Plans? What Plans?

Remember all those plans we wrote about in the last post?  Well, forget about them.

We picked up the trailer as planned on Oct 18th, spent the weekend in Elkhart, and left Monday for Indianapolis, IN.  Arrived there fine.  Then the trailer decided to have a mental breakdown.  Hydraulics wouldn't hold level (front legs drift down). No visible leaks to fix. No visible sign of hydraulic fluid anywhere. Hydraulic fluid reservoir at proper levels.  Did all our tricks of special sequence of front leg movements with no success. Finally got it to hold at 2 degrees front high. So that's the way we spent the night.

No success in finding anyone to look at it Tuesday around Indianapolis.  A phone call to Kay Cross (Indiana Interstate Enterprises/Cross RV) got us a few contacts we could try.  A gentleman near Shipshewana, IN would look at it and could repair hydraulics, so back to the Elkhart area we returned.

We got back to Elkhart, IN Tuesday afternoon.  Wednesday morning we wake up to electrical wire burning.  A quick call to the gentleman in Shipshewana said he'd look at that, too.  So he came out late Wednesday afternoon.  Turns out we're cooking our transfer switch and the hydraulic problems appears to be some seeping of fluid along two hydraulic lines.  Parts should be here tomorrow.  

Hopefully, we can get back on the road Sunday.  If not, we're fine here in Elkhart.

So that's what's happening with us. Thanks for checking up on us.  We'll post when we're comfortably back on the road.  David
