Today’s route was only 172 miles, but unfortunately it felt longer. Paula and I determined that our RV will only charge the coach lithium batteries when we’re plugged into shore power. When we’re driving or when the generator is running, the batteries are not being charged. We suspect a relay/solenoid has failed from the chassis to the coach batteries, but we’re a bit stumped. Tomorrow we’ll try one more thing, and then put a call into Thor.
We arrived at our Harvest Host overnight site, Canyon Creek Brewing, that we realized we had stayed at in 2018 on our cross country trip. Then we decided that we should go to the local KOA so that we could have shore power to recharge. Darn! Not money we wanted to spend.
Thankfully Tam & Deb had unhooked their Jeep from the motorhome, so they came to the KOA to get us so we could all enjoy a brew and an exciting round of Five Crowns. Of course I lost famously, earning over 100 points more than the closest other competitor; low score wins. Ah well, they got all the wild cards!
On their way to pick us up, we all watched the skies get darker and darker. Just after they picked us up, the heavens opened up for a short hail storm. This was a first for Tam & Deb. Not one they would prefer to repeat.
So far on our trip we have traveled from Sequim to Vantage, Wa to Cataldo, Id to Three Forks, Mt to Billings, Mt. Here’s the map… Tomorrow it’s on to Gillette, Wyoming.
Hey gals, sorry about the snafu on your batteries. I’m sure it’s a crazy setting and hopefully you can get it fixed. I used to worry about hail because of the damage it can cause to RVs. I’ve seen some really dimpled ones. I would consider stopping under an overpass should you ever run into a bad one on the road. That was always my plan, but never had to do it. Drive safely and continue to follow your dreams. Thanks so much for the BD call. Really appreciated it. Hugs all around, Barb
