He mea paʻakikī ke koho ʻana i ka RV kūpono. Nui nā koho! ʻO ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo mua a mākou e hāʻawi nei i ka poʻe e kūʻai ana i kahi RV ʻo ia ʻAʻohe RV kūpono nāu. Pono ʻoe e hana i kekahi mau mōhai… ʻoiaʻiʻo ke ʻole ʻoe e hoʻolālā e hoʻolilo i hoʻokahi miliona kālā no nā koho maʻamau. Akā inā ʻo ia ka hihia, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe e heluhelu nei i kēia pou.

E ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻO ka nui o nā RV manawa piha āu e noi ai he 2 a 3 paha mau RV like ʻole. Ma mua o kou noho ʻana i kahi RV, paʻakikī ke ʻike maoli i kāu mea e makemake ai a pono ai. No laila, mai kahaha inā hoʻololi ʻoe i kou manaʻo.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu i nā mea a pau nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ke koho ʻana i ka RV kūpono (e like me ka pou a mākou i kākau ai, Mai kūʻai i kahi RV a hiki i ka heluhelu ʻana i kēia mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo 5!), e hana i ka noiʻi ʻana, a hoʻohuli iā ʻoe iho. Akā, ʻo ka hopena, a hiki i kou wā i hele ai i ke ala ākea a ʻike i kou ʻano huakaʻi, kou makemake kaʻa, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe… paʻakikī ke ʻike i ka RV ka mea maikaʻi loa no kou nohona.

No mākou, ʻaʻole mākou i loaʻa i kahi RV a ʻaʻole i hoʻomoana i hoʻokahi. Ua koho 'akomi makou i ka huila elima no ka hakahaka. Aloha nō hoʻi mākou! ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua kākau mākou i kēia pou - 10 mau kumu e koho ai i ka huila elima no ka holo manawa piha. ʻO ia mau kumu ke kumu i hoʻoholo ai mākou i ka huila ʻelima, a ʻo ia nō pōmaikaʻi nui i ke koho ʻana i ka huila ʻelima.

Eia naʻe, 8 mau mahina ma hope i ka manawa e kūʻai ai i RV hou, kāhāhā loa mākou iā mākou iho i ko mākou koho ʻana e hoʻololi i kahi kaʻa kaʻa papa c ma kahi o kahi huila ʻelima ʻē aʻe. Ua kūʻai mākou i kā mākou huila ʻelima me ka ʻike he "hui hoʻomaka" e ʻae iā mākou e hoʻāʻo i ke ola RV a hoʻoholo inā no mākou a ʻaʻole paha. ʻAʻole i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka noho manawa piha… ʻoi aku ka nui o ka RV koa koa hopena pule. No laila ua hele mua mākou i ke kaʻina hana kūʻai me nā manaʻo e kūʻai i kahi huila ʻelima hou.

Eia naʻe nā kumu i hoʻopau ai mākou i ke koho ʻana i kahi kaʻa kaʻa papa c.

ʻAʻole pono mākou i nā "mea" e like me kā mākou i manaʻo ai

I ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i kā mākou mau mea i waho ka huila elima, ua huki mākou i nā mea he nui ʻaʻole mākou i hoʻohana a poina maoli nō mākou i loko o laila. Eia hou, ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i kekahi mea e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka nohona a me ke ʻano. I kēia manawa, ʻike mākou i kā mākou makemake e hana ma nā wahi a mākou e kipa aku ai, ʻike mākou ʻaʻole pono mākou i nā lole e like me kā mākou i manaʻo ai, a ua haʻalele mākou i nā kope o nā mea.

He hoʻololi nui ia i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana mai kahi hale i ka RV. No laila, nui ka poʻe e koho i kahi RV nui aʻe a ʻike lākou i ka liʻiliʻi o kā lākou pono. He mea maʻamau no ka poʻe RV manawa piha e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kā lākou RV i ka wā a i ʻole ma hope o ko lākou makahiki mua ma ke alanui. Ma ke ala, ʻo ka hele ʻana i nā pae, he ʻāpana o ke kaʻina o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i kou ola.

Mākaukau > wahi noho

Ua nalowale kekahi mea ma kahi o 50 sq ft i ka wā i hoʻohaʻahaʻa ai mākou mai ka huila ʻelima a i kā mākou papa c. Ua hala paha mākou? ʻae nō hoʻi! Akā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā pōmaikaʻi i loaʻa iā mākou ma mua o ka nalowale o ka lewa.

