Where are we today ?
Me up as usual early this morning and walkabouts for a couple miles was wonderful. Then about 9 am hopped in the car to head into town, only 2 miles from here.Right away I noticed this huge black cloud in the sky towards town. Not a good sign !
Puttered around for a while, sterilized our water jugs, had a bite for lunch. Then Off to the dump station. Been here for 8 days so almost due. But today works for us.
So secure the coach, jacks up slide in and 1/4 mile down the road. Dump our sewage and refill our fresh water tank we will be good to go until we leave here next Saturday.
Only a 5 minute wait here, no line up, not like January when we could be in line for over 3 hours.
Then we fill with fresh water and back to "home dirt" total about 45 minutes and we are all set up again.

Glad you dropped by and keep safe wherever you are.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Fall and Winter..
How heartbreaking to loss your home....so close to Xmas. ..hope they will be OK.
ReplyDeleteNot very nice that's for sure, at, least they are alive and uninjured.
DeleteWe saw a motor home fire two years ago when we were there. Very very scary.
ReplyDeleteIt is very scary, we did see one someplace else years ago, don't remember where though.
DeleteOh, no. That really is an RVers worst nightmare. Ever notice how the number of readers on your blog goes up the more disasters you mention in your title?
ReplyDeleteNot just disasters but the subject as well.
DeleteSo glad you let us know that no one was hurt in that fire.
ReplyDeleteIn all our years of traveling, we have never used a Blueboy. Wonder if there's a lot of smell?
I had to ask the sheriff just to be sure.
DeleteWe have never used one either , its just too easy to move our coach to the dump station.
There should be no smell as long as you use it properly and don't spill.
Yep,definitely an RVer's worst nightmare! Glad nobody was hurt.
ReplyDeleteIt was a sigh of relief when found out all was ok.
DeleteAs everyone else stated glad nobody was hurt. It is an RVer's worst nightmare but being this close to the holidays makes it harder.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Was a scary sight to see and the smell from all the burning toxins, could be smelled on main street 2 miles away.
DeleteThe way the MH is parked it could have ignited a brush fire too. It is really important that RVs are not parked too close to eachother otherwise......
ReplyDeleteThe rule here is at least 15 feet apart and there was a lot more space than that and from the brush too.
DeleteNo damage other than his coach, maybe some smoke on the neighbors upwind.
How unfortunate for the owners but glad they are unharmed. I'm sure they are devastated with their loss.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a total loss, but at least they are unharmed,
DeleteGlad everyone's OK. I would be interested to know what caused the fire, if you find out.
ReplyDeleteI would be interested too, will keep checking.
DeleteFire in RVs is really bad. They can be engulfed very quickly. My older RVs had multiple doors (my travel trailer and class-C MH) but my diesel pusher only has one door up front on the passenger side. That is a long way from the bedroom. Yes there are windows, but for us older folks, getting out those windows would not be easy if not impossible.
ReplyDeleteIt went up very quick.
DeleteWe have one door mid way on our coach plus the drivers door and the exit window in the bedroom. Would not be easy to get out, but in case of a fire I think we would manage.
Not good, fire in an RV. Too many have burned from fridge failures, but you're right, this one doesn't look like that was the case.
ReplyDeleteI suspect electrical fire, there was multiple solar panels near the front of the coach and quite a few batteries cables all burnt as well as the solar panels.
DeleteHave you heard anything more on this fire? George, is it really possible that the solar equipment somehow overheated and caught the unit on fire? If yes, that's scary. Hope these folks are able to get another coach and carry on with their lives/travels. Take care, George. Hi to Suzie.
DeleteCat Lady in Central, La.
Thanks Judy .
DeleteI have been unable to find out more, but many people install their own solar panels with inferior wires or fuses or even a loose connection could cause a spark.
Not sure whats going on now nothing new on this tragedy.
