More RV Tasks

Friday - The super reliable rear furnace wouldn’t light sometime last week after working just fine for quite a while including all night. Odd. This morning, I removed the burner assembly, disassembled and cleaned it. The flame diffuser was starting to fall apart but it was still in one piece. I ordered a replacement diffuser and after vacuuming out the furnace, I reassembled it and tested it. It's working again. 

I installed a ladder-mounted pole for our StarLink antenna but haven't tried it out as we are heading back to Bridgeport, TX, in a couple of days so our windshield could be replaced. The pole and mount seem to be sturdy and well-made. All metal with no plastic pieces. I’ll set it up at the next campground. The unknown is whether the StarLink cable is long enough to reach the router from the ladder. I’m bringing a Cat6 coupler and an additional 25’ cable.

The glass shop picked up the RV glass from the shipping company yesterday. Slow shipping as it took almost two weeks to get from Oregon to Texas. There is rain predicted for Monday so the shop is targeting  Tuesday for the installation.

Saturday - The furnace didn’t run last night as in the blower didn’t even come on. The previous problem is that it wouldn’t light. Another thing to troubleshoot over the next few days. Today, I started getting things put away for travel. There must be a hydraulic leak as I had to add oil to the hydraulic reservoir on the engine. 

The basement storage seems empty as a lot of stuff was moved to the shed. 

Sunday - We left before 9am as we had a long-ish travel day planned. Challenges started first thing. Apparently, the dealer neglected to connect the shift lever to the transfer case. So we couldn’t flat tow the Jeep. Bridget drove it to our destination which was over 350 miles north. We are back at the Bay Landing TT park near Bridgeport, TX.
