Welcoming the New Year

New Years 2020 

 We spent New Year's at Lazy Day RV Park in Seffner, FL.  We waited too long to make reservations for the holiday so we decided to go to Lazy Days since they had room.  Good thing we made reservations, because by the time we arrived, they were basically sold out - nothing for the 2 days at the same site

And a good choice it was for a few reasons - to follow

First Reason -  We were in dire need of a wash and wax.  I can wash the motor home, but I did not want to undertake the waxing part and there is no way I can get to the roof. It is way too high on the ladder for me!  We had a 11:00 appointment with Sun Dial, the detailer, whose located on Lazy Day's lot.  We arrived about 10:30 and they took her right in and got started. The company used to wash roofs on sites in the RV Park but a new law says that if they are going on the roof, the detailer must be tethered. 

They did a great job spiffing her up!

 

After we dropped her off, they gave us a ride to the campground, we checked in and rented a golf cart and were all set.  We  had a yummy breakfast at Cracker Barrel and even set in on a RV Beginner class while we waited and learned a few things.  There is always something to learn about RVing!

Second Reason - We camped with our regular camping buddies who got a flat tire on the inside rear on the way up. Since he had no space and it was on the inside, he drove the rest of the way to the the campground.  Once he got set up, we drove him over to the service area at Lazy Days and he was able to make an appointment for he morning he was checking to get a new tire installed.

Reason Three - We ran into a problem with our awning.  It would not retract.  There were winds on our first night there and when Big Bob tried to close the awning, nothing happened.  He suspected it was the end cap was stripped out since it had happened a year ago to the other one.  He called Lazy Days service and a crew was there by 9:00 the next morning. They thought they had one in stock, but not luck, so they replaced the awning motor assembly.  The new motor is updated so it is stronger which will prevent the end caps from stripping out again and it's works great and is a quieter too!

But all the small issues did not keep us from having a great time.  It was fun having the golf cart  through the campground and Lazy Day's lots to look at all the different RV's.

Of course, being southern, we had the typical New Year's Day Feast:  pork, collards, black eye peas, corn bread and rice (which I forgot to bring to the table and later found in the refrigerator - I had made it earlier). Yummy Yummy!

Another great trip with our friends celebrating another New Year.  We are blessed!  Looking forward to a great year of good health and lots of travel!
