First real shake-down trip. 5 days, Fresno -> Oakdale -> Stanford University Med Center -> New Brighton Beach State Park -> Big Sur -> Cayucos -> Casa De Fruita -> Home in Fresno. We stayed in a hospital parking lot, state campground, and private full service RV parks. So we got a taste of the different types of amenities.

695 miles and the only problems were from the "nut behind the wheel".

Big Sur State Campgrounds are still closed and being used as staging areas for the firefighters. Private RV/camps are open. We saw one area where the burn reached Hwy1.

I didn't keep track of gas mileage because half the time I had the generator driving the roof air. I know, I should have anyway... next time.

I developed a gas smell and I think it is at the fill area.
The "Hot" water heater was scalding hot from the coolant lines. In fact, the cold water supply was also super heated. Any suggestions for a reason is appreciated before I start tearing things apart.

There are things to do yet. (Isn't there always) But, we're happy campers.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
