Saturday's Project

Todays project was to install an Air Conditioner in the Aliner. It still seems like an odd place to put it but the factory puts it in the wall next to the door. I found one that vented upwards and was small enough to fit. Cutting a hole in the side was a little scary but it all worked out. It's not perfect but it is in and it works. Now we probably won't need it until next summer.

Labor Day

We went to Twin Rivers Landing in Lesterville, MO this weekend. It's on the Black River. We had a great weekend. The river was very cold and there were a lot of people floating, we just watched. The weather was good, the company was good and the new Aliner worked out just fine.

Monday Night

Tonight I put up a new shelf in the Aliner. Carol wanted a place to put a few things. We have seen several other Aliner owners do the same.

Saturday

Carol decided that we should sleep in the new camper last night to see if the bed was ok. I stayed out there for an hour and decided to go in. Carol spent the night in it and said she slept good.
We have a trip planned for next weekend so it will have to work. I wanted to install an A/C unit but I need a kit from the factory. I guess it isn't going to happen by next weekend.

Hopefully it won't be too hot.

1988 Aliner is gone!

The old 1988 Aliner has been sold. I put an ad on Craigslist and on the Aliner Club site last night. I can't believe how many people responded. I had several e-mails and several phone calls. This morning someone came and bought it. It's gone. That's good. I don't have room for one much less two.
Now I can work on the new one and find out why it's leaking so bad. I also put a new battery and a microwave in the new one today. I still have to put in an A/C unit. I'm not looking forward to cutting into this one. The old one didn't bother me to install an A/C unit. But I hate to mess this one up.

2004 Aliner

Yesterday we drove to Iowa and bought a 2004 Aliner DL. It is very nice, except! I had both open in my driveway last night in the rain. This morning the 1988 is very dry. The 2004 has a wet floor. Now I have to find that. Always something.

A last minute Camping Trip

Yesterday morning after seeing the forecast we decided to throw a few things together and go camping. We just went to a campground not too far from home. We had a good time, the weather was perfect and I even got in a bike ride.

GPS Units

I got an early birthday present. I got it before our trip to Oklahoma. I always like electronic gadgets.

I got a Garmin GPS unit.

It is about the coolest toy I ever got. It's unbelievable everything it can do. It talks to you, knows and displays every street in the USA. It can find every restaurant, hotel, gas station, store etc. and tell you how to get there with turn by turn directions. It has a MP3 player, picture viewer with slideshow and I'm still learning everything it can do.

Now I won't get lost going to work.
