I am beginning to think I should expect things like this to happen when working on the GMC!

I have been preparing for my first rally and trying to get everything working beforehand so I don't have to bother anyone with simple questions. It has been going fairly well. I have discovered that my stabilizer bar was an aftermarket system from Caspro. The bar is 1-3/8ths in diameter and wasn't anything that JimK stocked in Ca, and suspension.com didn't even realize they carried one that size. All is good though, I contacted Caspro and for $63 (including shipping) they are shipping all the bushings including the drop bar assembly at either end. I hope to have them on before I leave.

I fixed my generator. There was a broken wire underneath and after reconnecting, the generator fired right up. Great! So I get the water working, from the hose and from the tank. I am still looking for the right connector to fill the tank with.

All in all things were looking great! I then realized that I hadn't tried powering the coach from the shoreline power. Simple I thought, I got out my extension cord, plugged it into the 30a adapter that I found inside the coach, threw the breaker and...nothing. No power. I came inside and discovered the breaker serving the outlet I was using had been tripped. Grrrr, now I have a short somewhere in the coach that I have to find before heading to Bean Station!

It is always going to be something isn't it?

Cheers.
