Destination: Warm

We headed out yesterday morning to our reserved campground.  Our plan was to spend the first night at a rest area in New York, thereby shortening the 9 hour drive to our first Campground in PA.

Unfortunately, Wednesday, we noticed one of the levelers was not descending.  Jim called the garage and inquired.  We needed to get that fixed, and it was most likely a hydrolic selnoid.  The garage we go to is an hour North from our home.  By the time all was said and done, we were driving by our home 3 hours later into our day on Thursday.  Now we still had another 5 hours of driving to get to that rest area in New York.

About 5 miles out from our Rest Area, the "Check Engine !" light came on.  Then, it went off.  It did this 3 times.  Ending with it on as we pulled into the Rest Area.  The sun was setting.  We had another 1 1/2 hours South to get to our Pilot J Travel Center, where we were going to fill up with Propane.

Phone calls were made, and it was our luck that a Freightliner service area was on our way to the Pilot J we intended to hit this morning anyway.  So, we arrived here at 7:30 a.m.  and they said they would take us in at 9:00.  They will hook up a gizmo wire under the dashboard and it will shoot out the code of the "Engine Warning" that we received yesterday, and they will take it from there.

We had the Coach in at the Freightliner this past Summer for a full maintenance check.  I guess the levelers aren't included in that....who knows?  Maybe the engine isn't included either (sarcasm here)...Jim tells me that the levelers are Winnebago's.  Not Freightliners.

I made a delightful breakfast:  Egg McMuffin.  I got to use this gadget I bought at last summers WIT Grand National Rally in Iowa.  Crack an egg in it, stir, add bacon or sausage (I added bacon bits).  Put lid down, throw in microwave for 1 minute.  I pull out our brand new combination toaster/toaster oven, and put in some Onion Bagels.  Placed the egg on the toasted bagels that had a slice of American Cheese and there ya go!  A V-8 for Jim and Cranberry Juice for me.

Now, we are off to walk Tucker for a good half hour or more while they check the Coach.  Hopefully, it will not be anything important and we will carry on to the Flying J, fill up with Propane, and our destination in PA is only another 2 hours down the road.

We will keep you posted.
