New Sun Shade - Sept. 20th 2018

A couple years ago, we had asked the RV park management to repair the cracked concrete at our site. Admittedly, it was a trip hazard, but we were not prepared for the eventual chain of events that would take place.

The cause for the concrete cracks was the fact that the root structures from one of the large trees in our yard had caused the concrete to heave and crack. When they removed the old concrete, they hacked up the roots to lower them and then poured the concrete. Well, the Lye in the concrete mix was absorbed by the roots of the tree and started to kill the tree. With the tree gone however, we lost a lot of shade on the front of the motorhome.






So, Eric built a sun shade to help keep some of the early morning sun off the front of the motorhome. No, it's not near as nice as a tree, but it does help. And also, Eric was able to re-purpose the 'Mining' lights that we had purchased a few years back to help illuminate the area at night.



We sure miss our tree, but this solution sure does help!

Safe Travels all!
