Our couch in our 2003 Allegro Bus, which is 16 years old, finally needed to be replaced. The original couch was comfortable for a lot of years, but we were really looking for something new, that did not always need to be covered with a couch cover and maybe even had a recliner functionality.
We looked at American Made couches by Layzee Boy, as well as lots of other local vendors. The biggest problem we ran into is that the vast majority of the couches that we looked at were delivered fully assembled. Those could not be brought into the motorhome because the openings into the rig are pretty small. There were a couple of rare instances where we might get the couch into the rig, but then the couch was either way too narrow, or way too wide.
We ended up getting a couch from RV renovation supplier RecPro in Indiana. We are very happy with the end result. Check out our video below.

Tiffany Harris and Niki Donohoe get married - August 24th, 2019
With August of 2019 being one of our busiest months of the year, we made our second venture out with the Allegro Bus to Reno Nevada to join in the celebration of Tiffany and Niki getting married. Tiffany Harris is a friend of Carol's when they both worked at Cal-Fire. Tiffany and Niki met two years ago using Tinder and it has been love between these two ever since.
On Friday before the wedding there was a gathering at 'The Eddy' a hang out spot in Reno where all that attended had a wonderful time and making new friendships and many celebrating by renewing long established friendships.
Niki's step-dad Jay Beesemyer performed the ceremony which was warm but wonderful at the Lavender Ridge farm. The brides were both beautiful and Eric got to serve as the semi-official Videographer of the event. At the end of the ceremony, as the couple were introduced, there was a little fun-drama in the fact that Niki was taking her step-dad's last name as the couples name was announced as 'Harris-Beesemyer'.
Eric and Carol stayed at an RV park called River West RV Resort which allows dogs, regardless of their breed.
Here are some pictures and video of the event.

Karen and Mikes 50th wedding anniversary - August 9th, 2019
In early August, Carol and Eric took the motorhome up to Ashland Oregon to set up their home base during the 50th wedding anniversary for Eric's sister Karen and her husband Mike. This wonderful event had friends and family come from all around the nation and even the world to celebrate this monumental occasion. One of Mikes former students, who was a German exchange student came to celebrate with her husband. This weekend served as a giant three day Wraight family reunion with everyone who could, making the trip.
Marq and Kris, (Karen and Mikes kids) did a masterful job serving as the Masters of Ceremony for the main event on Saturday evening. The main event was bookended by having Mexican food on the Friday evening before, and a BBQ on Sunday evening after the main event. Here are some pictures and video from the event.

Steve Wraights 70th birthday - July 20th, 2019
On Saturday July 20th, Eric made a speed trip down to Long Beach for Steve Wraight's 70th birthday party. The summer has a forecast of being a very busy one, so with some Southwest miles available, Eric decided to make the quick trip down to help Steve celebrate his special day. The Brothers Wraight are all very tight, so they always relish getting together, especially as they get older. Mike was on a Safari with Karen in Africa, but Chuck and Teri stopped by in Long Beach as they made their way home from visiting Scott and Anne in Georgia. As a result, Chuck and Eric got to help Steve Celebrate his special day.
Everyone at the party had an amazing time. The caterer served up some amazing BBQ, the DJ's kept the grove going on, and the magician had everyone guessing. Here are some pictures and video from the event.
