Our last day to finish up EVERYTHING! Quick breakfast and we got right at it. I took the truck to get fuel and picked up wings for dinner tonight. We worked and worked. We have a couple hours in the morning to finish up, so we quit around 5pm. Enjoyed our last dinner (wings) in the Moho. We are already nervous about not having a Moho. More or less, we have had a Moho for the last 17 years. But it is time to move on.
Tuesday 11 March 2025 The Moho Goes
Up fairly early, breakfast sandwiches (microwaved) and back packing. The driver was almost an hour early. Arrived at 9:15 instead of 10. That gold clearing stuff out. Alot of it just sitting on the ground beside the truck. We'll finish loading after he leaves. And POOF just like that we are motorhome less.

Tuesday 4 March 2025
Sunny very nice day 80 degrees. A motorhome buyer called us to see if we wanted to sell our coach! Can't hurt to get a quote. We were planning another adventure today, but the windows were back in just after lunch, so we packed and headed back to Sumter Oaks. Fifty-mile trip didn't take long, we left at 3:30 and parked by 5pm. Burgers and a relaxing evening. We'll be busy getting the Moho ready for carpet this Friday.

Up at 6:15 on our way to Bushnell for carpet by 8AM. Dropped the coach off at 8:30 and now just need to kill 7 hours. Bushnell is a small town, and I never thought anyone one could spend 7 hours there, but we did! Started with breakfast, went to both antique stores, ate lunch, visited Len and it was 3:30 before we knew it. Picked up the coach, carpet looks great and back to our site by 4pm.

Diane made homemade sausage bisques (Keto) for breakfast it took forever but they were soooo good. π By the time she cleaned up from breakfast it was time to start cleaning veggies for dinner. I started packing up for the trip to Ocala tomorrow. Had to take our ladder and the tow bar over to Len's so the engine guys can access the engine compartment. Back home fish and freshly roasted veggies. YUM
Wednesday 26 February 2025
Diane made us an egg, sausage and cheese omelet to nourish us for the 45 mile, one hour trip to the Cummins service center in Ocalaπ. We arrived at Cummins with the check engine light dinging and
Thursday 27 February 2025
Appointment day at Cummins to have the check engine light problem checked out. We were up ready and even had Rudy in the car by 7:30. I took the keys in, and we were off. First was gas then off to a small park to walk Rudy and kill time until the

The part they replaced. |
He gave us the part for free (they happened to have one just sitting thereπ!) and with our labor discount it was only $851. WOW But the check engine light was out.
We had lunch in the Moho then headed down to Sumter Oaks CG in Webster (50 miles). An hour plus drive, we parked by 3:30. A bloody Mary's and leftovers.
Friday 28 February 2025
A little warmer today, in the mid 70's and a bit breezy. Every cupboard we opened including the refrigerator the stuff just came rolling out. Now I'm thinking we got the part for free because they ran over a curbπor hit a giant potholeπ. Fortunately, nothing broke. But we never had stuff come out this bad. Anyway, the check engine light didn't come on. π
Back to today's activities. We had lunch at the Shamrock Inn for lunch, food was good we had enough left over for another meal.

The Food was really Good! |
Saturday 1 March 2025
Cool day today, high temperature only 70 degrees. We were just walking out the door when Bev called, I ended up talking for almost an hour. A little late, but we were off to the Strawberry festival in Floral City. Thinking it would warm up and be sunny we both wore shorts. It warmed up a bit, but a sweater or jacket would have made it comfortable. We had a great time, lots of arts and crafts and the

Sunday 2 March 2025
Woke up around 6:30 looked outside, I thought it was still dark, but it was just fog, really thick fog. Good news another short trip today. We are heading to Suncoast Designers in Hudson. My navigator did a good job this year keeping us on good roads.......until.... we looked down the road and there was a road closed sign, arrows pointing left or right.... we went right. Diane quickly rerouted us down a side road. It was and old Florida road with giant live oaks growing completely over the road. It looked like a tunnel at some places. I waited for some to hit the roof, but we made.
Arrived in Hudson by 1:30, picked out a spot and got set up. Diane made a quick run to the grocery store. Our last steak and shrimp for dinner.

