A really nice rally, at a really nice park, great Heartland comradeship - I even got to visit with "Comrade Jim B.!!!
Enough can't be said about Guaranty RV of Junction City, and their "over the top" support of this rally. The barbecue steaks were huge and delicious, nice door prizes from them after eating. Guaranty gave us a spiel on their sales capabilities, but for got to mention their EXTENSIVE service and parts operations.
Saturday night a TERRIFIC dinner in the Casino Convention Center the next night. Lots of great Heartland Supplied, really nice, doorprizes after that dinner, too! Between the two Pacific Regional Rallies I have attended, I have gotten back the cost of my Heartland Owners Club 3 years dues twice over already.
On the down side, I had power to my refrigerator and interior lights short out (the LED is lit on the panel) on the trip back into the Sacramento Valley in the 100 degree plus heat. Much worse, I was 30 miles from home after crossing major mountain passes towing 8 tons in the heat, when I stopped to add a little fuel, and the water pump blew out the coolant when I stopped. Sunday evening, again, of course. Thank goodness for Good Sam ERS and their covered big rig tow. There was no one at the repair shop, so I tried to sleep in the trailer, but I didn't feel safe and it was 96 degrees inside at 10 oclock. I am now at the Motel 6 in Woodland, and the truck should get fixed today.
Addendum: Truck was fixed, got trailer to the storage yard and unloaded it. While the truck was being repaired I troubleshot the wiring/refrigerator short down to the P.C. board on the refrigerator. I looked the replacement up on the Dinosaur Electronics website, but could not find that part in stock locally or online thru Tweety's.(Dinosaur no longer sells retail). I did a Google search on the part number and found RV Cooling Unit Warehouse who had it in stock, offered 1 day shipping, and sells the Dinosaur boards at about 45% off of list price.
But to cap the "eventful" weekend, I got home and found my home refrigerator had quit working.
