Well, we spent 10 days in Connecticut doing something we prefer not to do when traveling by RV; we moved out of the RV and into a friend’s house. Then we put the RV into a storage lot. However, we were in the area to visit and say good bye to a good friend who was dealing with cancer. There are no RV parks in a reasonable distance and we had no other alternative. It turned out to be a good way to handle it and the amount we paid for a month in the storage area, of which we only used 8 days, was less than we would have paid for a campground for that time. And our friends were very good to us, cooking on most occasions.
Their dogs and Jordy got along well although Jordy seemed to prefer the food their dogs were getting over that which he normally gets. He also refused to come up to our bedroom one night and he slept with our friends on their bed. The next few nights we had him come to our room but allowed him to sleep on our bed. This seemed to work OK and everyone got a good night’s sleep although we got up earlier than our usual time because of Jordy’s desire to get going. Normally, we have him in his crate and he stays put until we let him out after we get up.
The RV was OK after being in storage and getting its new batteries. However, a problem has returned of it stalling out after about 20 seconds of running and then restarts hard. It did it when leaving the storage lot and then did it again the next morning when getting ready to leave. Geoff is thinking it might need a new fuel filter. He regrets not getting an oil change done while it was waiting on the new A/C unit in Florida. Now it will probably have to be done on site in Massachusetts. He is also going to see if he can get a new belt for the dash A/C compressor. the old belt disappeared during the trip North. We may not need it for a while but we will want to have it by June. Things might be warming up a bit by then. We will also get a spare in case we lose another one.
