A Note About RV Challenges

My Dad asked me today about how the RV was doing and I proceeded to tell him about all the great adventures we were having and then I realized he was asking about the RV specifically and how it was mechanically holding up.  I must be getting used to what its like to live this lifestyle because after I told him all the things that have gone wrong he was really worried about us. Its sounds worse (I think) than it really is and I'm beginning to think that it's just the way it is in this RV life. Cassie says that if it weren't RV things I was dealing with it would just be other things like house things or car things or cabin things.  Anyway, I thought it might be worth taking note of those items we've experienced this far into our trip (18 days and 2,467 miles).

We overheated going up Whitebird grade in Idaho, lost function of our electric step in Big Sky Montana, had a tire fixed in Rochester Wyoming, roof leak in South Dakota, lost function of our electric (ironically named "Carefree") awning in Minnesota and we are still dealing with a randomly functioning speedometer and occasional transmission control module issues. We have (so far) figured out ways to work around all of these issues but will be visiting the factory in Decatur IN where we will be getting a good (and I'm sure expensive) service done.  Oh . . and I forgot about the door . . . it doesn't want to shut most of the time.
