We left Nashville this morning at 8:14 am CST. We stopped at 10:30 to fill up and have our RV weighed. Wow, are we overweight! We need to toss out more stuff. But now I know what our tire pressures should be. They were overfilled, also.
It was another bright, sunny day for travelling. We picked up some wind in Arkansas, but nothing too bad. We arrived here at 2:45 pm CST and all went well until... wait for it... our levellers wouldn't extend. We had a fault on the passenger rear. I tried all I could think of, and... the fault cleared on that leveller but appeared on another.
I called the leveller company and they had me do a series of tests, then declared they couldn't help and to call a mobile repair service. We called four and each was booked thru the end of the month. Our fifth call and we got someone who said he would be out within the hour.
In the meanwhile, we sat around til around 4:15, and then after playing around for a while with no success, I crawled under the RV to the offending leveller and using my drill and sockets, extended it a 1/2-inch. I then retracted all at the control panel, and voila! No errors! I then chose an auto extend to move all the levellers down at once and again, they worked as designed. I called the mobile tech who was already on his way, told him what I did and that the problem was fixed. I offered to pay for his time, but he insisted otherwise.
Our site at the campground is a heads-in, meaning our front window overlooks the Arkansas River. A beautiful view! I'll take a picture and post it tomorrow.
