Leaving all to chance, we departed the last Lone Star Bird rally in balmy Texas to venture north to Colorado to relocate an aging Aunt to a nursing facility. That said, the "chance" portion was more than expected in late Oct. Our intended stay was 3-5 days (just before the unscheduled weather) and got extended to 14 days to accomplish all that needed done. Well the weather added some of those days to correct problems created by 15 degree temps. at night and 2 feet of snow making corrections difficult in windy Royal Gourge. First our Primus system wasn't working properly so basement heat was not on. Subsequently our water pumps froze and cracked and the parks water system was turned off for the season. Next a heavy snow took out the common on our 50 amp electric circut. This caused a chain of events to include frying our shorepower transfer switch, the microwave, a TV, one charger, a circut on the inverter, and two GFI's. We were ill prepared to address many of the issues in the weather and limited tooling let alone no supply source. Luckily the zap spared our refrigerator and the other half of the transfer switch. So our generator saved the remaining days and provided heat till we could drive up to Colorado Springs to a great shop that corrected most of our problems. We'll post later on that shops name and address. Needless to say we're glad to be home and express again our appreciation for the support offered from this group.
