We left after work on Thursday, picked up the old camper and headed down to Grand Rapids. We had to get the old camper the night before because the storage place opens at 10 am and we had to be in Grand Rapids at 9 am for the walk through and orientation for the new camper. The drive to the Airstream dealership is 2.5 hours from our house.
We arrived in Grand Rapids around 11:30 pm so we decided to stay at a rest stop. We were going to stay at a hotel but what to do with the camper? Can we fit in the parking lot of a hotel with the camper? So the rest stop was the next best choice so I thought. Sounded good in theory but well, where do I start.
It started to rain, and the temperature dropped that night and it became very cold. We slept in the old camper with no lights or heat. We had plenty of blankets but it did not help. Besides the cold the noise was unbearable. I am a light sleeper so what was I thinking staying at a rest stop. Our first "boon docking" experience. If you can call it that.
I woke up every 3-4 hours. I got a bad headache in my left temple, and had to take an excedrin without any water. What a night. I will post pictures of the inside of the camper as soon as I can figure out why they will not load onto the Mac.
Well we got to the Airstream dealership around 9:20 am and started our journey. All went well the orientation seamed to take all day. I just wanted to eat and go back to bed.
The only problem we encounterd was that they forgot to install our awning. So they will have them ordered and install them at another date. We had two minor issues that they were able to fix before we left. Well here are two videos that I was able to load. More to come.
