Wow, glad your back Paul and Jo to warmer climes.

After that story, I'm now sorry I bitched about a little "cool" early AM interior coach tempswhile we were in Iowa and WI due to our Primus not working.

First we'd like to thank all who responded to our distress and
especially Liz who posted our predicament when we couldn't. 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.
