Looks like a great time.
A lot of nuances running and unpacking an RV.
Don’t leave plastic bottled water, or soda pop cans inside for periods of time.
Water bottles will get hot and taste like plastic.
Soda cans might explode.
Baller!my RV will never see more than 80 degrees inside. Even outside it’s plugged into my house and the AC’s are set. It’s 73right now out here running on the generator

it will in the heat of summer. Once it is over 110, 2 AC’s will only cool to the high 80’s maybe 85.

RD would possibly say the same about you.I think that's called Glamping.
On a side note, if I had RD's money I'd burn mine.
Camping ?? That’s not what I would call camping!!!
That is the dumbest term. It just all of a sudden popped up like RV's just came about 5 years ago.I think that's called Glamping.

Apparently these days they call it glamping?I would think motor home, and I can appreciate needing that in that climate but camping to me is a tent not a air condition motor home that's RV ing not camping. When we go camping it always involves the boat. Personally I would go 5th wheel that way you can drop it and still have your truck to go around looking at the sites

Dave is the fifth wheel yours or the motorhome?
The triple bunk set up is legit! Congrats on the purchase, looks awesome [emoji108]We bought a Berkshire Legacy 340 DP with a bunk conversion about a week and a half ago. There was a pretty long thread on our motorhome

Great job Dave, congrats! I NEVER thought I would ever get an RV and travel, but I have thought about it more and more when we get down the road. You have room at your house you said?We bought a Berkshire Legacy 340 DP with a bunk conversion about a week and a half ago. There was a pretty long thread on our motorhome

That's a real unicorn in that size and sleeping configuration. Perfect compromise of all the wants and needs in my opinion.We bought a Berkshire Legacy 340 DP with a bunk conversion about a week and a half ago. There was a pretty long thread on our motorhome

I’m guessing his actual roof is white fiberglass.That's a real unicorn in that size and sleeping configuration. Perfect compromise of all the wants and needs in my opinion.
With the black color I think I would be looking for some indoor storage or one of those RV steel covers for storage at your house. Havasu sun and heat will start thermo checking the dark colors on the top fairly quickly out in Havasu.

Top or sides the thermo checking is pretty well documented with dark colors in RV circles.I’m guessing his actual roof is white fiberglass.
Agreed , mine is a dark grey so I’m sure it’s in my future. LolTop or sides the thermo checking is pretty well documented with dark colors in RV circles.
@RiverDave
With a trip completed, what are you fixing or upgrading before the next trip?
What did you not have, that you are getting?
What did you purchase that is still in the original packaging?

You can use the tarp to cover toys outside instead of loading them into the trailer when weather gets shitty (it's nice to not have to wait or dry off a seat to go riding). Or if you develop a surprise roof leak while out, it doesn't have to ruin your entire trip. Or if something happen to the rig and you need to work under it, you can throw it down to keep yourself, who am I kidding, whoever you get to climb under there out of the dirt as well as their tools.I got a call last night that a friends dad is dying. I've known this friend since I was 2-3 years old so needless to say I spent a lot of time at their house all growing up, so I have to run to San Diego today and go say good byes and what not. When I get back tomorrow evening I'll try to update with all of that, but it's gonna be a bit tough without unloading the RV to see what we didn't use.. LOL. I can promise you we didn't use the "TARP". which Is a subject of contention around here.. LOL
Stacy went on some website where it has this list of shit you supposedly need while camping / rv'ing.. I knew I was in deep shit when she handed me the bulk pack of road flares, but when I she said "Here's the tarp" my response was somewhat of "WTF am I gonna do with a tarp?" I have run every single reasonable scenario in my head and I still can't figure out what I'd want a Tarp for.... But we got one.

THANK YOU!! TARP STAYS DAVE! We also were thinking it would make a fun slip and slide!!You can use the tarp to cover toys outside instead of loading them into the trailer when weather gets shitty (it's nice to not have to wait or dry off a seat to go riding).
