On the road again

This morning we said good by to Ron, Julie and Byron. Byron helped us fill up our propane tank, and then we started down the road to Durango and then west to Cortez and finally into Utah. The coach behaved well until a sensor light came on to tell us that we were low on water. I checked the radiator and put in a small amount of water, and the light would not go off. We called Freightliner, and they finally suggested that we had a bad connection on the sensor and that we could jiggle that, and all would be well. This plan works only if you can find the sensor, which was not located where they told us it would be. So, we listened to the sensor squawk at us for miles, occasionally stopping only to get recharged and squawk some more. Finally after I had taken my hearing aids out, Foxy suggested ear plugs. They worked, and the sound could be ignored, mostly. We decided to find a Freightliner dealer and have him look for the sensor. About 40-50 miles from the dealer, it quit. Go figure. So we did not stop at the dealer but continued to Salina, Utah where we are parked for the night. What next you ask? We do, too!

I am considering a gun and shooting the motor coach if there is a next. Just kidding. Happy travels. The other unanswered question is will it squawk tomorrow? We will let you know.

Drive safely! I was so glad to hear all about Durango, Silverton and area; we sure enjoyed that when we visited!
