After a trip to the Black Rifle Coffee Co. We headed into Savannah to see what was going on. I found a parking spot by the river and we hopped out for a tour of River St.
We did some shopping at the Savannah Bee Company purchasing a block of raw honey comb (I had no idea the was was full of protein) to go with our cheese plate that evening, The Black Dog Company purchasing some t-shirts, and a local artisan shop where I bought some cards. It was a lovely day for a walk and we can’t wait to come back and do the Hop on Hop off tour.
Christmas Eve day turned out to be an interesting day given the night before was pretty cold! Coldest here in about 20 years apparently. Water froze in the whole park, so we had no running water and I was a tad panicked as our water pump in the RV was also not working so couldn’t use onboard water from our fresh water tank. So what does an RVer do when they don’t know what to do?? You walk around the park checking to make sure you aren’t the only one without water. You then go about asking how to get water flowing again. You unhook everything and pack up and pull in the slides so you can go fill up the propane tank to run the furnace all night. You speak to the RV repair guy who is also getting propane to see how to avoid a second night of disaster. You listen to the great advice, and go to the local hardware store for supplies only to find out everyone else is doing the same thing and what you were originally looking for is no where to be found. So you get a huge roll of reflective bubble insulation and Magiver your way to success !
I wrapped the water source, which is covered by more reflective insulation, and made sure the winter hose was working. I also put this in the storage unit that houses our pump and water system coming into the RV. I wrapped our filters also inside this storage unit to keep them from freezing. I turned OFF the water outside (even though it was wrapped) and power filled the fresh water tank to make sure I had water on board. I then went to dry camping (meaning not using city water but tank water) and turned on the tank heaters and water pump. With the furnace running all night, which also keeps the floor warmer, all was good and the pump worked smoothly. VICTORY!
Christmas Day we got up walked the fur babies, had Prosecco and orange juice and hit the hot tub !!! People thought we were crazy Canadians, but it was not THAT cold outside!
Dinner was BBQ Tenderloin, lobster tails, potatoes and mushrooms. And of course a bottle of Alamos to wash it all down. We followed this up with the movie Spirited. Overall delightful!
Boxing Day brings us to Tybee Island. An hour away, it is a beautiful coastal Island.
