A/C cover installed. The cover I got lucky and found a RV dealer that had a used one with a bad hole. Just fender washer it. Only cost 50 dollars vs 250 dollars for new. Grabbed a new fan belt for Beast. Installed this morning easy peasy lemon sqeezey..squeeze... Now to get my truck clean and inspected.

Too far south from where the camp out will be but... You not far and could drive up and hang with me. I did a Google map lookup and figured botched the directions typical California. I'm sure you could make the trip up easier than me coming down that way.

I don't use a GPs in that fashion. I know my North, South, East and West... Me I'm heading south and a bit west. East isn't going to happen anytime soon "yet"...  

@Mopar1973Man, ohio is only a couple inches away from you on the map. 

OMG  Funny though... How about you buy the plane ticket I'll come out. Much easier that the 5 a gallon fuel fees.

@Threadzycould cut sometime off by going over the Sonora or Tioga passes and not pulling a trailer, pulling a trailer over those passes is not advised.  Also, he should check to see if the passes are open.

He hacks GPS's so you end up at his tavern asking for directions. lol

Way to call me out Mike! 🤣

Damn right... 

 

Maybe I should go over the member map and start calling, emailing and PMing. I could make a crowd in a short order. Hmmm. Maybe I should stay quiet and enjoy my vacation. 

Crowd gets too big we'll have IBMobile whip up some pig feet soup. lol

I can throw in some nice tender pig tongue also.  Yummy, good!!

I'm game. Beef tongue burritos are delicious, pig tongue will most likely be similar.

Just spoke with IBMobile.... turns out pigs tongue is actually a wonderful piece of meat, beyond tender.

Yummy.... im going to be waiting.

Mike check your furnace an fridge make sure everything works and sounds good. Furnace should be running a steady exhaust, no strange flutter sound from bugs getting in the burner. Fridge should have a healthy burner with a good amount of sound and not clogged with carbon. At 12/13 years my burner had to be pulled and cleaned with a wire brush. It was burning very weak from carbon build up and would go out all the time. I lost a bunch of food on that trip.

Here in the next few days I'm going to be camping out in my RV. This way I'm packing what I need for the trip and more or less test drive the entire unit. I know the furnace is working great being I've had it on the last 5 days drying the humidity out of the RV. It been down to 35F to 38F every night so I've been using the furnace and the water heater. Fridge I've lit temporary but I'm not level right now. I need to hitch up and move to the hard pack for doing the axle bearings. Too much rain and the yard is super soft right now.

I hope the rain lets up for you soon. It seems our normal weather patterns are back here in Oregon as this April has seen lots of rain unlike the past few years. I am happy about the reduced fire dangers but, not that you can't get after the wheel bearing work. Keep us posted.

I've been busy going through cabinets getting rid of extra weight. Getting it down to just what I need for a trip. This is my 4th day living in the RV.
