Typical trip prep day.

Brought the trailer over this morning to get ready to go on our tour of Utah tomorrow. Adding some water to the tank and flushing out the antifreeze I soon notice water dripping from the bottom edge of the tin near the front. Water in the front storage bay. Turn hose off, take everything out and take a side off the water panel and a threaded fitting from the PEX to the quick connect fitting on the panel is loose. It was loose once before and there's no reason for it. Tightened it back up checked with pressure and no leak. I never use the coiled hose with the quick fitting so I'm going to cap it off when we get back. It's the top fitting with the pipe thread.

Next ran the 12V pump to make sure that's all good and it wouldn't shut off. It's under the stove under a drawer and barely accessible but I was able to reach in and tap it and it stopped. A couple more times and the pressure switch is working again. At least not another leak. A piece of trim fell off in the bedroom last trip got that fixed. One tire was at 52 psi and the rest at 60 so aired all up and just going to watch it. It leaked down over a couple of months. Went to get the propane tanks filled yesterday and one went out of date since last year. Luckily had a spare almost full at home. Always an adventure and happy to be handy. Truck ready to go with fresh oil, fresh grease in the front end and everything else checked out. It get driven little so the brakes are a little squeaky but that will stop.

This is a 3 week trip spending 2-4 days at 8 stops we're interested in. Different than our usual destination trips. Hardly any rain for months but of course some weather is coming in and supposed to be raining tomorrow morning. Trailer is loaded and I'll wait til morning to put the bikes and generator in the bed. And we got a new dog so 3 dogs traveling. We've had 3 for weekend trips but not for a long one. Going to be fun!!

No idea. It did the same thing a few years ago. I know I made I gootentite when I found it before. Thought it was another RV build goof. It’s not under side load, nothing touching it. Resonant frequency thing?🤔

use the stuff, fix the stuff.. like anything else on a RV, if you fix it once, you stand a good chance of fixing it again especially if there isn't any way to change or modify it..

travelling with dogs.. if they are like mine, every time I so much as slow down they start getting excited, thinking they are getting out of the truck.. one of them is so persistent about wanting out of the truck neither beating him or an electric shock collar has cured him

What kind of dorg? Size? Age? Verycute - showing the whites (wolves cannot do this).
 
She’s 9 months old and a rescue from the Ramah Rez in New Mexico. We foster rescue dogs and when we got her in early February it was thought she had a pinched nerve or soft tissue strain in her neck/ back. Found out she had meningitis. We got through some really tough time with her in extreme pain but it got better and she’s such a sweet dog we decided to keep her. She’s cattle dog plus something else for her small size. She should be around 35 lbs when grown. Most Rez dogs have pitty, cheewawa, and shepherd in the mix plus others. She’s extremely food motivated and going to be a joy to train when we get serious. Plan is to get her certified as a therapy dog and visit elderly.

Not impressed with Lake Mead the other day.

She really reminds me of our pooch. Same mixes, just more FUR!

We had the kitchen faucet hose come loose on our old tt. It was 3 years old at the time when it came loose. I guess they vibrate loose after time.
