Six days and 1886 miles. Freezing night time temperatures in Walmart parking lots. But all is good. It's 18 degrees outside and pouring rain, which is pretty much the story for the next few days, except for the temperatures won't be anywhere near 18 . We arrived here a day earlier than planned.
The game of chicken with the fuel gauge turned out well, more or less. Although the Unit didn't run out of gas, the generator did. The fuel pick-up for the gennie is some distance above the bottom of the tank so that you can't run the tank dry by using the generator. Two nights ago, it ran for about 2 minutes and quit. That immediately brought back to mind the section of the manual that dealt with this exact situation. The next morning I filled the tank. 110 gallons.......
So did we still have 40 gallons left? Or is the 150 gallon capacity legend incorrect. The next time I'm crawling around under the Unit I'll measure the tank and convert the cubic inches to gallons.....or not.
The take away jewel of wisdom here is, if you want power for the coffee maker in the morning, don't drive 300 miles on empty the day before.
Here's a Walmart sunrise (or was it sunset) in Charlotte, (or was it Charlottesville).
So we're settling in for a nice QUIET night in the Oak Plantation RV Park. The oak trees still have some leaves on them but not for long I think.
