Selling Our Truck

Written by tepetravels

Hello everyone!

We’ve been busy with school, soccer, reffing jobs for the kids, and life in general. We are making a couple of vehicle changes as well. We have decided to sell our truck. Fred (what we named the truck), has been amazing. I never thought I would be a truck person, but I love sitting up high and having lots of room.

However, for the apartment/townhome complex we are living in, it is a lot of truck. Fred wants to be hauling tools or another RV, not taking short trips to school and back home again. He’s bored and used to a more glamorous life.

We want him to find a good home. He is up to date on his oil changes, just had a transmission flush, brakes checked, and new tires put on. He has been detailed inside and given a fresh bath. He is looking forward to his next adventure.

You can see our listing for the truck here.

Truck Maintenance, Cheese, & Candy

The truck’s Replace Fuel Filter came on. Of course, having had all gasoline cars before, this was our first time with this particular warning light. I wanted to get this fixed ASAP since we would be driving in the mountains and moving again in a couple of weeks. Now, according to Google, it should have been good until 30,000, but we are only at about 15,000 miles.

I looked on Yelp and Google reviews. The first place I called couldn’t get us in for a few weeks. He did recommend another place to try and I gave them a call. Chuck’s said to come over and he would squeeze us in.

They didn’t have an inside waiting area, but did have a picnic table outside. It was in the sun and the boys got very antsy after awhile. We walked up a couple of blocks to Cheese Haus and got honey sticks and cheese curds. Nick loved the cheese, but Will wasn’t a huge fan of either. Apparently the honey was too sweet. Huh…honey is sweet? Who knew?!

We walked a little farther up the hill and stopped at a candy store. We got a few pieces of taffy for the kids to eat while waiting and I got a turtle. Walking back down the hill, we finished waiting for the car.

I was so relieved to have one thing fixed and off our plate when the truck was done. It was cheaper than the first place had quoted us too, so that was another win!

While we were gone, Ben had reserved us time at the RV park’s pool. There was a nice covered section that we could sit out of the sun. The pool was also nice and warm (it’s heated, plus sits in full sun). We took a few minutes to explore the arcade as well.
