Before last weekends trip I topped up the house batteries, was a little embarrassed at how long I had put that little chore off. They took a good long drink and the hydrometer shows all of the cells in the green with equal readings. I like to run the genny for 45 minutes to an hour before leaving with the frig/freezer, converter and water heater putting out a nice heavy load.
I only had to add 25 gallons to top up the fuel tank as the last trip was just 240 miles. Regular was $3.17 but we get 5% back on gas purchase with our Visa so ended up paying about $3 a gallon. The propane tank took about 8 gallons to top up, the 35K BTU furnace keeps us toasty but can really suck down the LP. The coach is loaded with food, fuel and firewood and all I left to do is pack my bag before the football starts. We will be headed to Quartzite (250 miles), first thing in the morning. After Q we'll probably head up to Parker for a couple of days on the river and then back through Apache junction and home. Temps are suppose to be in the mid to upper 70's, we sure love Arizona winters. :B
Hi! I am actually headed to Tucson this Tuesday for a week. Staying at Lazydays on Irvington...bought my Born Free there and they are having a rally. Disappointed to hear that KOA took over the campground...gone is security, etc. Will be anxious to see the differences...looking for good. Hoping for warm weather!
