Hi,Just got back from three days of off road adventure in the SoCal Desert. Coach ran fine but still leaking trans fluid. Maybe a little less. Need more batteries or more solar panels as electrical consumption by Joanne, my son and his friends exceeds available amps. However Generac Primepact 50G ran flawlessly. I only crashed once "big time" on my Suzuki DR650.

Note to Self: Never try to keep up with 24 year old guys on dirt bikes.

This is Ocotillo Wells, about 90 minutes south of Palm Springs on the west side of the Salton Sea. Major offroad recreation area. We happened to be here early on Friday. This area is called the "Cove" and it rapidly fills up during the weekend. Bike, UTV and desert racer noise does not stop until 1:00 am and then the PeeWee riders start up at 7:00 am. Give them a PB+J at noon and they are good to go until bedtime. Unusually there were only 3 Life Flight helicopter landings on Saturday. They do now have an ambulance stationed right at "Shell Reef" a popular 400 ft. high series of large hills popular with the FreeStyle MX crowd. Fun to watch.
