We saw the trailer in person for the first time

 San Angelo, TX - Sunday, June 20, 2021

Noon 95 Degrees, Wind S at 13 to 26 Mph, Humidity 36%, sunny.

Afternoon 103 Degrees.


   Driving today Big Spring to San Angelo no issues today we found the campground easy. I put in the address for the trailer dealership and it did not display the correct addresses o I select the closes match. It did not take us in the correct direction. I tried to make adjustments it did not work we were lost. So I called the dealership had them direct us there, it worked out.


We were able to walk around “our” trailer. Took some pictures, it was hot no power on the rig today and we escaped and had dinner at Cheddar’s. we had seen pictures of different rigs and was not sure what “ours” looked like. We found everything right except options we wanted were not there and installed. Missing are washer dryer, dishwasher. Other things we wanted we could pass on.





That is all that I got on the computer

On The Road

 The SKP Ranch Lakewood, NM - Saturday, June 19, 2021

  On the road this morning, early as it was eleven thirty by the time we started rolling down the road. There was a lot of good bey's. Still more to stuff under Buster and thru out and the power cable, water hose and sewer hose. We made Big spring tonight pulling into the campground at 4:31pm local time as we crossed into central time at the Texas state line. Going down the road and making a turn the refrigerator would open and thing s would come out and fall on the floor. We were putting the refrigerator lock in place wrong the second time I did it correctly and no more problems. Stopping in Hobbes, New Mexico for diesel fuel $ 3.419 a gallon. But if we wanted in the refrigerator be very carful that nothing fell out when you opened the doors, with no spring rods in place.

   

The power switch in Tan Jan gave us a problem as it did not work, we just pressed on to deal with it tonight, at tonight’s campground. I had to take out the switch returning the cables to the correct post. Then I had to jump start Tan Jan from the house batteries in Buster as the cables were long enough to reach the car battery. We went to eat and shopping for spring rods to put in the refrigerator. I purchased a GFI tester so I can check all the outlets in the trailer when we do our walk thru. We also have a USB cable to test those ports.

Making plans to move

 We listed Buster on line, I put 6 pictures of the outside in the add, Crags list Roswell. We have had two inquires the second wants to see inside he is from Arizona on his way to Colorado. Says he has cash for the deal. We have been working inside boxing up and moving boxes to the shed. 



Garner seems to be slow and high priced, so I contacted another dealer in Kentucky and they seem to have a better starting price.   

Buster right rear


June 1, 2021

Well we have three nibbles on Buster that did not pan out. They are done. Yesterday I lowered the price then we had three more nibbles two emails and one phone call, and a looker says he will call Friday and visit on the weekend (phone caller).


In looking for our destination trailer I have contacted a place in London, Kentucky that I might order from that I think has the best price.



We continue to box up and move them to the shed. We are using small boxes to keep the weight down in the individual boxes. 

June 1, 2021

Well we have a looker coming Friday afternoon from Phoenix, Arizona. We are still boxing but at a slower rate wail still living in Buster..



June 3, 2021

I talked and emailed with some one in Phoenix they plan to look at Buster Friday. I had three other contacts from Texas, Colorado and California. We continue to box our things and moving them out to our shed. But we still need things to live.


We did make a run to Roswell for prescriptions and I had a board meeting before that for ranch business. I told them we are putting up our lot for reassignment and resigning the board soon.


Tomorrow we will stop on out way home at U Haul seeing about renting a small van as our shed is getting too full for more boxes. We are getting out boxes from Walmart, 14 x 14 x 12. Trying to keep the weight down in each box.


June 5, 2021

Well no one came yesterday to look at Buster. After dialysis we stopped at a U Haul place in Artesia, NM about $ 1,400.00 dollars to rent a small van to North Carolina. I will reserve one after I get a commitment from a buyer. I have moved many boxes to the shed and it is getting full. I am expecting a looker today, hope it goes well. Well the lookers came and left offered less by text. Start over again. 


Well we are rethinking our options we might take Buster to North Carolina.  If we do that we will unpack some boxes and try and stack some inside Buster. It is just hard to sell a motorhome older than ten years old. Buster is seventeen years old. I have revised the listing online adding more information as I think of it.
