Christmas 2019 in Vancouver part 1
My doctor's appointment in Vancouver became a visit with the daughter and her beau as well. Of course we planned for an evening in Stanley Park to ride the Christmas train with all the xmas lights. Another night for Van Dusen Gardens.
We were surprised to find out that MSA would pay for the BC ferry trip both ways because of the medical appointment, only $17.50 for the wife, the cats and I were free.Who knew?
We camped at Capilano RV Park next to the Lion's Gate Bridge.
The first night when we set up I put on the propane water heater along with the other hookup jobs and went inside the Rv. After about 20 minutes I started to hear a hissing sound from under the corner bed. Oh,oh! Well you know how many things can hiss and you know it's not good... Gas line, water line, tires, refrigerator, etc. Finally I tried turning on the tap at the kitchen sink. The hissing faded then stopped.
I closed the tap without turning on the water pump and shortly later the hissing was back but not as loud. Along with that sound was the roar of the hot water tank burner from the back corner of the rv. I went out and turned off the heater. This solved the problem.
Of course, we now had another problem- no water! Well,rving is about compromise so we found that if we bled off the pressure after we ran the tap there was no leaking sound so now we open the tap then turn on the pump
and turn off the pump and let the water slow to a dribble.A water bottle for the toilet and we're running manually for the time being.
It's Day 2 so far so good...
