Since Miranda has essentially been in storage for the last six months, I have a few things to do that weren’t necessary the last time I spent six months in one location (Campbell River). When I take her out next week, probably Wednesday, I’ll have to add these things to the departure checklist:

-dewinterize the plumbing and check for leaks

-start up the fridge and make sure it runs on both 120V and propane

-fill up the water heater and make sure it fires up

This is in addition to:

-checking tire pressure

-having the front passenger wheel retorqued

-getting fuel and propane

-taking on water

-topping up the distilled water in the batteries

It’s incredible that I am counting down to departure in days now, and that two weeks from now will find me back in North Dakota.

I thought I would feel anxious about getting back out on the road, but nope, I am only excited!
