Orlando - Sign Show

3/22/2012

 
We needed an excuse to have more fun with the new motorhome so we booked a trip to the International Sign Show in Orlando and decided to stay at Fort Wilderness in DisneyWorld.

We fly in to pick up the motorhome and discover that the batteries are all dead. We somehow manage to get the genny started and are able to then use the battery boost to get the engine running and off we go.

I have been working on a short video documentary about the history of business in Leicester from the viewpoint of its signmaker. I have completed it and brought it with me to show mom & dad. Mom and Dad drive over to the campground from Lakeland and pick up my sister Lisa at the Orlando Airport on their way. We have a great few hours together and everyone cries while watching the video.

Ellen and I spend some relaxing time just hanging around the campground and I attend the Sign Show for a few hours.

We stop at Camping World on our way back to the airport to check on the batteries. Batteries are fine and they install an isolator so that the truck batteries will charge when we are operating on shore power or the generator. We also realize that we have battery shut offs and we will turn them off anytime we store the unit from now on.
