2011 IDI Vacation Trip pics

[IDIDieselJohn]

Here it is, my vacation pics, as some wanted to see


We followed the I-81 all through NY and then hit the I-70 in Maryland and then to the I-95 that we followed up into FL, then in Florida we were doing bits of 95 and bits of A1A.

Then in Miami FL, we cut across on the 41 across in the Everglades, great place, but wow the mosquitoes..... and kepted on the 41 on the west coast till just past Clearwater FL and got back on the I-75 and cut across just passed Ocala, where just off one of those backroads, just off the 331 I bought my prize winning cab!


So heres Hershey Chocolat factory.

Can't remember where, but most beachs, especially on the west coast of FL had big expensive condos along them.

Muscle Car City it's an old Wal Mart building that this guy bought cheap cause the roof got ripped off and he turned it into a car museum. It's all GM cars/trucks, all his, and 50% of 'em are plated and he drives 'em every now and then!

This pretty much covers it. Was a great trip yet again, and no problems with the machine. The camper it's self had it's share of all kinds of little problems from electric (fuse blocks in the electrical panel for the main power to everything inside, the wires were loose causing stuff to get hot) and then a seal went bad in a water hose for the kitchen sink, and I couldn't find the right seal at the time so I cut the line, and made a new temporary fitting, and then when I finally did find the right seal, got a smaller piece of hose, stuck both ends on and used PVC cement to glue 'em together, and in a state park that had over 80psi of water pressure, the hose blew out (thank god for my outside quick connect) and fixed it again, and this time, added protection, Duct Tape and Gear clamps I have since bought and been using a water pressure regulator now.

Other than that no problems, but little things like that are to be expected every year, after all, it is a 24 year old camper.

That looks like a great way to spend a vacation. I can't wait to get a camper so my wife, son and I can start taking long sight seeing trips.

I think I found the theme song for your rig:

Also note the side skirts under the trailer that Kenworth is dragging. I'm starting to see a lot more of that around here too.

Best damn use for a Wallmart I think I've ever seen! Some day all wallfarts will look like this, and we will all be drinking coca-cola and singing in perfect harmony!
