An Arm’s Length of Business

We awoke Thursday with another slow leak in the new rear duelly. There was also a power outage during the night and our new Victron inverter was giving us a problem as a result. Back to business in LA, we found a tire shop outside of Shreveport for a valve repair and Bill was able to troubleshoot the inverter. A reboot meant reaching an arms length deep inside the Sprinter's rear compartment to shut it down. Bill's arm didn't work, but my long arm did.

Onward to Dallas, our mission was to secure indoor storage space for our van when not in use. RSW airport in FL has direct flights to Dallas, so it seemed to be a good fit for us; simplifying our road trips out of SWFL. National Indoor RV Center is an interesting concept that offers sales, repair, storage and concierge services. After investigating the Lewisville location, we may be ready to leave our camper in TX at the end of this adventure.

The day got away from us and we just wanted to settle in camp and relax without driving too much. While we tend to enjoy the natural environment of State and National Parks, we opted for a highly rated and relatively expensive nearby private campground: The Vineyards Campground of Grapevine TX. It's super nice, clean, on Lake Grapevine and has plenty of urban glamping amenities.

By the end of the day, the solar-powered batteries were fully charged.
