We needed to go shopping for the month and unlike those that just jump in the car and go to the mall we have to cross the Siskiyou Pass and into Medford Or. 50 miles north of us to shop. Nearest places in California are in Redding Ca. 100 miles south.
My wife drove and I got to be a passenger all day. Our first stop was AAA RV in Medford. We are having trouble with the water pump switch on the stove vent hood. So are using the one in the bath room now. Got a new switch cost $2.74.
Then across the street to the only Chevy dealer under 100 miles from home. Picked up 4 of the rubber bumpers for the doors on our 2000 Chevy. 1 was missing and two were just hanging. We try to be careful when we put the cover on the out side of the windshield because the strap goes under the top one on each side. Guess we took one off with the cover at some point. The plastic holder that holds the hood rod is broken and they did not have one. So got the number and will drop by the local Honda that was once our Chevy dealer (they can no longer look up parts as its all on line) and they will order it and I can pick it up here.
Then off to do some shopping at several shops and picking up the things we needed. Last stop Costco where we filled with fuel and picked up a bunch of stuff. Loaded the fridge and freezer and stacked lots in the motorhome.
Had a great lunch in the motorhome. Got some time on the Generator and AC. And crossed back over the Siskiyou pass in 100 degree temps. Happy to say the 7 mile 6 - 7 percent pull with the truck AC running did not make the temp gage move much. Engine fan kicked in a couple times but never to long. We run only the truck AC and open a vent in the back of the motorhome. It pulles the Cool air thru the motorhome and the temp inside at the back in the kitchen was 75 degrees when we got home. Not bad for a 100 + degree day.
Great trip Perhaps my wife will let me drive next time. Grin.
