14FEB, Valentine’s Day, we fired up the RV & headed to Camping World in Hammond, WA. We have been experiencing problems with out right, rear, leveling jack & wanted it checked out by professionals. Jacking systems are pretty common on most Class A motorhomes, & are used to level the RV if the camping spot is not 100% level. Of course there are limits to how “unlevel” the camping spot can be! Anyway, our right, rear, jack has not retracted the last two times we have moved the RV, forcing Dan to pry it up with a 2by4. Naturally it worked perfectly on our departure! Anyway, the technician tested all components, checked the hydraulic fluid, & cleaned all the cylinders. No obvious problem(s) could be found; let’s hope that routine maintenance was all that was needed.We had planned on devoting two days at Camping World for them to find & fix the problem. So having “unplugged” from Rebecca & Raymond’s, & driven two hours to Hammond; we decided to spend two days away from Houma at Paragon Casino in Marksville, LA. You may remember we previously visited this casino 16/17NOV11. To us one of the prime benefits of fulltiming RV’ing is the flexibility when plans change. So rather than viewing the drive to Hammond as “wasted”, we just decided to turn it into a mini-excursion.
As we said this our second visit to this casino & we really like it even though it is “out of the way” in regards to being near a city of any size. But since we did this on the spur of the moment, we didn’t have their latest booklet of coupons. So Corrie went to the Players Desk to see if we could get more coupons; the answer was no, but we did score a free lunch buffet coupon. In the atrium of the casino’s hotel they have a large display of live gators. Apparently if you don’t pay your gambling debts they don’t take you out in the desert like in Vegas, they just throw you to the gators. Thursday, 16FEB, its back to Houma.
