I had planned to be on the road by now for at least a week. Originally was hoping for a 5-6 week trip out to DC. Going to be closer to 4 weeks. After the A/C was fixed the radiator started leaking. Replacing a radiator on one of these is a major undertaking. The only shop in town who works on RV’s over 25 years old was backed up for over a month. Without going into the sordid details, I have 2 different mechanics start working on this for me and neither worked out. So I was left to complete the job myself, one in which I did not take apart and have never done. But alas, I got it all back together and will take it for a good hour long test drive tomorrow. Then Monday the A/C gets recharged (had to take that all apart for the radiator job) and can start planning to hit the road. So much buildup, I just want to get started. I have been sleeping in the RV with Dash and will continue to do so to get him used to it ahead of departure. As I type this he is helping.;…………………………………………………………………………………………….
