Hi gang, I'd like to add myself to the trouble free travel list. My new
bride, as of August 12th, and I took off the morning of August 16th from
Columbus, NE towards Falcon, CO (Colorado Springs area) to visit my son and
family. This for me was the first long distance (500 miles) voyage in the
coach. Roz followed me out in our car. Everything ran as it should without
a hitch. The A/C fan doesn't blow at any speed, and the steering needs
tweaking yet, but knew that before we left. The only thing that had me a
little nervous is that the PO installed a "blue" electric fuel with the
mechanical pump removed. I would like to install some redundancy for peace
of mind though. all I can say was great first trip and looking forward to
many more and hopefully getting to some rallies too.
We also spotted a 2 tone brown/gold GMC heading Eastbound on I70 between
Colby, KS and Limon, CO, lots of waiving going on as we passed each other.
Anybody have a clue whom that might be?
Take care all,
Jim and Roz Ernst
