So we got parked for the night in Bonita,California. Put the rig in park while it was running, got the coach as level as I could so as to not skew the dipsticks to much. Added a 1/2qt of oil which is pretty normal for the miles we’ve put on. Topped the coolant off. Checked the tranny fluid and it said it was below at least a pint. So I put a pint of TransX in and let it settle in there and it read full but I’m a little skeptical. The dipstick read really low when I first checked. I buttoned it all up and will check it in the morning again when we head out. Maybe on a little leveler ground will give me a better reading. As for the bars leak. I haven’t had any leaks since adding it to the system. I’ll keep an eye on the radiator for any future leaks until we can get the funds together to change the parts out. We’re still on a budget with this trip if we plan on making it last.
Thanks everyone
