Maiden Run for the Weekend
I couldn't seem to get the carburetor adjusted, so we took it to this guy over in Pomerene. He didn't get it right either, but we took it back and he claims that the problem was with a filter at the fuel line into the carb which allowed fuel to slowly drain out of the bowl. Charged me 1 and 1/2 hours labor, no parts.
Today we spent moving into the class C, and mounting a Wilson Trucker's Cellular antenna for the cell phone and our Verizon Air Card. Probably need an amp too, but going to wait to see for sure. They're sorta expensive, but effective.
Tomorrow we are taking it for a couple days to "camp out" at a Coast to Coast park over in St David...about 7 miles! That will be enough of a test to make sure everything is okey dokey before heading out for real. Certain that there are things we haven't loaded, maybe we'll think of them when we're marooned in the park. Things are too easy here in Benson!
Our plan is to take our still unsold Tropi-Cal motorhome to a consignment lot here in Benson on Monday. Same day show my brother George around the Allegro Bus. He has graciously agreed to watch over it and do weekly/monthly things. Thanx Bro! Here's a picture of the Allegro for those who haven't been deluged with pictures of it. Eloise took the picture with her brand new camera! It's a Panasonic with 10 optical/8.2 mps. She likes it so far.
I'll upload pictures of the one we're taking to Alaska next week in our "We're outta here" issue.
