Default Trip from hell

After spending the last two weeks getting everything perfect on the truck, the demon of mechanical breakdown got to work. The generator started hunting for an idle, so I went outside to check it out. I started sounding like a dirt bike, winding up way too high. So obviously I turned it off. Well, the nest morning I went to Camping World to have them look at it. Yikes! hillbilly hell. "I never seen anything like that before". after two hours of telling then what to do, we discovered that the generator was whizzing 177 volts on the 110 feed. I figured I could still plug in when I got to Floridia......yea....but the electric toilet was cooked by the 177 volts. At least the RV resort has clean bath rooms next to the space we are in. Speaking of which, the one good thing is Tropical Palms RV resort in Kissimmee, FL is truck conversion friendly, and a nice place to stay.

Anyhow, I still have to get back to Ohio...Cross your fingers
