I can sit here now and tell you all about our 1st RV There Yet? shoot without my blood pressure rising, ha! Let's back it up about 2 weeks when the refrigerator in our rig quit working. We knew we would be on the road for a little over 2 weeks, carrying extra supplies due to crew meals, etc., so refrigeration is a key factor. Our phone call went in to our mechanic first sign of fridge troubles. He ran right over, spent entire weekend diagnosing and finally fixed the issue. I was ecstatic! Knowing I had a freezer and refrigerator might seem like a little thing to most, but it's my world. Probably 70% of why we got an RV in the first place is so we could control our food and have our own meals. So, when the next morning came around, and Kevin went out to phone in fridge and freezer temps to the mechanic, only to find it wasn't working again, you can imagine my frustration and blood pressure. Long story short, we need a completely new fridge unit and there was no way we would have one for this trip. Ugh!! Kevin immediately went online and bought a portable freezer so I could at least keep my meat and prepped meals frozen. The rest we would keep in our two YETI coolers and keep icing. Seriously, UGH!
Nonetheless, we forge on and stay excited about the trip, the opportunity to explore and meeting up with our favorite people to travel the planet with, the Burchs! The trip out to location went smooth and incident-free. We arrive at our pre-production spot on time, eager to see everyone. Our production crew is flying in from around the US, and when they arrive on location, one of them has food poisoning. This is no bueno! We have an early morning crew call to begin filming, and the poor fella is laid up in a hotel room trying to keep anything down and rally by morning.
