Where Are We Today
In
my last post, I talked about our " Blue Boy" ( which from now on I'll
call our honey wagon, because ours is really grey, not blue) and how I was
making it easier to dump without spillage.

I
also ordered a macerator or RV Waste Pump from Camping World, which arrived
promptly by UPS. After following the instructions for wiring, I went to attach
it to the trailer dump connection ( this a four pin twist on devise) all four clips
on the RV Waste Pump snapped off.

The
air got blue for a few seconds and that was the end of that. The next morning I
sent an email along with pictures to Customer Service at Camping World stating
what I had done and asking for advice as to getting it replaced. Within a couple
of hours, I received an email from them apologizing for any inconvenience, and
stating they were sending another email with a prepaid UPS shipping label. When
it is picked up by UPS and the tracking number shows it is transit, they will
send out a replacement within 2-3 business days. My return was picked up Friday
morning on the 19th of January, so I am hoping that on Monday, I will have
notice that the new one is on its way.

On
Saturday we attended the Quartzsite RV show, a must when you are here, the thousands of people who make up the
jostling, elbow knocking, people standing in your way crowd and organized chaos
that goes along with any event like this, man you got to be in your glory.

| Old generator |
Last
year when we went to the show, yes we came back for a second time, we found
items that we would like to have for our RV, one being a new generator. The one
we have is a Champion 3500 watt construction generator, you know, the noisy
one. After looking at several over the past year, that would fit the criteria that
we set for our needs, we planned and saved to purchase a new one this year. The
Champion 3400 inverter generator is what we bought.

The
gentlemen at the Champion booth, said they would get it ready for us by taking
it out of the box, putting in the oil and a little gas to make sure it ran.
When we were ready to pick it up, we just had to drive the truck along the
outside of the fence and they would lift it over to us and right into the back
of the truck.

While
that was being done, we walked back into the big tent to browse some more. We
bought one more item for the trailer, that being a new outside light. Our
friends Pat and Rob, showed us theirs last year and we thought it was a good
idea. The light acts as a outside light or motion sensor light. When you first
turn it on it acts as the motion sensor light, turn the switch off and back on
it acts as an outside light.

Today
I installed that light on the trailer. It works well and gives off a good
bright light.

| Applying sealant around the new one |

| All done |
There
you have it, and as Ken and Shirley said, I was to get on the ball and do a
post to satisfy their curiosity.
When
the new macerator comes in and I have it up and running, I will let you all
know.
We had a bit of excitement for the second time in the last two weeks, as police, sheriff, fire rescue and ambulance raced to the back of LaPosa South LTVA, don't know what happened, but they left without flashing lights.

Thanks
for following along, welcome and read all comments, until the next time take
care and be safe.
