2.) when we went to put more gas in, we couldn't figure out where it was supposed to go. finally I smelled the place we were thinking of putting it, and after confirming it smelled like gasoline, we put it in there. (at least we were right)
3.) I was thinking I could just go to Lowe's, buy some kind of long extension cord, and plug the RV in. nope. wrong. completely wrong. turns out, we need a very high amp extension cord (higher than what they sell at Lowe's), and a special circuit put in where we can plug it in to. probably people who have never owned or considered owning an RV in their life would have at least known that a regular extension cord was not going to work--but me and Cameron, noooooo. no idea.
4.) despite the fact that Cameron owns a house, neither of us have ever really done any home improvement/building/fixing type stuff, so our plans to fix up the inside of the RV may be a little...ambitious.
5.) both of us barely understand how our cars that we've had for years work, much less a more foreign and complex vehicle like an RV.
6.) we have no idea how and where to empty the thing that holds the water/bathroom stuff/etc.
so that's all a little scary. but you know what? it's okay. because we are going to make this work. Also we have awesome friends like Joe :
And Olivia:
...who are good at/knowledgeable about the things we need help with. Joe has promised to make (!) us an extension cord that works, and put in a circuit so someday, we can actually have *electricity* in our RV. and Olivia has offered to help us with the carpeting, as well as check the bathroom floor from water damage and act accordingly from there. and maybe even help us with the painting, which is next on the agenda....hopefully we'll get to some of that stuff tomorrow!
