Running from the Storm, cont.

Sep. 27, 2019

After a rainy day traveling through the rolling hills of central Wyoming, we made it to the "free" city RV park in Wheatland WY. 








Over the past 5 days we've traveled 1344 miles, not the pace we like to travel!  Here's a map of the route.






Approaching Wheatland it looked like we were outrunning the rain but it caught up with us as we were setting up.  We can stay here for 3 nights and plan to relax and take care of some maintenance. 

Leaving Kelowna BC, we discovered that the power tongue jack on the camper would extend but not retract. 




Not a show stopper, there's a manual override.  We picked up a new jack this morning and it "should" be an easy install tomorrow.  

The forecast is high winds but no rain and low 80's by Sunday.  Tuesday the high is in the 40's, time to move on.

 The other little wrinkle is the slideout won't go out.  One side starts to move but the other side appears to be stuck.  Also not a show stopper, we can function with the slideout in, all be it a little tight. We discovered that two nights ago.  There's a few things I can check but if that fails I have an appointment for service next week in Longmont CO, north of Denver.  

Every time we put the slideout in or out, I hold me breath, almost expecting it to fail in some way.  The slideout cloud hangs over the head of almost any modern RV'er.  Oh well, as we often say,  it's all part of the adventure!
