Above and below, views of Monument Valley from our campground.
Here it is, the good, bad and ugly of our summer adventures.
1. Left LHC May 29th, returned September 12th; 107 days on the road.
2. Towed the RV 3358 miles.
3. States visited, in order: CA, OR, ID, UT, CO, UT, AZ.
4. Upgrades:
A. 2nd A/C unit. Now we're ready for the hot Midwest next summer.
B. Top of the line toilet, old one leaked.
C. TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system).
5. Casualties:
A. One RV tire.
B. One microwave fuse.
C. One converter? Jury still out.
D. Two RV batteries? Ditto.
6. Biggest oops: not checking the surge protector lights when plugging into friends 30 amp outlet. The outlet had reversed polarity which blew the microwave fuse and may have toasted the converter and the two house batteries.
7. Biggest challenge: moving in the 3 slides, and raising the jacks and landing gear when the RV batteries were totally discharged at the North Rim. Problem solved by plugging the RV pigtail into the truck with truck idling and s-l-o-w-l-y moving slides in. Then had to wait 30 minutes for batteries to recharge enough to raise landing gear.
