Wow - we went almost 24 hours without a crisis! On our last morning in Memphis, we noticed that the coach seemed a bit quiet. Sure enough, all the electrical systems were out. No power was getting into the coach at all. This was a serious problem, since we both needed our morning coffee.
We had no choice but to pack up and move on, though, since we're on a schedule. We wound up in Effingham (nice town - nothing to do - no attractions listed). BUT we found a mobile RV Tech who came out that evening and wired us up enough to give us power.
It turns out that the guys who installed the main electrical panel in the coach graduated at the bottom of the class from the El Paso School of Road Maintenance (see previous post). They put the panel in the only area in the coach that is guaranteed to be wet most of the time: the area where the sewer and water connections are. Needless to say, the system shorted out and voila..... $300 bucks later and we were sipping coffee thanks to a jury-rigged electrical outlet.
The fun just keeps on coming......
Scooter racing
After parking for the night, we'll still have time for a little racing
