Motorhome Wash & Sightseeing

IMG_3826The local RV Park wash guys did a good job at getting the sea salt off the coach.

IMG_1620We drove south of Tucson to the town of Tubac and checked out some of the art shops. Very cool town.

IMG_3831Outside of town is the Tumacácori National Historical Park, Cody was not allowed in so we just checked out the grounds that we could and then watched the video on the National Park Service website - https://www.nps.gov/tuma/index.htm

IMG_3828I love that they have a program to monitor the Monarch butterflies. I have to say, I only seen 1 Monarch last year, not good! - https://www.monarchwatch.org

IMG_1623Darrel snapped this awesome looking cactus on the Anza Trailhead.

IMG_3832Next stop, fresh made-to-order chips and salsa - the wait was well worth it at Wisdom's Cafe - https://www.wisdomscafe.com

IMG_3837Another Border Security checkpoint cleared as we travel north back to Tucson. We were very close to the Mexican border.

Belmont Service - Fowler Detailing

Fowler Detailing:

  • Wash and Wax
  • Headlight Restoration
  • Rim Restoration
  • Roof Seal

If in Red Bay, I highly recommend Fowler Detailing as they went above and beyond and were flexible with our dates as the weather created some challenges. April also owns a business called Happy Hosts that is a concierge service that will book all your appointments with the Red Bay vendors. April has a direct connection to all the amazing service providers in the area and I also highly recommend using her Happy Host concierge service. Easy peasy!

Belmont Service - Davidson RB

IMG_3242Arrived at Davidson RV and pulled into the bay on the far left for the AquaHot inspection.

  • General RV Maintenance and Repairs
  • AquaHot Service

Davidson RV needed to keep our coach over night so we found a close by Bed & Breakfast just down the street. It was the only place to stay with short notice and the family was so kind and helped us out. I just wish the houses in the South had better heating! Oh well, we were thankful we had a roof over our heads and a hot shower. In the morning, we had breakfast at the innkeeper's restaurant and the home made biscuits for the breakfast sandwich was amazing. We have been back a few times just for the breakfast sandwiches.





Getting Ready

Monthly Battery Check

As we get ready to start a few weeks vacation in the motorhome, we took this opportunity to check the batteries.These are deep cycle flooded batteries, so we need check and top up with distilled water from time to time. There is lots of preventative maintenance tasks for weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly. I've downloaded some suggested check lists from the RV 101 education I took - If you have an RV, check out their training material and videos. https://rveducation101.com
