• Our Camping Trip

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Sunday, June 06, 2021 23:34:10
    My wife and I have on the road since Wed the 2nd. I am happy to report that when I
    originally hooked the car up to the motor home, it DID charge the hybrid vehicle starting
    battery. That was a big concern of mine. I didn't want to have any more incidents
    where I had to jump start the car after travelling long distances.

    The other thing I worried about was the 'check engine' light coming on, and the coach
    not being able to accelerate very well after it came on. It turns out that the 'water
    separator' was defective. Diesels don't like water mixed in the fuel. I am currently
    getting the full 400 HP I should get. We have already traveled some huge inclines in
    Tennessee, and all seems well.

    Tomorrow we will travel to Ohio for an overnight stay until reaching Michigan the
    following day. Should be an uneventful trip. Looking forward to seeing my 95 year old
    mother when we get there.

    Although we will be camping, that is really secondary. The real reason for the trip is to
    see friends, family and whatever sights we can along the way. But, it is nice to be in our
    own bed, use our own shower, and listen to Sirius along the way. Currently listening to
    Sirius Channel 5 'doo wop shop'.

    Glad you got it worked out!

    I especially like 50's on 5 on Sunday nights. The program is 'The Doo Wop Shop'.
    All the greatest songs from the 50's!
