Happy Birthday to me! and the Milage Question Again

Just look at what my daughter sent me from TX. She somehow knew I needed a waterpot for my plants... and tucked inside was some Chamomile and Tazo green tea, dried pineapple chips, and 2 kinds of specialty buiscuts. There was also a worm cookie, and a pkg of gummy worms. I told her every garden needs worms ;) The tea and buiscuts I am sure are for relaxing after the garden work is done.
My SIL also sent me a teeshirt on which she did some fancy work. I love the butterfly print material she used on the armbands and chest back ground. It also has a cute little butterfly appliqued on the left shoulder made from same material.
Another daughter wanted to know what I would like to have so I think she is ordering me a tree face for on my oak tree.
All in all I had a great day!
Over the weekend our neighborhood had thair annual yard sales. I came away with a bunch of very neat usable items, and some not r-e-a-l usable but pretty and on my always-wanted list, but I will post them later. Right now the only find I am posting is this pair of deck/camping folding chairs. Could not pass these up! Love the color, although they could use a fresh coat of paint. Very comfortable and portable!
Ah, yes..... camping... which brings me to another subject I have been rolling around in my head. After much contemplatione I have decided, and am, looking for a different RV. The bathroom in the present one is so small and not realisticly usable for me; I have a time filling the water tanks (takes hrs, seemingly b/c of airlock; has too small of gas tank; also the rig is so heavy and the gas milage leaves much to be desired. So I have been looking on-line at dealers, checking out their 24-26' 2005 or newer. Doesn't mean I would not take an older one but it must have reasonable MPG. (I was told I would get about 10 mpg avg, and am hard put to get 8mpg, and thats crawling along at 55 mph or less) I need to get one by Aug as I would like to get to Montana mid-month.
I asked on here before what do you all get MPG, and everyone except one was quiet as a mouse, so I still have no idea what is considered "good". Also if I cannot find an RV I am looking for , I may decide to go with a camper trailer after all. What is your all preferrance, or pros or cons on that?? Thanks if you decide to leave any imput. I will appreciate it.

  1. 8 mpg is about average for me. Not sure what you mean by a camper trailer. Do you mean a trailer you pull behind or a pop-up?

  3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNNY!! I see you did get some really cute gifts how thoughtful of your daughter and SIL.

    8 mpg is what I got sometimes close to 9. one of my friends has a View or the other model 24ft and has diesel. She said she gets about 13 mpg. That would be nice.
    Sometimes I think you get more room in a travel trailer. But have to have the means to pull it. I would stay away from pop up tent trailers they are a pain to deal with and for security I like hard walls. What every you choose enjoy it and have fun.

  5. What cute, cute gifts! And I LOVE the chairs -- too cool! I hope you can find a replacement rig before Aug, but if you don't, at least you'll still have yours.
