Oh, it is soooo good to be finished with the warranty work on the motorhome and to be in a nice campground. We could see the shine of the ocean this afternoon through the trees and you can hear the roar of the waves as they come to shore. We're a short 3 minute walk from the beach. We just have to be careful crossing US 101, but we can see for miles in each direction.
The coach looks fantastic and we believe everything is working correctly. The fuel gauge tank sensor caused the technicians a few headaches and the next 150 mile trip will confirm that it's working as expected. For the last 120 miles the gauge is still pegged at Full. It was expected that it wouldn't move off the Full mark for at least 100-150 miles, but it needs to move to indicate when we are getting low on diesel. What's the saying? If I have checks in the checkbook I must still have money to spend? If the gauge always shows Full, do we still have a full tank? NO! Anyway, Guaranty RV is aware of our overly cautious concerns and asked us to continue on our trip north. If after the next 150 miles it still doesn't move off Full, we will deal with it.
The best part of staying put almost 4 weeks at Guaranty RV were the many nice, new friends we made. So many people were surprised that we had been there so long and we were still in a good mood. We knew it would do no good to get stressed, angry, or upset, and we think our positive attitude rubbed off on others also waiting. We enjoyed sharing stories and talking about fulltime RVing.
However, I've been wanting to spend some time on the Oregon and Washington coast before starting our Montana fishing and we are finally here! We'll probably be on the coast until the end of May when we start across Washington.
We've had a very busy and active Thursday and Friday, but I'll have to tell you all about it next time. We've got some nice photos to share also. Thanks for stopping by to check on our happenings!
