I will get the Yukon and I am very excited about a number of things I have ordered &#8230; mostly some RV items that I have been researching:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Water purification system to replace my &#8220;can and pump&#8221; setup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beefier waste hose, connection and tank flush system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better Surge and Power protection and monitoring system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vacuum sealing setup for meat\/fish storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General supplies that are easier to just order than run around finding!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it cools off a bit, I want to look into consolidating my Bigfork &#8220;house&#8221; storage and the Yukon storage &#8230; and\/or buying a tow vehicle. This will likely not happen during this time in Columbia Falls but I at least want to think about it, look at the stuff and maybe make a preliminary decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as always, I hope\/intend to enjoy each day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emmett and I will walk at River&#8217;s Edge and Whitefish River Park and Wayfarer&#8217;s when we go to Bigfork.  I need to go to the eBike shop and have them look at my front brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have not been off the Rollins RV park premises since I arrived last Saturday &#8230; a lovely time in a beautiful spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\"
