Boot Camp (day 1)

Finished up the last of our laundry this morning.

We then drove over to register for "Boot Camp" as well as drop off some mail to be sent out. The first boot camp class is 1:00-2:30PM and all it covers is how to hook-up sewer lines. After full-timing for almost 2 years, I would hope we had that covered, so we headed back home until the Welcome ceremony, which starts at 3PM.

So, we went back over to Boot Camp when it was time. We were first introduced to all our "instructors" who would be training us over this three day "boot camp".

Mark Nemeth led our first class on RV Systems (Part 1). He did a quick overview of electric, batteries, generators, holding tanks, as well as CO2 and Smoke detectors. It was a nice simple presentation with a few gadgets and maintaince tips put forth.

We then had a short break and then had our 2nd class - "RV Driving Tips and Techniques" presented by Dennis Hill. He's the same person doing the RV Driving School that we wanted Shelly to take, but it was filled up when we tried to sign her up for it back in Feb. This class went over use of mirrors, turns, tail swing-out, backing and more.

It was a nice short day. Tomorrow will be much busier, starting at 7:30AM (breakfast provided) and ending at 8:30PM (dinner provided). Better get some sleep tonight!
