So, did I mention that I never owned a motor home before? The ideal thing to do when aquiring an RV, new or used, would be to make the first "shake down" trip a short one, close to home, as a time to get used to driving it, discover if it has any problems that need to be fixed, make sure you know how everything works, etc. Well... the RV was in Tucson, AZ, and I was in northeast Arkansas.
So, yes, I took a one-way flight to Tucson (I'm not crazy about flying, especially by myself), and arrived at the home of the folks that sold it to me with my suitcase in hand, thinking of all the things that could go wrong. What I found when I got there were some very nice, honest people with an RV in their driveway that was exactly as promised. We spent some time going over everything, although it's really hard to thoroughly "learn" how everything works in just an hour or so.
We finished our transaction and I was happily on my way to the closest Wal-Mart to pick up supplies for the trip home. The trip home proved to be an adventure.
