Christmas Cottage

Before we ever moved to Anacortes, Laura and I discussed how the Safari could serve as a guest cottage when we needed more room than afforded by our single guest room in the house.  With our side garage door to the RV pad, the motorhome is literally less than ten feet away.

With our son and his wife planning to celebrate Christmas with us, along with Laura's sister, brother-in-law, and niece, we were looking forward to a great get-together.  Laura's sister and family will be using the Safari during their seven-day stay.  In preparation, I de-winterized the rig, switched the refrigerator and water heater over to electric-only, filled the water tank, and heated the space using thermostat-controlled electric heaters.  The propane would remain OFF so as to not accidentally burn a hole in the RV cover via the furnace or water-heater exhaust, since the cover was still enclosing the motorhome.  The basement bays are heated with an electric heater designed to keep the space just above freezing.

Stocked with a collection of hot and cold beverages, along with a variety of sweet and salty snacks, and accompanied by WiFi and two televisions hooked up to the Internet for streaming programming, I figure we have them covered when they need some alone time.

May your Holiday Season be wonderful.

Live well, Laugh often, Love much
