A Joint Effort

by Dianne

This is a common site in the park as more and more winter Texans return for their reprieve from the harsh winter weather they’ve left behind. If not the day they pull in, assuming they get in early enough, then at least by the very next day their RV unit and vehicle will be washed from top to bottom and end to end. Such was the case for Jim and Pat Whitten who arrived on the 19th.

Jim washing his RV with a smile. Glad to be here.

This is not a written law in any camping book or park rules, it is just something men “must” do as soon as they can manage. The road grime and salt residue is just not a pretty site and probably not good for the finish on their traveling residence. And, besides that, they just don’t like it.

The wives do their part by unpacking dishes, pots/pans, and precious breakables and rearranging the RV’s inside into livable space again. They also put that added sparkle here and there as demonstrate by Pat.


Yes, getting your home away from home back to looking spiffy is indeed a joint effort.
