Back to the basics...kind of...

Well, it had to happen...we decided to sell our Class B motorhome last summer as we experienced the final straw--on a last trip of the year trip planned for Thanksgiving on Quadra Island, British Columbia, the windshield wipers gave up the ghost in the middle of a torrential downpour. Fortunately we were near enough to a Canadian Tire store that we managed to limp in to get the wipers fixed, but as lovely and helpful as the CT staff were and usually are, the novelty of sitting in the waiting area with a box of take-out fast food, our skitty mini Australian Shepherd, Louis Vuitton, and watching really bad daytime TV wore off quite quickly--needless to say the trip did not materialize and we went home, quietly cursing.
