I made too much food and I can't eat all of it now. I am going to have to throw away some lasagna. Got the rest of my nice sweet sauce frozen so I can have a decent angel hair pasta dish on the weekend.

Then it will be back in service and ready to rock and roll till christmas.

It feels nice to chat online, sockless, with the fan swirling above my head in a nice comfortable environment.

No car alarms chirping, barking dogs, people bumping tunes right next to me, or drivers coming up to me asking how many miles i've been running.

Now in Dallas at the TA in RockWall. Had one run cancel that was perfect. :( Nothing but garbage and stuff that we could not take since.

Let's see, the APU won't cool, the AC in the sleeper went out and the refrigerator is broke. Why do I bother? :eek:

with your on going problems, sounds like you just need to rip it all out and have it rebuilt the proper way...this patchwork of repairs is costing you big time...

I know...not a lottery winner....

Yep, it does need rebuilt. I won't make the needed snide remarks about those darn socialists that built it!!! Alumi-Junk sucks!!!

So far I have found two burned wires on the switch panel. Now I have to get under the bunk and look for problems there. It is only 85 in the bunk. :mad:

oh you mean the AC that just went POP...SSsssss a couple hours ago...*LOL*

must of blown a line...


No, the fan cut out. I don't know if the AC works or not. I checked the panel. Two burned wires. NO bad wires under the bunk and no blown fuses. It just does not work. The problem must be behind the wall covering. I cannot do any more out here on the road. SO, no AC of any kind in the sleeper, ONLY in the cab. :( NO refrigerator. Not our month. :(
