Yesterday as we were filling the water tank I was watching the control panel that indicated what the various levels were - water, propane, sewer. The propane indicator was at empty. Bob thought it was just the indicator because we had just filled the propane on our way home from the last trip. We tried the gas stove and it worked, so it seemed that Bob was right. But we also tried the heater. Oops. It did not work. We weren't going anywhere without a working heater. So we made an appointment and took it over to the repair shop. They checked and said that the propane was indeed empty. We had a bad regulator. They replaced the regulator. Once they put some propane in, they said that the heater worked fine. However, they did not check part of the propane system because they did not have the proper equipment to do so. so we picked it up and drove about 30 miles to another repair shop. They checked the whole thing and reported no more leaks. They filled the tank. The heater works.
So we did not put up the bikes yesterday or today. That will be tomorrow's job. the really good news is that Bob drove the RV with no trouble and was not even really tired. He says that he will have to stop about every two hours and walk around a bit and rest, but he is fine driving.
It also looks like the weather will be acceptable for the trip. (Fingers crossed.)
I took out all the dry food and all of the clothes. Tomorrow we will put up the bikes, attach the two dolly, and take out the rest of the stuff.
Oh, and the two ladies have agreed to house sit here. So that takes a load off my mind.
I hope things keep going on schedule. (fingers crossed.).
