Day 188, 189 - Seal Rock, etc.

Tuesday (188) - This morning, we headed south to Seal Rock State Recreation Site. This is just a short distance from the campground. We are here right around low tide so the waves on the rocks off-shore is pretty impressive. It is a pretty small parking lot so we needed to wait for a space but that also means that the beach is relatively empty.

We did not see a single seal but there were a lot of birds on the rock with signage blocking access to their nesting area on and around the rock.

Wednesday (189) - This morning, I checked to make sure the roof vents weren’t clogged (they weren’t). The SeeLevel II gauge for the black tank still isn’t working properly. I flushed out the tank several times and some of the flakiness disappeared. This suggests that the tank is just poorly maintained.

Overall, a quiet day. Several visits to WiFi throughout the day to download YouTube videos and see what responses I got from a post on the diesel RV forum.

Later - One of the responses from a retired diesel mechanic is find another shop that is familiar with CAT engines. He said it sounds like they will just keep replacing things until the stumble on a fix...

    1. Not necessarily what I want. Too many mechanics seem to be part swappers...

  2. Of course its not what you want, you want a problem to be properly diagnosed and properly repaired. Its what you would do and its inconceivable that others would shrink to just parts swapping to get it out the door. Hold them accountable as you were held accountable.

    1. Frustrating trying to find a good shop. We did find one in Tucson.
