Oooopps, a slight delay at Lazydays

This was supposed to be the day of the walkthrough of the Allegro Bus, but that didn't come about.  We called this morning to check the status of the walkthrough and the RV tech said he checked the rubber molding problem around the slides and said the slide toppers were brittle and dry rotting.  Big oooppss there.  He decided they all needed replacing before the coach would be ready and we would have to wait until Tuesday for them to make the toppers.  They have a facility here to make them and it was closed for the Memorial Day weekend.

Now we will be staying in their Fleetwood Southwind while we wait for our Allegro Bus to be ready.  We went in Friday and did all the financial paper work to transfer it to us.  It took a couple hours and we signed more paper work than when we sold our home a few years ago.  What used to be a simple process now entails signing about 15 different forms.  I'm not sure, but I think I gave away our daughter Cassie to Lazydays.  We will see how that goes.

It is very hot down here in the Tampa area and too uncomfortable to do much outside.  Even though we spend 5 months in Tucson, it isn't this hot while we are there.  We do plan on going to Tarpon Springs to see the docks and sponge stores.  They also have some great Greek restaurants there and I love Greek food.

 The Spanish moss is all over the place in this area of Florida and looks very nice.  I don't know how much trouble it is for the residents, but we do enjoy seeing it in the trees.  This section of the campground has a nice stand of the moss.

There are a number of new arrivals at the campground and most of them are families.  The park set up a bouncy slide with a water slide outside the pool area this morning.  They laid a large tarp down and then blew up the bouncy thing in about 5 minutes.  There were a number of children playing on the slide at different times during they day and it looked like a lot of fun.

Lazydays presents all new RV buyers with a basket of goodies like crackers, cookies, and things like that.  We knew this was a feature of Lazydays and today was our turn.  It is a real nice basket and they also gave us another gift bag with a beautiful compass included.  It was made of brass and looks to be very sturdy and will last us a long time.  Now, I have a GPS in the motorhome, a TOM TOM portable GPS, a Delorme GPS for the laptop computer, a nice compass and this latest compass.  No excuse to get lost for us now.
