SEAL America -- Day 317

The Other Side of The Campaign

The Ambassador RV (that's really the model name) has served the SEAL America Campaign well. In fact, we could not have done this campaign without this versitile tool. It has been our mobile command center, office, and studio, and home-away-from-home. We have logged nearly fifty thousand miles, in every climate available -- from artic weather to tropical -- from below sea level to a mile and a half above sea level. Six different people have been aboard for various legs of the journey. However, we have had only three persons at any given time (two's a crowd!).

Here's the SEAL America Motor Coach getting much needed exterior detail, last week. The interrior is next on our our list. We plan to have the carpets professionally cleaned, and the interrior professionally detailed.

Although we have used the RV continuously, we have had no major mechanical problems. However, the RV is presently in the shop getting the auxlillary generator repaired. Since most RV Campgrounds are closed for the winter, being able to generate our own electricity is vital.

Minor work remaining to be done: We need to replace two more tires ASAP. repair closet door, repair cabinet hardware, repair dining room chair, repair step cover, repair retractable steps, repair hand rail, replace windshield, minor body work, replace exterrior shower hose.

We are relieved to see fuel prices dropping!
