Busy Busy Busy

Yesterday we began the process of building the bunk beds for the kids!  When we picked the camper up in Elkhart and had a few days to try it out, we figured out really fast that we didn't want to open and close the sleeper sofa everyday so we built bunk beds. We will be removing the sleeper sofa and keeping the recliners that came with the camper. They are not complete yet, but you can get the idea of what they will look like.  A buddy of mine came up and helped me with this project over the weekend.  The last photo is of the new auxiliary fuel tank that I wanted.  It holds 80 gallons of diesel fuel and will come in handy so we don't have to worry about filling up every 300 miles! After our trip back from Elkhart I felt this was mandatory. It seemed like I was constantly watching the over head fuel gauge for distance to empty and when your getting 10 miles to the gallon you can go through 35 gallons fast.  I don't like the feeling of the over head saying 135 miles to empty at 3/8 of a tank left and it really drops fast after that.  It just seems to rush your decisions of where to get fuel and force you into getting fuel at smaller stations that may be harder to get in and out of.
