I thought I’d bring you up on the status of my recent repairs and/or fixes.
I recently replaced our 8 year old dead water pump and although we’ve only used it once since then, it’s working fine so far. Here’s the story

and here’s the one I used.
It’s certainly quieter than the old one.
I’ve done two repairs on our rig’s AC’s in the last few months. Most recently it was a stopped up evaporator drain pan on our rear AC, causing water to leak down into the bedroom.
Here’s that story.

I still plan on getting back up on the roof to finish completely cleaning the coil, especially now that we’re in a nice shady site. But for right now, it’s still not leaking.
Back in April, our 9 month old Coleman Mach 15, our front AC, quit cooling. After doing some troubleshooting, I discovered that for some reason the AC compressor was not receiving the signal from the thermostat. The fan would turn on, but not the compressor. Here’s more info on that.

I discovered by shorting the turn-on voltage between the fan to the compressor, everything worked.
Here’s more about the final fix. It’s still working great.

A week or so ago, I came across a new non-kinking, collapsible RV water hose and gave it a try. It’s called the Zero G RV and Marine Hose and is available from Camping World and other dealers.

My most recent repair was to our Sharp Microwave Convection Oven. The door refused to open, due to a broken latch. Here’s that story.

The black one at the bottom of the photo is the new one, and looks much stronger than the original. The new one is still working fine, and hopefully will work another 17 years like the first one.
Both Jan and Miss Karma really the Moose footstool. Sometimes they fight over it, and then sometimes Karma and Jan just have to share..
Tomorrow we’re going to drive into Katy to meet up with Brandi, Lowell, and Landon for dinner. We didn’t stop by last night on our way back from Clear Lake since it was so late, after 11pm, when we came through the area. And for that same reason, we didn’t stop at Chris’ as we left the Clear Lake area about 10pm.
