That is good news Dan!
We are heading out this afternoon to LazyDays resort. LazyDays is close to Plant City where the strawberry festival is. Making a weekend out of it. This will be our last trip to LazyDays for awhile (maybe ever) as they are closing on 4/1 to remodel the park. They have an onsite restaurant that we like and we spoke to one of the workers there. She has doubts they would ever reopen the resort. I sure hope so because we really like going there.
I got the motorhome yesterday afternoon from storage and put it in my driveway. I wanted to check the water level in the batteries and noticed white crude all over the strap that holds in the batteries. When I went to take off the strap the strap broke (assuming from the battery acid). One of the batteries was swollen on one side so off to the RV store this morning to replace both 6 volt batteries. $409 later, I have them installed. The batteries that I replaced weren't even 3 years old yet. I think I might have over filled them with water last time which made one of them swell and start leaking. At least I caught it before we got on the road.
ZuZu continues to grow and to melt our hearts. She is very sweet but very stubborn! She is a good traveler but we have only gone on short trips with her so far. She will have her first long trip the end of May.
