Well, I'm ready to go. The truck is fixed, the fifth wheel is ready,the Pentax equipment is ready.

I got my truck back and I've been practicing parking this rig. I'm ready to go. There is only one problem...after paying my deductible for the truck, I'm really broke. I had other unexpected expenses as well.  I won' be able to go camp this weekend. 

I'm dying to go take some pictures. However, I have to tell you that I'm starting to worry a little about the Ricoh /Pentax aggregation. I have been a Pentax user for all my adult life and for the first time, I am a little anxious about what's coming next for Pentax.

We seen the introduction of the K-30 quite a while back, and the K-30 is not a revolution. We should have seen some new DSLRs or Mirror-less cameras by now. Ricoh have introduced one new camera, but I'm not much of a Ricoh fan per say.

I'm sure Pentax will introduce something fantastic down the road, but it's taking an awful long time. I really would love to see Pentax back to it's previous glory time of the 60's and 70's. 

Dear Pentax, Please announce something great soon, before we lose more Pentaxians.

Progress repairing my F350 so that I can get back to traveling and shooting more images with my Pentax equipment.

 Hi Photographer friends,

My favorite truck ever, has been in the shop since this past Monday. I went to see it today and they allowed me to take a few pictures with my cell phone. It will be painted tonight and unless they can't get the new bumper and bed rail guards, I should have it back by Monday.

I would have preferred getting it Friday (and I may) otherwise I can't travel to picturesque destinations for this weekend and use my Pentax equipment. I could always take pictures, but it's definitely more fun when you can go with the Fifth Wheel Camper and be there at the best time of the day. It's called the golden hour and it's 1 hour before sunrise and 1 hour after sunset. Read more about the Golden Hour here.

I want to get back to this!

Thanks for reading,

I did it. The biggest sin in RVing with a fifth wheel. I am documenting the fix with my Pentax K-5 and my iPhone.

Yes, I'm guilty as charged. I held this to myself for over a week. I was told many times to never rush while hooking my fifth wheel to my Ford F350 dually. I rushed and it happened...I dropped the fifth wheel on the bed of the truck. That has a tendency of ruining someone's weekend.

If that weren't enough, someone stole my center caps for the front wheels while I was having dinner at Windy's before checking in the RV park.

It didn't stop there as this was my first outing with the fifth wheel and I can tell you that it's a totally different approach to back-up a fifth wheel in comparison to a travel trailer. So I became "The entertainment of the campground that night.

Fortunately, all is good as the insurance will pay for it all. I will photograph the daily progress and use my Pentax K-5 to do so.

Stay tuned.

More of the story and the repairs tomorrow.
