RV Lessons Learned
[image error]
I’m baaaaack….It’s been well over a month since I wrote my last blog because contrary to what I thought I would do while on the road…well, best-laid plans and all that, I never quite continued my blog or did a video blog while traipsing around the country. Today, I’ll list my top ten lessons learned in no particular order.
No matter how new your RV is, shit happens because driving a home on a rolling earthquake creates problems. Before we leave, checking every single nut, screw, and bolt to ensure they are tight is a must. And…every time you stop, shit falls out of the cabinets.
Who knew that one loose bolt could create such a mess of issues?
Cold showers are not refreshing in the south when the temperature drops below 70.
Winds with up to 65mph gusts are f–cking scary.
Golf courses can be a whole lot of fun to spend the night.
Friends and family are lifesavers.
Retracing part of your journey back home has its advantages (more Tippy Creek cider was purchased on the return journey).
The Good Sam Road Side Assistance folks do not come running when your house batteries don’t work and they can’t help you find an RV place to fix that issue.
Adult sex stores are more than plentiful in the South.
I always pack way too much.

Since the above ten lessons are light on details, I have to expand on a few. So, what actually went wrong…a better question might be what didn’t go wrong?

On one of the first nights where we really needed to run the generator and our air conditioner, we experienced a fault in our hybrid solar inverter system. Apparently, air conditioners take a lot of energy to start without something called a soft start (which we will be having installed next month when we travel to AM solar in Oregon). We were supposed to turn the charging off after starting the generator and then we can start the air conditioning.

After that we had a faulty propane regulator, our CO detector kept going off, and the entire house lights, refrigerator, generator, and pretty much everything including flushing the toilet would only work after getting some sun during the day or while driving, nothing, nada, at night even while plugged in. Spoiler alert…this was all due to a loose bolt on the battery bank. Not even a week after having our brand new electronic leveling system installed, we had a hydraulic leak. This caused us to hightail it back to Indiana to have them fix the issue while using bungie cords to ensure the steel pads did not drop during travel.
