Fort Smith, AR, to HOME SWEET HOME

​My stay in Fort Smith, AR, was nothing special. I stayed in a campground with electric hook-up, and stayed warm enough using the heat strip on the ceiling of the RV. In the morning I unplugged and headed for home.

It was such a relief to get my new RV home safely. The weather at home in northeast Arkansas had been cold, and it was expected to be below freezing  for a few days at least at night, so I moved my car away from the house and backed the RV up the driveway and parked it so it was just a few steps from the back door of the motorhome to the back door of my house. This also allowed me to plug into the outlet on the outside of the house. It wasn't 30 amp, but I had been told that it would be enough to run the heat strip so I could keep the water tank and plumbing from freezing until I could get it winterized.​ I was tired and there wasn't any reason to unload the few things I had in it until tomorrow. I had to work the next day, so I locked it up and went in the house to rest up from my crazy trip.

The weather report was calling for possible severe winter weather, so I set my alarm a little earlier just incase driving to work would be difficult. It proved to be impossible!​
