Gas Moneys lol

Monday, January 25, 2010

It is right around the corner from tax season. And i could really use that money on this trip plus I got a call for a two day job for this Friday and Saturday. It would help us big time with gas on the trip. So with all that it looks like we could be on the road Feb 2nd. That leaves two weeks to get to Mardi Gras, and my birthday. I will keep the same schedule but just change the dates. Wednesday the 27th of Jan, the Winnebago goes to get a whole new muffler. So… Continue

Getting back on track

Hello all. Well today is Jan 22nd, 2010. I left off 9 days ago and didn't even Make it two miles down the interstate 85. But luckily we had my buddy Chris with us and after he working his magic, he got us off the side of the road once again. So we had to change the carburetor in the parking lot of Advance Auto Parts. Still just barely made it home. So we replaced the hole distributor, the cap, the fuel pump,and the starter relay. And low and behold It was just the distributor was the problem… Continue

wonderful start to a bad day

Bad start

The day started about the best day of my life. But things changed real fast. As soon as we hit our first main interstate, disaster struck. Trying to get up to speed, the carburetor up to the fast pace of I85. We made it only two and a half miles until we were dead stopped on the side of the road. But luckily our mechanic Chris Cirou saved us once again. He did his magic and made it go 20 miles an hour top speed. We made it off of I85 outside of Pendleton. After… Continue

giving the bago a bath

So hello all. Hopefully we are leaving with in the week. They say it might snow tonight so I got the heat on in the Winnebago. Trying to test the waters i guess. I hope we are going south fast enough to not need the heat a lot. But I heard that this winter might be a record breaking winter. So as soon as we get to Mardi Gras the better. Then we head to Florida as fast as possible. So dealing with the cold is going to be a test for all of us. Until next time

So nothing left other then to clean the winne and collect our last paychecks. Then we are off. Hopefully in the next Five days. So I'll let… Continue

bad starter relay

Hello all. I have been working on the winne today. Went out this morning and tried to start it amd to my surprise it didn't start. Seems that the starter relay is not getting a good enough connection. So we cleaned it off with some sand paper. Still to no result. So I had to go to Napa and order a new one. So tomorrow the winne will have a new starter relay. It seems that every new day, comes a new problem. Hopefully we find all our little problems now and not on our trip. Good news, My friend… Continue
