Friday - On the drive yesterday, we heard a “bang” when a flock of birds flew in front of the RV. I thought we may have hit one with the front cap. Then Bridget noticed a sliver of light at the upper corner of the front windshield. It happened again for the sixth time. We were both pretty discouraged by this.
Today, we are going into Gainesville to meet up with Matt and Kirsten, friends from Fairbanks, for lunch. We will be stopping at Walmart for groceries afterwards and I’m going to pick up some black urethane windshield glue to fill the gap between the edge of the glass and the rubber seal. And, I may try to work the rubber seal a bit with a little heat from the heat gun. The cold weather may have contributed to this reoccurrence.
Florida is still going through cold temperatures. It was this temperature yesterday morning at the Harvest Host and had only warmed to around 41°F when we left at around 10am. We had gone through quite a bit of propane since leaving Hondo with a full tank. In 9 days, we burned through half a tank or about 19 gallons (~$69). We used the heat pump if the temperature was above the low 40s (° F) which shows how much cold nights we’ve had.
The hot tub and pool are open. I didn’t try out the pool this evening but the hot tub was very relaxing. It was around 102°F. It felt wonderful!!!
I'd be tempted to mount an external fiberglass border around the windshield opening....to provide more surface over the rim. Probably not realistic but tempting.
