Where are we today ?
Our day started perfectly, warm sunny and we anxious to get on the road slowly. Only have a 90 minute drive so no rush. Walkabouts and stuff. Pulled our coach out to hook up the car, opened the door and electric step broke! Hm same part I replaced 7 years ago. Well hooked up the car I a fired up our generator to exercise it while on the road. Ran a few minutes and quit, would not start again Hmm... |
| Our site this morning nice and quiet here |

| huge farm machinery on the road |

| perfect day for a drive |
Got setup and checked the step again, ordered the part, should be here next week. Checked with Pettigrew's Garage in town and will take our coach there next week for service, oil change and brakes. Then visitation at the funeral home here for a dear friend who had a massive heart attack only 54 years old (so sad).
Back home Suzie headed off to pick up her mother to take to the Mennonite Relief sale in New Hamburg for the friday night auction. Nephew Greg is an Auctioneer and is auctioning there tonight. While she was gone I investigated our Onan Generator problem. Looks like the fuel pump again. No fuel and the pump does not run. We just had it replaced in Quartzsite this year. 90 day warranty and its passed that now. I have a few more things to check but looks like I will be replacing that fuel pump again. They say bad things come in threes and I believe that because thats what happened today. We here for a week and hope to get those issues resolved. Looks like we will be busy.
While Suzie was gone I had some leftover fish and noodles for supper, no need to cook tonight. That make you happy Paul Dahl?
The Relief Sale again tomorrow and I will check it out for a while, think Suzie spending the day there with her mother. I have my work cut out here.
Thanks again for stopping on by and hope you had a wonderful day to, with no repair issues to deal with.

Well, talk about facing some RV issues...! Hopefully the stair fix up will take little effort and that your new fuel pump will sove the Onan generator issues. Sheesh!!!! That's life with anything mechanical, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThats just the way things go, the issues will be resolved and we will be on the move again.
DeleteLooks like your turn for breakdowns. Hopefully no problems with the repairs.
ReplyDeleteIf it breaks it can be fixed just a small matter of time and money.
DeleteSorry to read about the RV issues. How strange doe that fuel pump to out out agin so soon. Hope your day is better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteEveryday is good, just some better than others, fun times tomorrow.
DeleteYou will have those RV issues fixed up in no time George...it is a machine!
ReplyDeleteIt was built it will beak down eventually, then just fix it and carry on.
DeleteThings do come in threes. Hopefully, these will soon be behind you. We had a step problem last year and had that fixed. Can't believe everything starting falling apart on the same day. We hate problems whether they come in ones or threes. Threes are way too many. Tomorrow will be better!
ReplyDeleteYep tomorrow is a fun day!
DeleteWell at least you still have a bed to sleep in.... From there its all down hill....
ReplyDeleteYep we have a very nice bed and a wonderful house too, just needs a bit of fixing.
DeleteWow, I guess they do come in 3's. I hope it's behind you and your back on the road safely.
ReplyDeleteWe will get it done, can't have a broken house.
DeleteWell at least you have a week to get things fixed up, hope none of it is too major or costly.

It won't be cheap but it will be reasonable.
DeleteThat's what I say, things happen in three's, some more expensive than others. It is a house on wheels and there are bound to be things that need to be worked on. On the bright side, they are all fixable and it really could have been something more major.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure could always be worse, we will get it done.
