Yes its getting cold here in The Great White North. Its suppose to dip to -4C tonight so I drained all the water and pumped some RV antifreeze through the system.

It was kinda sad.. we did not have a good camping season.. first the engine went, then when we got away for a week in September it rained constantly so we came home on the 4th day. Hopefully next year will be better.

On a brighter note the coach runs better than ever, Paterson Rebuilt engine and tranny, and the EBL system fixed all my EFI problems.

Now time to plan for next years upgrades!

Over here on the left coast of Canada, it is still 10C.
Or 50F for the Metric challenged.

I about jumped out of my skin when I saw -4 in October. Then I realized it was a Canadian posting. It was -3 Saturday night here. I just brought the coach home tonight to pack it tomorrow for the Eastern States rally on Thursday. It will warm up a litte by then so who cares.

Get in your coach and bring it to Elkhart. It is only a long one day drive to the rally and you can buy some cheap non-alcohol gasoline on the way.

Ken,
I'd love to goto Elkhart and we even talked about it, but work comes first while I try to pay for this hobby Confused

I have a short convention in Chicago in two weeks, too bad that didn't work out closer in timing . I think I'll drive there rather than flying, about 8hrs.

If you can make it to Chicago in 8 hours then Elkhart is only 6 hours away.

On your trip to Chicago if you have time to stop 35 miles (50K) short of Chicago, give me a call and we can do Lunch or Dinner.

I-94, I-90, I-80 go through my county.

Rob wasn't born there, so I doubt he can eat the indigestible
gelatinous mass known as Vegemite. If you can, then my hat's off to
you!

Rob must like Vegemite, he had it every morning at Pueblo. Must have brought it himself. I didn't see anyone else trying it.