Monday 24 February 2025
Cool and rainy day. woke up to 45 degrees and light rain. Diane ate the last of the breakfast muffin that were leftover, so I made myself a turkey and onion sandwich. She says that was degusting for breakfast. YUM
Our last chance to hit the Webster flea market and it is rainy. Not a wash out, but who wants to walk through a flea market in wet sand while dodging rain showers. Did a few little things around the house. Cool boring day. Pork roast in the crock pot for pulled pork sandwiches. A couple games of farkle while waiting for happy hour.
Thursday 13 February 2025
A nice day today, sunny 77degrees. We went to the cemetery stopping on way for lunch of course. Stopped at Bree's restaurant in Noble. Nothing fancy, we shared a chicken cheese wrap and fries. Out to the cemetery, spent 1/2 half hour or so headed home. The National Cemeteries are so awe inspiring with everything neat, clean and especially how all the markers line up every direction you look.
Back to the Moho and just kinda hung out the rest of the day.
Friday 14 February 2025 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
A busy day today. After breakfast I returned all of Len's tool and chatted a bit with him. It was a workday, and he had a dog on the table doing a c-section, time to chat was short. Heading home I stopped at a yard sale, I think it is there year-round, things kind of sit outside all the time. However, I did find a nice salt & pepper set for 2 bucks. On my way through Bushnell, I see a carpet store and thought I would stop and see if they knew anyone who works on campers. Turns out they do. So, the guy came down around 2:00 to measure the Moho for new carpet. Ours has started to come apart "a lot", I had to tape it just so we didn't trip.
Anyway, it is Valentines Day! We broke out a good bottle of wine, grilled up some NY strips, baked tater and mushrooms. A yummy meal. And great Valentines Day.
Saturday 15 February 2025
A nice sunny warm day! A good day to enjoy the warm sun and do a little antiquing. π We headed south to Dade City a cute little town with several restaurants and antique stores. Had lunch at the Florida Cracker Diner, ate way too much. So, we "walked" up and down through town stopping in at least 8 stores. Some clothing shops and some antique stores. Spent 4 or 5 hours walking around. Then back to save Rudy. Needless to say, we just picked at leftovers for dinner.
Sunday 16 February 2025
The day started out like any other. Diane put a roast in the crock pot and headed out to do grocery shopping. But then, while she was gone, I decided to tear out the credenza so they could put new carpet under it. Turns out I couldn't get it loose from the wall. Diane returned, we put the groceries away. She took a glass of iced tea outside to enjoy the sunshine. All I had to do was clean up my tools (and the mess I made). I bent over to pick up the screwdriver, as I stood up, I wailed my head on the cupboard. It knocked me to the floor and blood started running down my face. πDiane got the bleeding under control rather quickly but the swelling not so much. She didn't want to spend money on me, so I had to go to a vet. Just kidding of course! We did go to Len's, he washed it out good, cut off some skin that was loose and sent me home.
Good thing we had dinner in the crock pot. We ate, I took some pain killers, sat around with an ice pack on my head. Diane changed the bandage twice before going to bed and I slept on the sofa! Oh my, what a day!!
What a difference one day makes!!
Monday 17 February 2025
We were supposed to go to the Webster flea market this morning but decided to stay home and put the shelves back in the credenza, every time I bent over my head started to bleed again. So, I stayed home and rested. Diane went to the drug store for more bandages, the carpet store to see if they had an estimate for us. They did not have it done...we need to pick carpet first. Back home she made fish for dinner, changed my bandage. By now the swelling has gone down and doesn't look near as bad. Down to just band-aides (large ones). Another night on the sofa.
Tuesday 18 February 2025 Shawna's Birthday
Starting to feel almost normal (don't laugh). Another nice day! Started with breakfast on the grill, up to the carpet store picked up some samples and the lady talked so much we just couldn't get away. Finally, we were out the doorway, way after lunch time. Stopped at the first decent restaurant, then off to check out a new campground on our way to flower shop. Picked up some flowers for the cemetery picked out nice ones for her birthday.
Finally, back to the Moho! Exhausted emotionally and physically! Made us a couple bloody-Mary's (oh yeah) sat out in the sunshine. Burgers for dinner. A nice day. I was allowed back in bed.

