A note from Dave & Bobbi-- enjoy
Hi Jim and Janie:
Just a quick note to say that we made the
trip home to
Ontario with no significant events. We left on the 2nd of
April.....bad idea. Every tourist and old fart with an RV was on the
road heading home from
Spring break and a winter in the sunny South. It was like a
Toronto rush hour
for 500 miles with accidents,
traffic jams and
crowded highways. The rejuvenated brakes did their thing in good form
with several emergency stops and lots of creeping along in slow traffic.
Not a hot wheel to be found. When we got back to
Canada gas prices were $5.50 a gallon ( I use mid grade to
prevent pinging in the mountains). The old darling purred along no
trouble through the traffic and
torrential rains and once back in the old country we got freezing
temps over night. I had to quickly drain and blow out the water system
and find some RV antifreeze! Spring may be here soon?!? I have been
using Mobile 1, 10W30 which is supposed to contain a good amount of ZDDP
but I think it is a little light weight for 65 mph cruising. I used two
quarts in 1700 miles and the pressure runs a bit lower at two needle
widths above the mid mark at 2200 rpm?? No leaks.
We had a great
four months in the
GMC but were pretty happy to have our three bathrooms and giant bedroom
where we could walk right around the bed and get in and out without
climbing over someone....not complaining, just saying. Bobbi is in here
somewhere and I can't even see her, she hasn't been out of sight for
months! I think she is hiding!?
Keeping the dream alive
Dave and Bobbi P.
P.S. The guy who picked up a coach just
after us and had all of the trouble on his trip back to Canada was Ed J.
from somewhere out West. I just remembered his name.
