More Adventures From the Road



Our travels from Savannah to Charlotte/Fort Mill was a smooth ride.
We arrived in camp and set up. When we put on the auto leveling jacks everything was doing fine then it started readjusting...............lifting the tires OFF the ground! Home on Stilts is Not Good, so we tried it again. Same thing happened. After checking with Tech. Assistance we used the Manuel feature. This worked so we don't have a "tree house" motor home.
We are relaxing today at the park and I decided to do a load of laundry. (Great front load washers.) I relaxed outside while the clothes washed reading in the cool morning air of 72. I went in and opened the stopped washer and water gushed out over my feet! I closed the door quickly and pushed the restart button then went back to my book with cleaner feet.

Chris decided to check all the fluids in the RV and found the coolant low. He checked with the front office and of course the one recommended, the camp ground did not carry. The girl working, let Chris use her car so he could to go to a Auto Store to buy the coolant we needed. ( He gave her a nice tip.) Chris packed extra oil for the generator and engine plus transmission fluid, but no coolant! We now have coolant!
Next, Chris checked the tire pressure and guess what...... the back tires were all 5lbs low. We think Lazy Days, when they added the extended stems, only put in 90lbs per tire not 95lbs. Sooooo Chris unloaded the Air Compressor and we filled the back four tires!
Chris had so much energy left that he washed the front window. (He really isn't falling off the ladder, just clowning around. Good thing he has a since of humor!) Tomorrow we keep heading north to Natural Bridge, VA. I'm sure I will be back with more escapades from the RV! PS animals doing GREAT!