Wednesday 19 February 2025
Things back to normal! Diane went to carpet store, needed a check so back home then back to town to make a deposit at carpet store, drug store, grocery store, gas, and even Wal-Mart. I spent the day deep cleaning the grill, tore it all apart and back together without incident. Diane was so proud of me.ππ She made shrimp gumbo over rice for dinner. It was a prepackaged thing just add sausage and shrimp; it was good but a little watery. My head is healing nicely!

Friday 7 February 2025
First day just parked. After breakfast I reinstalled the mud flap, mostly just to get it out of the way. Started some research on the toilet. Several issues: won't hold water, and it won't fill using the foot pedal. We spent most of the day calling looking for parts and help, didn't find either. After hours of research no one would guarantee the parts would fit our 11 year old toilet so I guess it will be a new toilet in our future.
We got cleaned up and went to The Fishermans Restaurant. for dinner. We love this little place; food is always good and the service nice. Don't feel rushed and don't need to go find a waitress. Just a nice place.
Saturday 8 February 2025
Started looking for a new toilet as soon as breakfast was over (about 9π). I went to the local RV dealer, nothing in stock but they can order us one. Next was new wiper blades for the car, picked them up on my way to Len's. Talked to Len for a while, picked up our mail and borrowed a bunch of tools I thought I might need.
Back to the Moho, picked up Diane and went to check out our site in the next campground. A bit tight but we think we'll be able to get the Moho parked. Went to the Florida Cracker Restaurant for lunch then back home. Tried to install wipers but they are wrong kind! Back to auto parts store picked up right ones. They were twice the price but fit.π
Diane found a toilet "in stock" at CW in Ocala. So we have a plan for tomorrow!
Sunday 9 February 2025 Supper Bowl
A quick breakfast and we are off toilet shopping! π Doesn't sound all that nice, does it? My kind of shopping trip, they only had one toilet that fit our Moho!! Done and out the door! Next was lunch at Campo Azul, oh my, the food was great even had freshly made, at the table guacamole.
![]() |
Fresh guacamole, yum! |
Lunch is over. And "I" got a new toilet. So, to even things out we hit TJ Maxx, Bealls and Rosses shopping for clothes. Not my kind of shopping! π Another stop at the ABC store and we were done. Back to Moho, grilled ham steak for dinner.
Monday 10 February 2025 Yeah Eagles
Started work on the toilet. Removed old toilet, no problem took about 30 minutes. Took it outside and noticed half of the flange had broke off and was stuck to old toilet. Now I have a problem!! I need a new flange. Called Newmar... the flange is "glued" to the pipe and goes directly into black tank. My two-hour job just went to crap! π Long story short picked up new flange and pipe (2 different hardware stores) only to find some of the wood rotted. Had to remove the panel in the wet bay to gain access to top of the black tank. It was hot, dirty and stinky!π I was sweaty, irritated and it was wine time. We had no toilet or water at all!! No showers. No dishes, nothing... Diane was not happy. But we had some wine, showered at bath house and ate off paper plates. Not a fun day.
Tuesday 11 February 2025
Day two! Trying to get the right thickness of flooring proved to be the biggest challenge. I made a trip to Len's for plywood scraps and several items lying around the campground, too thick to thin just couldn't get there! Then Diane solved the problem, her plastic cutting board was just right. π It was almost happy hour time again before the toilet was in place and water turned on. I still had to seal sewer pipe into the black tank then reassemble the wet bay.
It was a long day, but we have to move tomorrow. Had to reschedule out appointment at Cummins from the 12th to the 27th. I can't wait to get rid of the check engine ding.
Wednesday 12 February 2025
Time to move already. New campground is just down the road 20 mile or so. I took the long way just to run the engine and get fuel. Didn't need fuel, but we won't take chances anymore. We arrived at the campground and Diane was guiding me in just like always with lots of trees on both sides. Apparently, the "guys" didn't think she could do it right. Before I knew it three guys were giving directions along with Diane. It was very very tight, but we made it.

Tight but we made it!! |
All settled in with time to spare before happy hour. Burgers on the grill.
We still have a camera set up at the house and at first glance this looked like a 2 headed deer, oh my!!
I'll try to update again tomorrow!
