Well that is good news to hear it might be the gauge giving a false reading. We can live with it either way but Camping World and another RV company have looked at it and both say it probably does have a leak. They say it could be expensive to investigate and might require a new tank so as it will only be a problem if we are in the back country for a while we are going to leave it as it is.
We have had to replace the air con unit so that put a big hole in the petrol/gas budget. Hopefully the weather gets hot enough to need it!
We are undecided about the generator but I think we will live with that one too as both RV fixer men said it might end up expensive to investigate and fix. So far it turns on properly the second time you switch it on and they said it could just be a timing issue. As long as it turns on second time we don't mind it thinking about it first time!
Right now we are in some sunshine and warmer temperatures so we are going to try to fix the window seals. We do need to do something about them because they leak in the rain. If we can't fix the leak we will need to try to get new seals from a Dodge Dealer as Camping World didn't carry them.
One good thing about all this is that we have discovered an excellent website. Thank you all for your good wishes - I can feel the warm fuzzies coming through! Writing about our experience might help someone else and it has also somehow eased our pain. So all good and onwards and upwards. I should say onwards and downwards as we are in Southern Carolina and heading south. We have actually done BC and the Redwoods and Yosemite but thank you for the suggestions and we welcome any ideas for our time in the south. We would like to be in Key West for the half marathon on 19th Jan but have left it too late and all the State Parks in Key West are full. There are camp grounds (not sure if they are full) but they seem pricy. Seems like there is NO boondocking in Key West - can anyone suggest the cheapest place to stay for a couple of nights?
