We departed from Erie, PA at 7:15AM EDT and continued East on I-90. We stopped for fuel at the Speedway in Corfu, NY and ate one of their delicious breakfast sandwiches in the parking lot. We arrived at Beth’s childhood home in Speculator, NY at 1:50PM EDT (340 miles). The campground host (Beth’s brother Dick) promptly met us at the entrance and guided us to our site. Our total distance on this trip so far is 6,559 miles and our overall fuel mileage is 14.5MPG.
We have tray tables that fit in the cup holders (on the armrests) of our theater seats. I love mine for using my laptop and eating grub, but they make it difficult to climb out of the chair because they don’t really move completely out of your way. Additionally, theater seats sit on a ledge (the slide) that is about 2″ above the floor and you have to place your feet out about 4” past the ledge to stand up. I was getting out of my chair one day and lost my balance and fell back into the other seat which had it’s tray table closed and I fell right into the seat and crushed the tray table which is made out of some kind of “waffle wood”. It’s not solid. I crushed it (a lot of people on the internet forums for our RV complain about how hard it is to get out of the theater seats with these tray tables if you aren’t 19 years old). Beth’s brother, who is a master wood worker, was more than happy to build us new tray tables. We went to his favorite wood supplier and purchased a nice piece of poplar. With a harder, stronger wood he was able to modify the design to allow the tray tables to swing out further. Our access to the seats is no longer restricted by the tray tables. Beth applied several coats of polyurethane to the wood and the final product is incredible. He also noticed that we were placing a towel on the center armrest to protect the leather from the tray tables and broke out his sewing machine and created a very nice padded suede cover for the armrest to protect it. We are extremely happy with the results.
