Very nice. I was seriously looking at that one before I decided on the 325RL. Your recliners are just like mine and there is nothing to sit your drinks on. I shopped everywhere for a narrow table but could not find one so I had to build it. The table has a small drawer for remotes, etc. and a slide out mount for a portable vacuum cleaner.
Enjoy.

You don't know the half of it. When I was still working I always booked 3 weeks at the end of September. No crowds, less traffic on the roads, getting into the shoulder season rates, no crowds, less traffic priceless.

Yes I totally agree and this is why we are going at that time, I have made arrangement to go on the 6th of Sept to the 12th, just can't wait.

Wow, that is a good long getaway, I wish we can do that but since the wife and I are pastor the most that we are away are about 14 days if that. Have a good and safe trip.

Big1, these are unique times.
With technology, you might put together a couple sermons "on-the-road"?

Maybe even taped with an awesome background for your parishioners to enjoy. Have a seat, relax, and speak to that camera lens.

Multi-campus churches commonly have simulcast at all the satellite locations.

Tolerance is high for these methods.
However, you, as a pastor, still gotta bring it!
Whether on the pulpit, or some majestic location, we aren't gonna be happy if your message is a dud. Lol

We are still working stiffs too... 14 days is a long stretch for us. My wife can bet up to 21 days in a row off, with my company I can put in for up to 14 days but it likely will be interrupted even if they allow me to take it. Only a few more years to retirement! Then the plan is to go out for up to 6 weeks at a time, then come back to home base.

Yes sir I agree, I believe that when we do start going out that their will be a lot of sermons about camping. I have a little about it today, the testimonies on how God bless us with it, we going out soon and just can't wait.

And this is why my wife love it because of the space, we was going to get the Denali 350FK but she got to thinking about it and she needed more light coming inside.

I know about them nightmares, I've been retired coming up on 13 years and I still get the odd dream about work. It's scarey until you wake and get your head clear.

Have you though about starting a RV group at your church? We have one at the church we go to. It's not lead by the pastor but by a retired Marine. We go out 3 or 4 times a year. Our big outing is to Quartzsite Az. in January. Have about 15 rigs that show up to that one each year. It's nice to go RVing with friends that have more in common that just a RV.
