NAS Jacksonville, FL

This is a picture of our very first parking place. It was at the Naval Air Station RV Park, at Jacksonville, FL.

Our first truck was a one ton 1999 silver Dodge, Club Cab with the Cummins diesel and auto trans. We had it for about a year before an igniter  failure stranded us for a week. Luckily the engine was still under it's 100,000 mile warranty and there were no maintenance or parts charges. A few months later we traded it for a new 2004 model with a crew cab and the Cummins with a .410 hooked up to the new auto trans.

When we parked in this spot we couldn't lower the landing gear to get off the truck. The people that hooked it up for us after final inspection bottomed out the motor and burned it out. So the next day I had to tow it to a  dealer to get a new motor installed. It only took about four hours and I was back in the parking spot.
