As we left this morning, our driver decided to take the circuitous route around the campground, rather than the direct route to the exit. Half way around, I heard the telltale sound that told me I'd forgotten to lower the batwing antenna. Got out and looked skyward, and the batwing had taken on a new shape, thanks to a low-hanging tree that now had a haircut.
The gears on the batwing were replaced just before we left on this trip, and now need replacing again. This morning I'd made a mental note to stow the antenna, but got distracted when the hose connection to the macerator pump gave way as I began to dump.
I removed and lowered the antenna and its now-floppy arms. The cable entry through the roof of the coach was exposed, and it was raining. The only sealant I had available was a tube of "marine goop", but this stuff is not meant for this purpose, and each time I applied a large blob, it merely flowed away. I figured we'd eventually escape the rain, which we did. Meanwhile, I have a few more items on my fix-it list.
