I only have to cook for one this morning.  Easy peasy!  After clean up it was time to hook up and get the RV out of the spot.  To get into the spot, I had to come through a grassy area, through a fence opening (very wide) and pull forward past 2 trees.  Then I had to back up within 4 feet of the Cottage.  So to get out, I am going to have to pull forward, then back through the gate, between a few trees, and then I will be able to drive around the building.  To make matters worse, the rain has softened the grassy area and created a couple of mud puddles.  But within 15 minutes we were on our way to Conway, Arkansas to Moix RV.  Moix is a very large dealer and they were able to get us in sooner than anyone else.  We arrived about an hour early and the service rep. we had was out of the office for lunch.  So we sat and waited.  We didn’t have to wait very long.  The rep came back from lunch and showed us into his office.  We completed the paperwork and then went outside and unhitched the RV.

This particular dealer is a dealer for Brinkley RVs.  Brinkley is a relatively new company and they are building some interesting RVs.  They are putting a lot of features into their RVs that a lot of RVers are wanting.  The founders of the company are actual RVers so they build a prototype and then take it out for a week or two and use it to make it better.  They are pricier than a lot of RVs but the quality of the build is very evident if you know anything about RVs.  Nancy has been looking at one of their new models and we are hoping to see one today.  It is the Brinkley Z3400. It is about 4 feet shorter than our current RV and it has a drop down back patio but it is not a toy hauler.

We went to the brand new Brinkley building and they did have several models for us to look at but not the Z3400.  They had ordered one for a customer but in transit from Indiana it got scratched.  So the customer was ordered another unit and they had this one at the body shop.  We requested to be notified when it came out of the shop.  They said they would.

Next door just happened to be a Harley dealer.  So naturally I had to check it out.  I no longer collect Harley T-shirts but I do collect poker chips.  After I made my purchase, it was finally time to get something to eat.  After looking online at nearby restaurants, we settled on O’Malley’s Irish Grill.  The food was good and the Guinness was as well.  I tried get a local brew but they were out of the one that wasn’t an IPA so what else would you drink at an Irish Pub?  Then it was 1 1/2 hours to drive home.
