Ok - I've been reasonably detached about the Edgemont. I have the Elandan..I don't need yet another money pit. Yep - that's me...cool...aloof...analytical...detached.

So today I took a break from the interior work on the Winnie and went over to the storage yard where the Edgemont lives with all the other RV's that never go out.

I expected to find it in low rider pose - the air bags deflated. Huh...it was up high and tight.

I went through things - yep all 6 wheel covers are there - Figured out how to pull out the generator - bottom is wet from oil - looked under the beds - went under - checked for rust - nothing of note.

Checked the oil - good and clean. Started right up. Settled down to idle once she warmed up. Transmission fluid is low - pan looks wet - probably leaks. Good thing I'm not in love with it.

I looked at the dash and noticed a level bubble - it was off to the left. I switched the auto level rocker to auto. I then watched the bubble slowly - gently - quietly - move to dead center.

I think I'm in love.

If the road rises to meet me I know my suspension will compensate Smile
