Thank you to all of you, my friends. You have all been here cheering me along for such a long time, it was a real joy to finally be able to report the successful completion of the Sagwagon. She's a bonafide teardrop now!!

@ Debbie, thanks for always checking in on me and for that link to the recipe. That looks so yummy. I might just have to give it a trial run TONIGHT!!!

KC, I am very sorry we missed you too. I would have liked to see your poet creek express in the making. Hopefully soon.

Cliff, we are leaving here on our way west in only 16 days and I can't wait. I am really looking forward to meeting you. See you soon!!
Life is sooooo good.........

What a fun trip! Thanks for the write up! Below are a couple suggestions based on your comments.

I need to install a couple of drink holders near the head of the bed so we can keep bottles of water handy during the night. I have these drink holders in my Tear. I like them because they fold up flat against the wall when not being used:

Our Terminix man gave us an electric Mosquito Sentry which was supposed to repel and kill mosquitos in the campsite. It holds a liquid and I think it was supposed to be vaporized into the air. As far as I can tell all it did was leak all the liquid onto the ground and all over our stuff. Thank God it was a freebie. If you are ever offered the opportunity to part with $100 for one of these gizmos, don't. We'll use Citronella candles in the future. I like to use a Thermacell. They work surprisingly well and better than Citronella candles in my opinion:
