Power Predicament

Much to the kiddos great dissatisfaction we have actually been home for almost a whole week and are not headed out again for four more days.  Being home for a stretch did, however, give me a chance to get the power problem in the RV fixed. 
 

Learning The States While On the Road

It appears the capacitor in the converter was bad.  That sentence makes me sound like I know what I’m talking about!  Ha!  And no, I did not say Flux-Capacitor.  Wouldn’t that be neat…a time traveling RV!  Sign me up!! Seriously, what it came down to though, was a part that was still under warranty from some work we had done last year.   Good News!!

 

The unknown at this point is rather or not the generator caused the problem.  To determine the culprit I am waiting to take it to my dad who is brave enough to stick a volt-meter into the generator’s 30 amp outlet.  In the meantime, however, the batteries are charging and all systems (except the generator) are a go.

 

Our next trip is going to be another excursion into the mountains.  My brother and his kids are going to caravan with us and at this point it looks like the vote is leaning toward the Entiat river valley again.  I guess my kiddos want their cousins to see the waterfall and explore the woods and water they experienced a few weeks ago. 

 

If we can just get through one more week of school we will be ready to REALLY get this show on the road!  We are always looking for suggestions and info on new spots.  Leave us a comment and tell us about your favorite camping location.
