RE: Day 3 in the RV - I'm Wounded

in #life6 years ago

Oh, the burnt fingers from trying to clean the stove too soon...I wish I would have remembered to warn you of that one! We bought a good shower head and replaced it, but at the very least, take yours apart because there's probably a water-saver device in the shower head. It should help a bit. But if it's anything like our shower, it's just a little small.

In terms of the darkness, we had a light fixture over the table and just replaced the frosted bulbs with clear ones. It made a huge difference.

Funny I was thinking of you today and wondering if you have a convection/microwave in your unit. I hated using the oven, but for the first time in my life figured out how to use the convection oven and it worked amazing! I think in the two years we were there, I only used the oven once.

And I totally get the thrill of finding a good spot to put something haha

Sort:  

There is a microwave as well as a gas oven. In my house I almost never used the microwave. Here I've used it a few times already.

I haven't yet braved trying to figure out the pilot light in the gas oven. Also, it is very hot so cooking hot doesn't sound that great anyway. :) I'll need to make a roast when it gets cooler out.

You mentioned being in Mexico, are you still in the RV or did you move back into normie housing. :)

The microwave we had doubled as a regular oven when I put a metal pan in it and pushed "convection" instead of "microwave". So cool and something I'd never used before. It worked just like a regular oven and no lighting of a pilot light needed. I do remember the first time I lit it, with my head basically in the oven trying to figure it all out haha

We thought about bringing the RV to Cabo but changed out mind and went to the opposite coast near Cancun (Playa del Carmen). Yes, we are back to normie housing :) but there are times we really do miss the RV life :)
