That was great news as it saves about $100\/month and eliminates the job of getting it to a storage location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All tasks except for the &#8220;get up and go&#8221; tasks have been completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever preparing for an RV journey, there are always a surprisingly large number of small tasks that need to be completed before we are ready to go.
