Head West not so young Man

Maybe I could write the cost of this whole trip off as research for the next great American novel. Finding the True American Tractor or some such silliness.
Sell a hundred copies for a penny apiece to helpful TBN members, and then gosh, guess I took a bit of a financial bath on that. Oh well, not all endeavors are profitable.
It's that IRS rule about some reasonable expectation of profit that might hang me up...

I'll pre-order a copy, so now you'll have no trouble with them.

Not sure your system is the same a friends that was having problems with his jacks. Manual called for turning off system after all jacks were retracted. If system was not turned off. Alarm would sound after a few minutes if system was not shut off.

No Don, I changed that map to include a trip down to Port Aransas, want to compare Texas shrimp to New Orleans shrimp...

thanks Ron. The software operating this system is pretty kludgey and seems to get hung up a lot. Like having to reboot a buggy computer...
I think part of the problem was that I tried to level the rv out in front of my home, which is on enough of a hill that it lifted the back wheels off the ground slightly.
Then the system times out when it doesn't get done in the allotted time. And then one is pushing reset buttons like mad. Problem is once it loses its brain, manual operation is out, it won't allow it. Its way or the highway...
I'll figure it out, nothing is leaking at least. It is annoying that Winnebago hid the controller board for the pump; but then I've owned boats and am well familiar with trying to get to important stuff that is jammed in a hole or spot no one ever considered working on once installed.

Made my last errand run, got a haircut for the trip, and now have a lot more last minute stuff to pack. Like underwear. Can't forget the Hanes...
I went to Bed Bath and Beyond this morning to buy more bins for the pantry shelves, boy is that place expensive. No wonder I like Amazon. But they were close...

this afternoon, as the sun is trying to peep out, I hope to get the rv washed. It only stopped raining a little while ago. I have a few bug splats on the windshield that will take an extension ladder and a scrubby to get off. I think a few of them had epoxy in their blood. I am packing a small lightweight aluminum ladder, so I can clean the windshield a lot more times I'm sure.

Hehehehehe, that's a good one - epoxy blood - yep, some of them bugs would sure make good glue! Ye have to contact me when ye come by Columbus, MS! Oh, and in Hattiesburg, eat at ... what's the name... oh me, I cain't remember nary a thing! Oh, Crescent City restaurant! That's it! Great New Orleans style food! Right off I-59 at Hwy 98 exit when headed south, exit, then go left on 98 about 1/2 mile, on ye right.

Try taking a pic of the level control thingamajig and maybe you can send it to Winnebago. Hope you get that straightened out. Oh me, ye leave tomorrow? Right? Ye got to post pics of ye rig right before take off! I just love road trips that aren't for work!

you know, I'm in my sixties, and washing an entire motorhome and the car behind it reminds me all too much of my old boat, which was 51 feet overall, or
within a foot or two of this combo. A bit much... So now that's it's clean...just for you Mac, plus someone suggested I put some flowers in the window and I did, like that cartoon, though it didn't show very well in the pic.

more than a few more miles before i sleep but I'm coming down to the home stretch. Have a whole list of stuff to do at home tomorrow morning, unplugging power strips, pouring a little bleach in the drains...whatever is in there is going to sit for three months.

note the slope of the road. Likely a degree or two too much for the levelers and I got them confused. My first stop tomorrow at Gettysburg Campground should be very level.
Am hoping it works without an issue.

Safe Travels.