ʻO kā mākou pōmaikaʻi punahele ʻo ia ka maʻalahi o kā mākou papa c. ʻO ka hoʻokele kaʻa like loa me ka hoʻokele kaʻa kahiko. No ka mea aia ka lōʻihi ma lalo o 26 kapuaʻi, hiki iā mākou ke "hoʻokomo" i ka hapa nui o nā wahi kaʻa. Ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi kaʻa alanui ma ke kūlanakauhale a ua "moochdocked" ma waho o nā hale o nā ʻohana me ka pilikia ʻole.

ʻO ka ʻokoʻa, ʻo ka manawa hope a mākou i hoʻi ai i ka home, ʻaʻohe o mākou koho ʻē aʻe ke waiho i kā mākou huila ʻelima i loko o kahi waihona i ka wā e kipa aku ai i ka ʻohana no ka mea ʻaʻole lawa ka wahi no ia mea ma ke ala kaʻa a me ke kaiāulu. He mea maʻalahi loa ka neʻe ʻana i waho o ko mākou home no kekahi mau pule a ʻaʻole i loaʻa i kekahi o kā mākou mau waiwai.

Ua lili nui mākou i ka poʻe RVers i hiki ke huki i ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui e paʻi i kahi kiʻi o kahi hiʻohiʻona. Pono mākou e noʻonoʻo i nā kiʻi noʻonoʻo no ka mea ʻaʻole palekana ka huki ʻana me kahi kaʻa he 30ft, inā he wahi no ia. I kēia manawa, ʻike mākou iā mākou iho me ka hilinaʻi e huki ma kahi kokoke i nā wahi āpau me ka maʻalahi, me ka nānā ʻole ʻana i ke aniani e hōʻoia e hoʻomaʻemaʻe mākou i kahi alahele, a manaʻo ʻo Lindsay he 100% ʻoluʻolu ke kalaiwa i kēlā me kēia manawa. 

Nā lā huakaʻi maʻalahi

E ʻae mai iaʻu e pena i ke kiʻi o ko mākou mau lā huakaʻi i ka huki ʻana i ka huila ʻelima. ʻO ka mea mua, pono mākou e kāʻei i lalo i nā mea ʻokoʻa, me ka mālama ʻana i nā mea. A laila, loaʻa iā mākou ka wehe maʻamau o ka ʻili, ka wai a me ka uila. ʻO ka hana hope loa, ʻo ia ke kākoʻo ʻana i ke kaʻa i ka pololei, e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ke kaʻa, a hoʻopaʻa i luna, ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau he 10 mau minuke wale nō (ma ka lā maikaʻi). Manaʻo pinepine mākou e poina mākou i kahi ʻanuʻu, no ka mea he nui wale.

Ua poina iaʻu e haʻi aku pono mākou e hoʻonohonoho i kahi ʻoluʻolu no nā ʻīlio, hoʻopaʻa i kahi ʻeke ʻai, ʻeke wai, ʻeke ʻōpala, kā mākou kamepiula (inā makemake mākou e hakakā i ka hana ʻana), nā kamera (pono ʻoe e mākaukau no nā hiʻohiʻona nani), a pēlā aku. Inā makemake mākou e ʻai i ka ʻaina awakea ma ka huila ʻelima, hoʻopau mākou i 30-45 mau minuke i kēlā me kēia manawa a mākou e kū ai, ʻo ia ka mea i ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o nā lā huakaʻi.

I kēia manawa, e hoʻomaka wau e wehewehe i ka ʻokoʻa o nā lā huakaʻi ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana i koʻu kākau ʻana i kēia pou, ke holo nei mākou i Nashville. Noho au me ka ʻoluʻolu a me ka palekana ma ka hale ʻaina ʻoiai ʻo Dan e hoʻokele ana. A hiki i ka manawa ʻaina awakea, ala wau a e hana mākou i sanwiti me ka ʻole e kū a inā pono wau hoʻohana i ka lumi hoʻomaha…ʻaʻole pilikia! Hiki i nā ʻīlio ke neʻe iki aʻe.

ʻAe, a ma mua o ko kāua haʻalele ʻana i kekahi wahi, ʻo ia wale nō ka mea e lawe ai iā mākou 10-15 mau minuke e hoʻopaʻa, wehe, a wehe. ʻAʻohe hoʻopaʻa ʻana a hoʻopaʻa i lalo. Hoʻopili mākou i nā mea, huki i ka paheʻe i loko, wehe i kā mākou makau, lele i loko a hele! Hele wikiwiki mākou a noho maʻamau i 1 pule i ka manawa ma nā wahi hou, no laila nui kēia no mākou!

