We have had a good trip, only repair (SO FAR) this year was my awning came unfurled part way in the brutal wind, and had to have it taped. Tom wanted me to get someone to fix it. He untapped and got the 4 inches or so of fabric rolled back up. I think the aluminum cover is slightly bent so did not go totally flat, but we put straps on the awning legs and I have an extra set to put on so will be fine. Something for Tom to fix LOL!
Plan on leaving Friday morning, I hope I don't have that wind on the way back, that gets tiring day after day and makes me slow down. I don't plan driving at 55mph very far, I hope, like I had to coming down. Honestly there was at least 2 days I should have parked it, for about 3 days only saw a handful of TT's or motorhomes, smart people, it was not safe, never seen it blow that hard. It was all I could do to get the door open or closed to get in or out and the motorhome was buffeted pretty good when parked.
Next year heading for Florida.
I think Tom and us are going to W Virginia to visit some folks this summer and to Branson, and maybe Nashville, he doesn't mind short trips.
The old girl used no oil on the way out or if it did not enough I could tell, so 2000 miles on it now, will see what it does going home.
They fixed another gauge, it never worked before, all I can figure out it is, is oil temperature, I have engine temp, tranny temp, but don't understand why I have oil and engine temp gauges both, looks like it would be the same, but the oil temp gauge runs higher then the engine?? It just says in the manual see operator manual as these are additional gauges. In that cluster is hour meter for generator, the oil temp, then tranny temp, and air and brake pressure. Elsewhere they say truck people just like gauges, LOL!
Anyway unless the weather gets worse or something off we go Friday.
