The Quandry

Saturday Pastor George Shafer and his buddy Marvin took some time to investigate our RV. They took apart the starter and pronounced it dead...hope to get a rebuilt one on Monday.

Next on the fix-it list was the bathroom. They conferred with our buddy Bob Leavitt via cell phone and seem to make some progress on the bathroom. They got it to flush properly and I was a bit exasperated because they did everything Lucy and I did. The toilet worked for them them and not for us! It was kind of like calling the TV repairman and the TV works while he's there and then goes on the fritz when he leaves.

We turned on the furnace and the propane fumes filled the coach. You could even smell the as outside the coach in the back. After checking the lines and seeing the pilot line burn orange instead of blue, it was determined that the mixture was off. You could also hear the furnace pop...sounded a bit like popcorn. Gas is heavier than air and lingers and the general consensus was that if we continued to try and use the heater, it was just a matter of time before we'd blow.

Perhaps it's time to get another RV... but what to do with this one? Lord, You are good. We trust You and we seek You direction.
