Moved the 5th Wheel

The 5th wheel is put away for the winter unless it gets sold. It is being stored at Alaska RV and when I paid for storage, I asked about consignment. She mentioned that they have had multiple inquiries for cheaper 5th wheel RVs just in the past week. Today was a very tiring day for us. We moved the RV, emptied it out, cleaned it out, drained the fresh water tank, drained the water heater, blew out the water lines, and put on the cover including the tire covers. I turned off all of the power since the solar panels are covered but I still need to remove the batteries. It has been a long and tiring day. (The batteries were removed 08-13-2019)

We also transferred the title for the new-to-us RV and picked up the license plates with "Z" tags. The "Z" tags are license tags without an expiration. Pretty cool that the state has that option for older vehicles. Bridget had made an appointment at the DMV for the title transfer. We showed up, waited in a short line to check-in and received a number. Within 10 seconds of receiving the number slip, our number was called. Pretty amazing service at the DMV!
