JUNE 2 - JUNE 6: Trip for Toppers

When we were at the Maintenance Session in Goshen, IN in early May, we made arrangements to have new slide toppers installed on Little House.  The original toppers were almost 10 years old and were showing their age.  We purchased the new toppers from Stone Vos but it was too late to have them made and then installed in Goshen.  Since we were already going to be in the south in central Alabama at the end of May, and didn't have anything better to do, we made plans to travel to Brooksville, FL (Stone Vos's home location) and have the toppers installed there.

We left Jemison, AL on June 2, and spent the night in Quincy, FL at Beaver Lake Campground (basically hookups in a field ). While we can use the air conditioners while running the generator, as a precaution,we don't go to sleep with the generator in use. This time of year, nights in the south are warm and humid, and definitely justify using A/C.



June 3, we drove to the Campers Holiday near Brooksville, FL. This is an 'over 55' community and RV Park nestled under tall pin oak trees , a well-kept park in quiet, country setting with few occupants this time of year. We had a long back-in site with full hookups at half-price using Passport America.  The slide topper installation was done on Monday, June 5 on our campsite and took about 3 hours.

Tuesday, June 6, we hit the road back north, with rain most of the way,  for an overnight stop in Dothan, AL at the Cherry Blossom RV Park and Mobile Home Park.  We had a level, pull-thru graveled site in a nice park with friendly workers for half-price through Passport America.
