Well, I guess I'm learning on the road. Here's what I've learned in the past 24 hours:
Engine getting too hot on hills?
Pull over if it's too hot to continue. Rev the engine to make the fan cool it more. If you shut it off... wait 30 minutes before checking the coolant. Do check the coolant. Do add water if you have nothing else in your rig. Not doing so will make the same thing happen. It won't get better. Even if you wait all day and sleep in the 116 degree heat. The dogs will just pant a lot and you'll begin to smell.
Think that gas gauge is correct? Think again.
Always put some extra gas in your rig every time you stop... just to make sure. Cause those gauges can lie and leave you stranded on the side of the road in the middle of the desert at 12:30 in the morning and the tow guy will take an hour and charge you a lot (especially when your RV insurance hasn't registered you with their underwriters like they said they had... oh and do call them to complain the next day).
Think the lever of your septic tank is stuck? Think again.
Pull hard but don't have your head right underneath the hose cause it will leak all over you. If it does, the water pumps in the island work well for cleaning off.
So far, I think that's enough.
More to come... pray for us ;)
