable ice maker. I saw one at my cousin Christi's house when we moved her. WE LOVE IT. I bought a small container for the freezer. It takes up less space and is easy to stack things around. Wish we had bought one sooner. Even after 4 years we still are buying things to improve life on the road.
The little bucket on the top goes inside and that's what the ice drops down into.
Close up of the ice cubes. A little strange- looks like little bullets with holes in them. The container I bought for the freezer is just slightly larger.
For the maintenance part of this story, we had to buy 2 new batteries for the RV. As most of you know,Denny is always doing maintenance and discovered that one battery was almost dead and the other, very low. Off to the battery store we go. $250 later we have new batteries and we're good to go.
Always something to buy or fix
