Day 240
​Sevierville TN

Picture
Today was suppose to be an easy drive. The normal routine of packing up and heading out down the road went off without a problem. A leisurely hour drive to our next spot meant everything should go pretty easy. It was already hot and checking into Douglas Dam Campgrounds was a joke. They didn't give us any direction on where to find our spot and seemed like it was a hassle for us to even be checked in. Every single site in this place has a slope which makes it especially hard to park level and get set up. Our spot was no exception. After backing in I needed to wiggle the RV around so I could get it up on some blocks. A momentary lapse in judgement caused me to hit a landscape timber with the front driver wheel. Putting a big dent in brand new hubcaps really pissed me off. Such a stupid mistake.

Things can always get worse. So far this is my second mistake I've made between the last two trips. The first was when I pushed Roo to hard and overheated her in North Dakota, warping an exhaust manifold to the tune of $1,500. Now I drove into a timber and bent a hubcap. Overall not too shabby for 20,000 miles of RV traveling with tons of risk. At least the campground has a good view.

Tomorrow we head into Knoxville to give the town a glance. For now I'll sit here and stew over my mistake and think about how dumb it was.
