Over to Penscola, FL
So this day looks to be an easy ride but welcome to the world of RV'n as that didn't turn out to be the case. We needed to get gas early so found a pilot station and as I have a frequent fueler card that gives you 3 cents a gal off, we go with that and pay $3.70 a gal. We finish and decide that we will get some McDonalds breakfast and pass a station that is selling diesel for $3.57, first aw shit of the day. So we get to McDonalds and I'm looking for a place to park and I think that the bank across the street has a pull thru driveway so I commit the rig to the lot and learn that it does not....ah shit #2. We finish breakfast and it takes NJ out of the truck walking me back and forth trying to turn a 35ft rig around so we can get out headfirst.....OK all set there and off we go. We get to Slidel, LA and needed to make a short stop at the Wall Mart and upon exiting the lot a guy pulls up and says roll down your window and then tells us that we struck a low height warning sign and it hit our air conditioning unit and he saw it move. Who puts a low height warning sign in a Wall Mart lot I want to know. Now we are in the lot across from Wall Mart and from the ground we can see the cover is fractured. Now I have to take the bikes off the ladder, climb up and find that its quite fractured and is going to need duct tape. Fortunately it did not hit the unit, just the cover. But....we are out of duct tape to NJ takes off on a mile hike across the road to Home Depot to get tape. This turned out to be an "ah f............k". Got it taped up and finished the 3 hr ride it was supposed to be into nearly 5. Going to run about $150 to replace the cover. Welcome to the world of RV'n

Oh My! Starting to sound like it's more trouble than it's worth.
