Dallas RV Super Sale 2012 Feb. 22-26

 

This past week, the Professor and I attended the 2012 Dallas RV Super Sale....and so free seminars for the public. This year there was record attendance. It was wonderful seeing all the young families out shopping for the RV that best suited their lifestyle. Also, those who were getting ready to hit the road in their retirement years, whether going full time or just spending months on the road touring America. Whatever the reasons, crowds were strong. That's good news for the whole industry.

 RV Propane and RV Air Conditioning  - all pertaining to RV Maintenance were the topics for the Professor's seminars. Me - my topic - My RV Kitchen.What we talk about in my hour is 'Understanding how the RV kitchen works. How we can make our appliances work more efficiently. Plus, betters ways to stock foods and alternative ways of cooking. Lots of great information always awaits in the  'My RV Kitchen' seminar. 

It was a lot of fun showing pictures of Lady Stella Louise to friends and consumers alike at the show. We have not been able to start work on her,as of yet...but I have done some great window shopping on items that will be placed within. With lots of things going on in our life right now -she will probably be a 'Saturday only' job...so it may take a while to get her renovation complete. Short post this evening.

Until next time....Happy RVing!

 

Meet Lady Stella Louise - 1964 Yellowstone Travel Trailer

She is a diamond in the rough!

We have always dreamed of doing a restoration of a vintage RV

....and it looks like now we will get our chance! 

 The end of last month, we acquire this little sweet beauty.  She was found abandoned on an 1 acre track of land located in Burleson County, Texas.  From her license plate, she was last registered in 1995....but oh my goodness....that poor baby has seen some rough times.

 With the door latch ripped off and a missing door window, these ailments were not the worst by far. She was used as a trash bin of the previous owners and it was not a pretty sight. However, the Professor and I could see 'what she could be' through the mud she was buried in, half way up the tires...and we knew she could have a  'Second Chance' at life if we could get to her! So, we made the decision to secure her from the current owner (the local bank) and bring her home. That very day we named her 

Lady Stella Louise -Yellowstone!

The Professor and I have decided to record our journey with Lady Stella Louise via this blog and other means. I will be sharing lots of photos, restoration information, as well as our own thoughts as we go about this project. We would like our readers to follow along  .... we know that our family, friends and many of our RVing buddies will enjoy the journey as much as we do...A journey of LOVE.......

  Feel free to leave comments and suggestions, as we love to hear from you all.