Huila ʻelima 38C Hoʻolei ʻia nā ʻāpana kaʻa kaʻa pāpaʻi ma luna

ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā wahi hana

ʻOiai he nui nā hiʻohiʻona hou o nā huila ʻelima he mau wahi hana nui, ʻaʻole kā mākou. ʻO kā mākou wahi hana wale nō ʻo ia ma ka lumi kuke ʻaina. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hale ʻaina me nā cushions maikaʻi no ka noho ʻana i ka lā a pau.

Inā piʻi nui ka pāʻina no kāua ʻelua, makemake au e hana ma ka noho kaʻa kaʻa, e wili aʻe ana e alo i kahi noho. Aia kekahi papa ʻaina hiki iaʻu ke hoʻonohonoho, hiki ke waiho ʻia i mua o ka noho, inā makemake wau e ʻoluʻolu a nānā i ka TV ke kākau wau. No laila ua loaʻa iā mākou 3 mau koho o nā wahi hana! 

Ua ʻōlelo wau e hana ana wau i ka wā e hoʻokele ai mākou, he mea nui hoʻi ia no mākou. A ʻaʻole e noho ana ke kamepiula ma koʻu ʻūhā ma ka noho kaʻa. Aia wau ma kahi "papakaukau", kahi e hiki ai iaʻu ke nānā aku me ka loaʻa ʻole o ka maʻi kaʻa a i ʻole ka ʻāʻī!

Hiki iā mākou ke hele i nā hopena pule no ka mea ʻo Dan ka mea hoʻokele mua a ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻokaʻawale i kāna hana i nā lā pule. Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokomo i ka huakaʻi i ka lā pule inā ʻoi aku ka holo ma lalo o 3 mau hola a ma hope o ka lā hana. ʻO ka mea paʻakikī loa e pili ana i kēlā, ʻokoʻa ka holo ʻana i ka pō, ʻo kā mākou hopena pule ko mākou manawa waiwai loa. ʻO nā hopena pule ka manawa maikaʻi loa no mākou e ʻimi ai i nā wahi hou a hauʻoli i ka pōmaikaʻi nui o ke ola RV.

I kēia manawa ua ʻoluʻolu au i ka hoʻokele ʻana i ka RV hou, hiki iā Dan ke hana i koʻu hoʻokele ʻana. ʻAʻole pono nā lā huakaʻi e hoʻokaʻawale i ka manawa mai ka hana. E pili ana i ka pono a me nā hana he nui, ʻeā? A manuahi kā mākou mau hopena pule no ka hoʻokalakupua!

ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kinoea mileage

He aha kāu e loaʻa ai ke hele ʻoe i kahi kaʻa GMC Sierra 2500 a me kahi huila ʻelima 8,500 paona? He mea puhi kinoea! ʻAʻole ia he hoʻohenehene. Loaʻa iā mākou he 7-8 mau mile no ke galani i ka huki ʻana! A laila e hoʻomau mākou i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mile kinoea maikaʻi ʻole ke wehe mākou i ke kaʻaahi a hoʻokele i ke kaʻa a puni nā kūlanakauhale. Noho mākou ma nā hale hoʻokele kinoea.

I kēia manawa, loaʻa i ke kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa wale nō, aia ma kahi o 15 mpg. Ke huki mākou i kā mākou Jeep Wrangler ma hope o ka hale kaʻa, ʻoi aku ka awelika ma kahi o 11 mau mile no ke galani… ʻaʻole ʻino loa. Akā ke hōʻea mākou, hiki iā mākou ke holo a puni i ka jeep a loaʻa 18 mau mile no ke galani a puni ke kūlanakauhale! Cha-ching! ʻOi aku ke kālā i loko o kā mākou ʻeke, kahi e hauʻoli ai mākou i ka poʻe hoʻomoana!

No laila aia iā ʻoe! ʻIke loa, hauʻoli nui mākou i kā mākou hoʻoholo e hoʻololi mai ka huila ʻelima i kahi home kaʻa! Ua koho mākou i kahi Winnebago Navion 24D 2018 a aloha mākou! Ua kapa mākou iā ia ʻo "Wanda" no ka mea ʻae ʻo ia iā mākou e "wanda" a puni ka ʻāina i ka wā e hānai ana i kā mākou "wanda-lust". A i ʻole, e like me ka ʻōlelo a koʻu makuakāne, "wanda" mākou pehea e uku ai iā ia! Akā, e like me kā lākou e ʻōlelo nei, ʻaʻole nalowale nā ​​​​mea āpau "wanda". Ha! ʻAe, ua lawa nā puns!
