We had fresh water in the holding tank and it took about 4 gallons to refill the tank and cool down the engine. I was careful the rest of the way to our next stop (150 miles) and watched the temp guage quite often. By the time we pulled into the KOA the coolant level was quite low again, but no beeping. Since it was Sunday and the Cummins dealer was closed, we just parked and went about our touring and sightseeing.
Monday I called Cummins in Albany (60 miles back up the road) and made an appointment to have them check it out on Thursday morning. They had an electric hookup so we headed back there this afternoon and checked in. I determined that there was a pin hole leak in a hose and it was spraying on the hot engine, so nothing dropped to the ground. When I explained what the problem was, the service guy said he would try to get us in today. Well, he was true to his word and the repairs were made and we were on our way.
We are camped along a river in Bainbridge, NY at a Passport America campground. Great price, but not so great of a campground. Narrow road and difficult to get into sites. Plus, the electric and water post is in the front of the coach and the sewer hookup is in the back. Different, but doable since I have a 25ft long 30amp extension cable and the site has 30amp service. It's very cool outside so we don't need a/c and the clothes are all washed, so it will work fine for us.
The weather forecast for tonight is a low of 48 degrees. May have to pull out the long johns if it gets that cold. Brrrrr!
Nothing much exciting or interesting to blog about today, but that is how it is sometimes when you are traveling. Now to make sure the river doesn't rise and we will be in good shape.
That was our not so exciting day, how was yours?
Well I left the Boston area at 4:30am Thursday with a plan to drive the entire way home. I hit a ton of road construction, 1 minor accident, a very bumpy 84 and some topless sunbathers but after 875 miles, 14.5 hours and 3 stops I was home! Nothing like your own bed. BTW if you are coming down 81 to go back to the cabin mile marker 81 (north of Harrisburg) had a 8 mile backup. They have a detour set up to take you down Hwy 22 and it was worth it...just follow the "red arrows".
