Blog Update - Sunsets and Repairs

Well the RV Park is pretty empty now of my Snowbird Friends - most have left for home or various adventures traveling in their RV's.

There are still a few of us here and continue to have fun and visit, time for me to get the new RV ready to travel.

Every afternoon - I get a couple PBR's and relax outside and watch the nightly's pull in - we have quite a few travel throughs this time of year and of course Spring Breakers since the National Park Campgrounds are full, we get the overflow. So in that respect the park is staying fairly busy.

I watch for the Sunsets!


One problem I had to fix before traveling was the onboard water pump - this trailer has been hooked to the city water here in the park for nearly 10 years so not sure why the pump failed, but it did and also the onboard tank needed sanitizing before I travel. So it was replace the pump day a few days ago.

Old pump removed!


New pump installed and hooked up!


Water running out of the onboard tank with the new pump!


May have put too much bleach in the tank - running pump to empty and flush - little suds from the bleach!


I have now refilled and emptied the tank several times and the bleach foam and taste is nearly gone...couple more times should do it!

Wanted to mount the TV in the bedroom so decided the easiest was was on the fold down shelf!



My final date for departure is not set - still snowing up Montana way and cold, so will more than likely hang out here into May.

I have to get two new tires for the trailer before leaving so that is my next project!

Stay Tuned!
